The Dog Training Spot

Stephanie is such an amazing and professional trainer! Definitely THE BEST trainer and behaviorist in the area! She's helped my boy Lance with overcoming his anxieties and improve his behavior so much, specially at such an advanced age. Lance is a 7yr old rescue turned into a 11 yr old grumpy boy by now; he also lives with a bit of hip pain and discomfort. Lance has come out of his shell much more and is now in an amazingly happy mood all the time. I'm so glad to have Stephanie help him with his behavior and making his life way more happy and enjoyable than I was able to on my own.

We used stephanie for a board and train for our 5 month old GSP puppy. We got her at 4 months old and she needed a lot of help! She is very active and hyper, a typical GSP puppy. Stephanie was able to give her a good foundation of puppy manners for us to continue to build on. We saw great improvement with jumping, sit and stay, and recall, I was impressed with what she learned in the amount of time she was there. I would recommend Stephanie!

I really feel I have to tell my experience. I sent my puppy there she was 7 mths. old and potty trained, but in need of good behavior. She came back after 2 weeks with no much improvement considering the large fee! The trainer took my puppy for one 20 minutes training cession for the 2 weeks there. Expensive for only being boarded. I can see, by the reviews, she was very good for a lot of dogs I then decided to send her to another trainer and what a difference! One on one training for no more money than before. This trainer is standing behind his work without any charge, he even said we have him for life if need be, that is standing behind your work!

I cannot recommend Stephanie highly enough! My dachshund, Gus, had become very reactive — barking, lunging, and generally anxious around other dogs, golf carts, and new people. I was honestly at my wit’s end before we started training. From the very first meet and greet, Stephanie demonstrated patience, deep expertise, and an incredible understanding of reactive behavior. She took the time to get to know Gus's triggers and built a customized training plan that not only made sense but delivered incredible results. He went for a two and a half week board and train; although I had misgivings at first, it was absolutely the way to go. What impressed me the most was her emphasis on positive reinforcement and building trust. My dachshund responded almost immediately to the new techniques. We’ve gone from stressful walks to calm, controlled outings where I feel confident handling my dog — something I never thought I’d say! The progress has been life-changing. If you’re struggling with a reactive dog and want someone knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to your dog’s well-being, do yourself and your dog a favor and call Stephanie. Thank you so much for giving us our peace of mind back!
