We have never used a dog trainer, although we should have in the past! After a great deal of research, we found Steve at Pack Leader Dog Training, actually he found us. We posted we were looking for a trainer through a helpful website, and he contacted us right away. As soon as I spoke with Steve, I felt confident that he would be great with our boxer. He is very calm, funny, smart and easy to trust and work with. He was willing to speak with me over the phone first and answer all the questions I had while also explaining his techniques. Our Boxer was comfortable with Steve from the moment he arrived, and so we’re we. He definitely knows what he’s doing and has given us all the tools needed to continue training Frankie. I am very happy to know I can contact him anytime with any further issues! Thank you Steve! You are truly amazing.

Steve met with us and our two male dogs; a 6.5 year old Anatolian shepherd mix and a 20 month old Pyrenees Lab mix. We really needed help with basic obedience, socializing and changing the hierarchy in our household! We were not being treated as the “pack leader” by our eldest dog. Steve spent many hours with us and gave each dog several hours of individual training time until the last hour where we got to see the two dogs interact together. He provided us with so many tools and techniques to implement going forward. Both dogs made fantastic progress in just the handful of hours we spent with him. I definitely feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel because our oldest dog has never been good with interacting with many dogs, especially other males. Just being able to have them within a few feet of eachother in the same room was such great progress. I’m looking forward to additional training with Steve and I so highly recommend him!

Oh my goodness, we are so thankful for all the insight that Steve gave to us in regards to our dogs. So helpful and has helped boost my confidence with our rescue dog LeeLoo. I was ready to give up on her but was amazed at how gentle she was under Steve's command.
I recommend him completely for you and your dog. Thanks Steve?

Steve is in it with you and your pup ALL THE WAY! I appreciate how available he makes himself for inquiries that may occur, even after the initial session. He is definitely committed to providing quality care, above and beyond what we expected! Thanks Steve! Prim is growing into her true self: calmer, gentler and more trusting of her people ❤️
