I boarded my never been trained, NEVER, 9 year old and lived with an opinion that you can't teach old dog new tricks! false, i was wrong and I am so glad about this. Steve boarded Yoko, changed and made him affable all in 2-3 weeks but please don't make the mistake that the job is done. Dog's learnt the right way, do I know the right way, do I speak the language which conveys that? And that is a journey - So glad that I additionally signed up for group classes after Yoko came back after about 2-3 weeks and I am glad I am doing this....I know I am making mistakes and he's unlearning his training so fast, It's good to get the grip in time and catch my mistakes early -Steve Welch is beyond recommendation, he's the guy! But besides just the correctional training you choose, please don't forget the after training classes of that group training! It's really where you catch up in case of going wrong! Just go to this guy and nowhere else and be prepared to get some tough lessons - ITS FOR OUR BEST!
Steve is The Dog Whisperer for sure. You wont be dissappointed if you are looking for a service dog. Steve and Kelly are awesome.
I've had the pleasure of having Steve train our little mixed breed puppy Baxter at a very young age. Steve delivered back to me a very obedient and well trained pet and friend. He's been there for us and I would recommend him to anyone! Also when he tells you to watch the video....watch the video!
