FirstBarkSteven is very knowledgeable and very talented at what he does. He makes a training plan to best fit the dog and owner with their goals and does not use a cookie cutter approach. He helped me with my German Shepherd on some reactivity issues as well as with advanced obedience. I would recommend him and his services a million times over!

Steven is very patient and knowledgeable. We have a hound who is ruled by her nose, but he helped her learn to obey fairly well. Can't say enough good things about his ability to work with stubborn dogs.
Steven is incredible! We boarded my daughters Cattle Dog with him and were just amazed at the results after he trained him! I'm not sure we would have survived Crosby without Steven's help! :) He is terrific! We highly recommend him for basic or advanced training and everything in between!
Steven did a great job helping us train our dogs. He came to our home and taught us how to work with our dogs to help them behave better on walks. I would recommend him to anybody needing help with their dogs!

Mr. Jackson is a loving family man and an exceptional dog trainer. I highly recommend him for anyone who is considering a training program. I believe he has a rare and true understanding of a dogs psyche as well as a deep love of animals. This combined with his passion for their success makes him the go to person for most training programs or behavioral issues. Mr. Jackson has proven himself and his dogs in the IPO sports world. He knows what a team has to accomplish to have fun and success in this venue. I truly enjoy watching him and his four legged team members work, play, and progress. Mr. Jackson boarded and worked with my GSD female "Esme." Esme had a lack of confidence. Steven brought out her drive, strenghened her confidence and trained her fully as a service companion. He also showed me techniques to keep her training solid. Esme is a true joy in my life! The wonderful thing you'll notice about Steven is his true love and appreciation of our canine friends and their special place in our hearts and families. He is always genuinely happy to give advice and help figure out any problems that should arise. When I'm faced with a "doggy dilemma" I always ask myself, "what would Steven do?" Then I check with him:)
