FirstBarkStephanie was taking care of my pup, Haze for about seven weeks. Haze was really enjoying herself with all the other pups boarding. Many thanks Stephanie and Cherie for taking such good care of Haze. Will definitely use The Dog Training Spot again. They also have a doggie day care.

Lulu had a great day with Steph! We look forward to more training!
After only one meeting with my dog Odin. It was recommended that I try hemp calming treats for his over excitement and inability to follow commands or stick them for more than a few seconds due to being way over stimulated. After only a few days of being on the calming hemp treats he is like an entirely different dog. Thank to so much for your recommendation of what to try! You're the best!!!

Dutchess was 1 year’s old when we first got her. After having her for awhile we realized that she was afraid of men. We thought we could have it under control until she bit my significant other. It was also hard to take her to fun places because of her reactivity. After an embarrassing moment of my dog being reactive at Petco I thought it was best to get help from a professional. We then found Stephanie and we saw results quick. Now my boyfriend and Dutchess have a much better relationship. Thank you Stephanie for showing that not all Rottweiler’s are “aggressive” breeds, but just misunderstood!

I hired Stephanie with The Dog Training Spot to teach my 3 year old Pitbull ( who is a total love bug and sweetheart who LOVES EVERYONE) some basic manners, as he was jumping on every person he got excited to see! She did an amazing job and I’m actually hiring her for more work in the future. I recommend her 100% she’s awesome and great at her job! She was the only trainer I contacted that wasn’t negative about the stigma attached to his breed, she was up for the task and I appreciate her so much! Much success in his Advanced 6 week In Home Training. See pics below!
