About the Author

I’m Brent Hartman, Founder and Lead Researcher of Poodle Report. After losing my Standard Poodle, Angus, my search for Brent Hartman | Lead Researcher & Founder Brent Hartman is the founder of Poodle Report and a dedicated student of canine cognition. His journey into the "Poodle Brain" began with his late companion, Angus, a black Poodle whose uncanny problem-solving skills challenged everything Brent knew about traditional dog training. Recognizing that the Poodle's high intelligence requires a unique "Negotiation-Based" approach, Brent transitioned from a seasoned owner to a lead researcher. He has spent hundreds of hours synthesizing data from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the AKC to bridge the "Cognitive Gap" for owners worldwide. His work focuses on evidence-based protocols like the Metabolic Reset and the Independence Protocol, transforming the bond between humans and high-IQ dogs into true genius partnerships.
