FirstBarkWe couldn't be happier with the results working with Steve and our German Shepherd. Before, we couldn't go on walks without constant pulling. After one visit right to our house, Steve made a big impact. Then we continued to build on that with more sessions. He's patient with both the dog and the owner as they learn the commands and techniques. Highly recommend.

Training has been amazing for us. Steve really personalized training towards our needs and goals. I have a PITBULL we adopted and we worked on manners along with her self confidence. She finished her training a few weeks ago, we had a vet appointment today. I was dreading it!!! I had a new dog with good manners. No more - barking, pulling, or jumping on people. She sat waiting on vet and was a complete angel!! I am a proud momma! Thank you Steve
My dog had problems with resource guarding, excessive barking and adjustment to her crate. She and I have made great progress with Steve's help.Steve answered all my questions and dealt with my concerns.
Steve is a fantastic trainer! Our dog, Maggie, has done so well under his training. Maggie is a hound so she’s been very scent driven and would pull incessantly. Maggie now has learned how to walk so much better on a leash (where it can be enjoyed by both dog and owner), how to stay in place, and so much more. I highly recommend Steve and his dog training!

We have had a great experience with Steve! Our 1.5 year old puppy was very reactive to other dogs and we had a hard time taking him on walks around our neighborhood. He also would not come back inside after we let him out. After just 4 training sessions, it has been night and day with him. He is better behaved and a better listener. We still have 2 more sessions and group sessions and are excited for our puppy to continue to grow with Steve's help!
