Question on Google
We've had two lessons. Jaxon is getting great on heel and sitting when we stop. But in working "come", he swerves to the right of me. How do I direct him to sit directly in front of me? BTW, he is a left side heel.

Give him a correction straight back with your left hand and stand right in front of him when he sits. Praise him when he comes/sits correctly. My dog had this same issue and learned pretty quickly. Make sure to give him slack when he is in the correct position.

Very weird customer interactions, blocked me because I can’t afford their services after I requested to stop getting marketing messages… Just because I can’t afford the service now does not mean I wasn’t going to in the future. Definitely will not be using them to get my dog trained.

Steve is an expert and professional with training dogs. Whatever issue you have with your dog, he can show you how you can train and improve as a dog owner. Definitely made my bond with my dog much more beautiful and it helped him live a good life. Thank you Steve 👊🙏🤙

Before working with Steve, we tried several puppy classes and 1:1 training for behavioral issues, but nothing helped our dog’s aggressiveness toward certain people - we felt stuck. After starting Steve’s program about eight weeks ago, the difference has been incredible. Walks that used to be stressful are now a real treat. Steve has given us so many effective tools to better understand and communicate with our dog. We still have a few sessions left and are excited to see even more progress. Highly recommend Steve and his team!

Steve and the entire team at Nitro K9 have been absolutely exceptional. Working with Steve has changed my life — and my dog’s — in ways I didn’t expect. After my husband passed away, I was left with his 3-year-old Siberian Husky. We had done basic obedience training elsewhere, but daily walks were a constant struggle, and public outings were stressful due to his anxiety and reactivity. From the very first session, Steve’s experience and calm, confident approach made all the difference. Not only did my dog gain incredible skills and confidence, but the training completely transformed our relationship. We now enjoy peaceful, fun walks, and he’s relaxed and well-mannered in public spaces and around other dogs. The real gift of working with Steve is the bond I now share with my dog — one built on trust, respect, and joy. I believe my husband would be proud of us. I can’t recommend Nitro K9 highly enough. If you want a dog-training experience that is truly life-changing, this is where you’ll find it.

We are so thankful for NitroK9. Steve is an incredible trainer and his staff, North and others, are just as excellent. They helped us with our two year old Cane Corso who came to us as a foster turned rescue right after having a litter. In the first few months she destroyed everything in sight, but with their guidance she has completely settled in. Now she is calm, confident, still playful, and knows all the right commands. What stood out to me was how much they also coached us as owners. They did not just work with our dog, they worked with us. They even took the time to educate me on her diet and overall health. We moved from kibble to cooked meals and are now preparing for raw food. Her health has improved so much because of it. My work schedule is all over the place, but NitroK9 was flexible and always worked with me on appointments. That kind of care and understanding goes a long way. If you are looking for real results, real coaching, and people who care about your dog as much as you do, NitroK9 is the place to go. We are forever grateful for what they have done for us and for our Cane Corso Rhea. I attached pictures of her lovely personality today 🖤
