I adopted a puppy (Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix) this summer and it has been well over 20 years since I’ve had a puppy. After reading an overwhelming amount of conflicting information and trying to figure out training for myself, I contacted Steve when I started noticing some behaviors that I didn’t want to develop into permanent “bad” behaviors.Steve was able to work with me and my husband to teach us how to work with our puppy! He gave me the confidence I needed to successfully train my puppy.Steve uses a positive behavior approach to training (rewarding good and ignoring the negative behaviors). Steve came to our house and within four sessions we got the skills we needed to train our puppy with the desired behaviors we wanted her to exhibit.After each training session Steve emailed comprehensive and very detailed notes of everything we needed to continue our training. He reached out within 5 days after our visit to check in with us and answer any questions we had.I cannot say enough about how happy I was with the services Steve provided. I definitely would recommend him.

I adopted a German Shepherd and I trained her to be my service dog. With Steves help my dog excels above and beyond anything I couldve imagined. Steves input not only helped my Service Dog to be better but I learned that I had to train myself as well. Steve seriously is top notch and you can truly tell he cares about you and your Pup. Thank you so much!

We’ve had such a great experience with Steve! He’s thorough, empathetic and very professional and organized. We’ve already seen progress with our reactive, anxious rescue pup, 10/10 recommend!
