Spot-On K9 Training

Stephen is the best! He is truly The Dog Whisperer. Our 5 month old puppy just completed training sessions with Stephen and she is meeting and even exceeding all of her goals. We wanted a well-mannered dog and that’s exactly what we got. She learned leash training, stay in place, recall, and much more. Thank you, Spot-On K9 Training for helping her be the best dog she can be. I highly recommend Spot-On K9 Training to all dog owners without any reservations. It’s worth every penny!

We highly recommend anyone in need of training to Stephen @ Spot-On K9 Training! He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to anything dog training and works with you personally to achieve your goals based on what your focuses are. Our now 8-month old French Bulldog knows how to stay in "place", knows off-leash commands, overall has more confidence and many other very useful things! Stephen is a pleasure to work with and we appreciate everything he did for us! See attached for a picture of her in her "place"!

A few months after adopting Harley, my rescue (pit bull/terrier/bulldog mix), she started being aggressive towards people (especially men) and visitors at the house. It had become clear it was not just a phase and became sometimes embarrassing to have her very vocal reactions in public and especially aggressive towards visitors in the house. She is such a sweet dog, and it was clear to me she was reacting out of fear, but despite reading and watching many videos on training I was not making much progress. It was then that I found Stephen and all of his lovely reviews, and I reached out to him over email. After a few weeks (worth the wait) we got started! Harley was a completely different dog even after just the first session. Not only is Stephen a lovely, kind, and extremely communicative individual to work with- he understands dogs like no one I have ever met. Harley is now not scared of all the things she was before- men, horses, bikes, skateboards, strangers- and Stephen taught me how to communicate with her so that she respects and understands me as well. I am now able to travel with Harley, go off leash, bring her into any situation - with confidence! I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone especially with a scared or very aggressive/reactive dog. I never expected Harley to become such a miracle dog so quickly, and I am also confident that I can use all of Stephen’s teachings with my parents dogs back home in Florida. Thank you for everything Stephen, your enthusiasm and love for dogs combined with your one of a kind knowledge and education has changed Harley and I’s life only for the better! Here is a picture of Harley and Stephen after our last group lesson where we had so much fun as well!

Training with Stephen has changed our lives for the best! When we first came to Stephen, our dog Storm was highly reactive towards dogs and had severe separation anxiety. Stephen gave us the tools, confidence, and knowledge to best work with Storm. Storm has been able to attend 2 group classes and has done AMAZING. We are able to take him on walks in dog populated areas without needing to stress about what may happen next. Storm no longer is as anxious has he once was, and with the tools we learned from Stephen we are expecting this to only improve. Would HIGHLY recommend Spot-On K9 Training to anyone who has been struggling with their dog. You won't regret it!!
