FirstBarkWas excellent at training our puppy and us on walking with leash, correcting bad habits and obeying commands. Worked with us on scheduling, very personable and our puppy was a big fan of him. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for having their dog trained.

Steve is amazing! Showed us what we needed to do to let our dog show his full potential. We now have a much more confident dog that listens to several new commands.
I had to cancel our appointment with getting moved into an apartment and starting a new job- Not once did this man(Steve) make me feel awful about this. When I am ready and actually more prepared I WILL be in touch but that honestly said it all right there and I’m excited to see him in the short future! I have read the reviews, and I will be in touch when I am more prepared! Thank you, Steve!

We had a great experience working with Steve during Stella’s board and train program. From the beginning, Steve has been knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in Stella’s success. Not only did he make a positive impact during training, but he has also continued to support us after bringing Stella home, which has meant a lot as we continue reinforcing her skills. Steve has been a pleasure to work with, and we appreciate the time and care he puts into helping both dogs and owners succeed. We’re excited to continue building on Stella’s progress and look forward to seeing her skills improve even more. Highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a trainer who truly cares and goes above and beyond!
Very quick response, getting back to me within an hour of contact. Took the time to actually talk to me about the issues to decide the best options moving forward. Very patient, knowledgeable, and understanding. If I get another pup, I know who I'm going to for training!
