FirstBarkWe brought our Yorkipoo to a group class to help him socialize and be less reactive. Stephanie suggested he do overnights at her place with other small dogs who were nonreactive. We're seeing amazing progress! Stephanie is a great dog trainer with an intuitive sense about dog behaviors.

Stephanie's instructions worked like a charm to get my dog to stop barking out the window at any person walking by. Definitely recommend.
Stephanie is very professional, kind and caring for your pet needs. The videos are very helpful for the pet parents in seeing how their furs babies are doing while they are in her care.

My wife and I got a new rescue puppy. Shiloh, is a mixed breed, American Bully, Aussie shepherd, and Terrier. We knew he would grow to be a larger dog than we were used to owning so with that in mind we decided to find someone to help us train him. Stephanie has been a world changer for us and Shiloh. We decided on the in home basic training program that included 5 in home one on one training sessions. Stephanie arrived at each of the sessions promptly and has had great communication throughout the training period. Her ability to teach Shiloh and “us” how to communicate with each other and how to understand what it takes to create what will undoubtedly be a lifetime of love and happiness. Specifically we wanted to train Shiloh how to walk “on leash” in the neighborhood and in public spaces, as well as in home behavior with friends and relatives. The results have been amazing. On top of the behavioral training her knowledge of dietary and some “stool” issues that Shiloh was experiencing has helped us tremendously. We highly recommend Stephanie, your dog will love you for it.

Stephanie is a great dog trainer. We had been referred to her for our 7 week old Burnedoodle puppy, Marley to get her started off right. Stephanie in one week had her not barking nearly as much, sitting, staying, holding focus and ring a bell to go outside. Stephanie then came to our home to training us on how to work with Marley. (we were harder to train) We are very happy with Marley's progress. Give Stephanie a call today,
