Hello, I'm Brianna!
I moved to the Peninsula three years ago to pursue my passion for canine behavior and training. That passion was rekindled through the opportunity to photograph local rescue dogs while studying their behavior. From there, Fields to Focus Dog Training & Photography began to take shape, gradually evolving into what it is today.
With my three dogs by my side, my free time is best spent deep in the woods, exploring backroads with absolutely zero cellular service. We spend countless hours discovering new places throughout the Olympic Peninsula. These adventures provide my dogs with daily fulfillment while giving me the opportunity to scout unique locations for future photoshoots.
The experiences I’ve shared with dogs across the Peninsula have shaped so much of who I am and the life I live today. There’s something about exploring the great outdoors alongside a dog that’s difficult to put into words until you experience it for yourself.
Fields to Focus brings together my love for dogs and the outdoors with my background in canine behavior and photography. My goal is to serve dogs and their people throughout the Olympic Peninsula and surrounding areas by helping build meaningful connections and make the most of the time we share with our dogs.
My Approach
I’m a dog trainer and photographer who believes the best work starts with understanding the dog in front of me. For the past three years, I’ve worked under Meagan Karnes of The Collared Scholar and earned my PSDT-A certification through the Peninsula School for Dog Trainers. Alongside that mentorship, my experience working with rescue dogs and countless hours studying canine behavior and body language have shaped my understanding of what dogs need to feel safe, comfortable, and successful.
Dog Photography
Safety, comfort, and flexibility come first in every session. I work at your dog’s pace, allowing them the time and space they need to feel comfortable. My questionnaire helps me get to know your dog before we meet, giving me insight into their personality, needs, and comfort levels so I can tailor each session accordingly. By understanding canine body language, I can recognize when a dog needs a break, adjust my approach, and create an environment where genuine moments can unfold naturally.
Dog Training
Every dog is unique, and effective training starts with understanding the whole dog. During our initial consultation, I look at the bigger picture, including your dog’s health, exercise, history, daily routine, and the challenges you’re experiencing, alongside your goals for the future.
From there, I develop a training plan that takes these factors into account and works with your dog’s individual needs. Grounded in clear communication and a thoughtful, individualized approach, my goal is to help you better understand your dog, build a stronger relationship, and develop the skills to navigate everyday life together. Training is a collaborative process, and the focus is on setting both you and your dog up for lasting success.
