Great Companion Dog Training

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 emaile

Steve has been a wonderful dog trainer and resource for us! We have gotten results using the methods Steve has taught us. We love that he uses positive reinforcement. Our pup loves Steve and his dogs. We highly recommend Steve!

Steve is a wonderful trainer! He worked with my family to help us train our new puppy. We love Steve’s gentle and positive methods.

I adopted a German Shepherd and I trained her to be my service dog. With Steve's help my dog excels above and beyond anything I could've imagined. Steve's 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!

Steve helped us at a time when we really needed it! We had just brought home a newborn baby and our 14 yr old dog was have a really hard time. Steve was able to come to our for training within days of my first email and our session was super effective. We spent an hour together working with our dog and Steve was super tuned into our pets needs and helped us create a training regimen catering specifically to the things he was struggling with. We’ve been able to integrate our lessons into our day t day and things have really improved. My only regret is that we didn’t call sooner.
