This has been the most amazing experience of my life. Steven is extremely patient with the dogs and owners. He takes the time to thoroughly explain dog behaviors and helps me learn better handling behaviors as well. I would highly recommend SBDT to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate trainer.

We recently started training for our puppy with Alivia, and we are loving every minute! Everything is planned and explained so well and the training sessions are helping so much! I love how welcoming and caring both Steven and Alivia were at our first meeting and my pup warmed up to both of them immediately! Communication is great, I always know what we are working on beforehand and they are great which checking in! We are excited to continue and to see even more growth in our pup!

I had a 10/10 great experience with Steven. He helped me train my highly energetic dog Oso, specifically with leash pulling. I tried everything for weeks before reaching out to Steven, nothing worked. Within moments he listened, understood, and showed me the solution. He was kind, encouraging and helpful through the entire process. He gave me the tools to continue working with my dog to make our walks 100X better. If you’re thinking about contacting Steven and his team or on the fence, do it. Your dog will thank you!

I was at my wit’s end with a rescue husky puppy. Steven and Alivia made me feel better about my situation! I did in home puppy school and the Puppy Bootcamp 8-5pm for two weeks. She’s still a husky and still a puppy but this experience changed my relationship with her and gave me confidence that we can spend her life happily together. They are patient and caring to the dogs and honestly became trusted advisors and friends to me during this process. Sauni graduated today and now my responsibility will be to keep what’s been learned in her mind. They trained both of us. I highly recommend their services. They will tailor the experience to you and your beloved pet. I intend to continue training with them as the program also includes group sessions for several months, as well as going further into certification so perhaps we can be a therapy team for others in need. I’m so thankful for Steven and his staff.
We have a dog we adopted when he when he was around 2yrs old. What we didn’t realize is how much the dog had been through with his former owner.

We have a dog we adopted when he when he was around 2yrs old. What we didn’t realize is how much the dog had been through with his former owner. He was very reactive towards other dogs and wanted to nip at them. Steven is very much a dog whisperer. After just a few sessions with Steven, he was able to get our dog within a few feet of his shepherd. We are now able to walk our dog around the neighborhood and not have to worry about him being out of our control.
