FirstBarkWe recently used Steve with Pack Leader for training out 2 year of Ridgeback. All I can say is WOW! Steve was quick to respond, schedule and easy to work with. The majority of training was about us, the humans! We saw immediate change on day one, and we continue to become stronger leaders of our pack. Highly recommend! Thanks Steve!

We are so thankful for Steven James, owner of Pack Leader. After one week of boarding/training our 2 year old German Shepherd, we picked up a completely calm, and transformed dog. Steve was able to bring out all of his potential to be an amazing dog. Steve very patiently taught us the many errors of our ways and showed us what to do to maintain his training. Steve is very knowledgeable and thoroughly explains all of his methods. After going home, Steve continued to answer all of our questions and supported us along the way. After a week of putting everything we learned in place, Steve provided a follow up home visit to observe us and our boy in his natural environment. Everything Steve taught us has greatly improved our relationship with our dogs and quality of all our lives. Thank you Steve!!
Steve has been more than help with our older Chaweenies. The tools he has given us and taught us has been amazing. Their behavior is getting better day by day.
Steve did a amazing job with our dog Loki, it was like seeing a brand new dog come together. I appreciate everything you did 🙂 thank you so much

We did the dog board and train program with Steve with our adopted German Shepard. After just a week, our dog came home COMPLETELY changed. We were blown away. We are going to recommend this to everyone we know. Not only that, he was so professional and easy to work with. He sent us videos throughout the week of his progress and trainings, gave us custom training content specific to our dog and questions, came to our home and gave us lessons, and said we can call or text anytime with our questions for a lifetime. Can’t say enough good things. If you’re thinking about doing this, don’t think anymore and just do it. You’re going to wish you did it sooner and it’s going to make yours and your dogs life better everyday for the rest of your lives. Thanks Steve!
