Steady On Point

We are so thankful to have fund Alan at Steady on Point! From the initial consultation, tour/meet 'n great at Woodbine Hills, to our GSP entering Foundation Obedience training; nothing but class and enjoyment. Alan is unbelievable with the dogs and makes the transition for the human non-professionals seamless. Our little girl came home a new, and better, member of the family and is jazzed for the next level! Thank you, Alan ... from ALL the Deans Pic is our 8 mo female GSP post 2 weeks of Foundation Obedience with Steady on Point - unreal!

Steady on Point, under the guidance of Alan Otts, offers a remarkable bird dog training experience that I have found to be unparalleled. From the outset, working with Alan has been a pleasure, largely due to his exceptional communication skills. He ensures that you are informed and comfortable with the training process every step of the way, making the experience not just beneficial for your dog, but also educational and reassuring for you as the owner. What sets Alan and Steady on Point apart is their commitment to a no force training approach. This philosophy resonates deeply with me, as it aligns with my own beliefs about animal training and welfare. Alan's method focuses on enhancing the dog's natural abilities rather than imposing behaviors through coercion. This approach is particularly effective with more sensitive dogs, who might shut down or react negatively to traditional force-based methods. With Alan's guidance, it's truly remarkable to see these dogs flourish, becoming confident and skilled bird dogs without the use of force. The results of Alan's training speak for themselves. His ability to bring out the best in dogs, respecting their individual needs and sensitivities, is nothing short of miraculous. This is why, when it comes to training my dogs, I wouldn't consider working with anyone but Alan. The combination of his expertise, the efficacy of his no force training approach, and his exceptional communication makes Steady on Point the ideal choice for anyone looking to enhance their bird dog's abilities in a compassionate and effective manner.

Alan is an absolutely fantastic trainer! He took my young lab pup Daisy and not only has her hunting upland but also dialed in her basic obedience. The pup I got back is machine and loves to spend time doing retrieving exercises but also is able to calm down and be the family dog inside. Alan was able to determine exactly which method and speed to work Daisy and it is very apparent they connected as she absolutely loves working with him. I highly recommend anyone and everyone that is looking for a reliable hunting dog to reach out to Alan!
