Steve is very knowledgeable about dog behaviors and personalities. He does an excellent job at sharing practical examples and then how to use them with your dog. We liked how he was easy to connect to. He was funny, professional, and sincere. We saw improvements just hours after our first session. We highly recommend him as a dog trainer!
Steve is very knowledgeable and personable. We received in-depth instruction on training our 11 month old golden doodle and we immediately saw behavioural changes. Definitely would recommend!
My wife and I are almost 80 years of age. We recently had one session with Steven, and the positive changes in our 4 y.o. dog (and in us) has been dramatic. We are working to be in control and remain calm, and our Zoey is much more relaxed and able to just be our pet dog and not the pack leader. Steven is GREAT !
He explained everything so I could understand it. He assists along the way, he really focuses on training the handler and not just the dog!
