Honestly, our pup was an absolute nightmare on the leash—just pulling constantly and getting way too excited whenever we saw anyone. Working with him has been a total game-changer. He taught us how to manage that crazy energy and actually get our dog to focus on us during walks. It’s made our daily walks so much more peaceful. Highly recommend!
He treats every dog as an individual and genuinely wants to see them succeed. What stands out most is his passion, patience, and willingness to go above and beyond for both the dogs and their families.

He treats every dog as an individual and genuinely wants to see them succeed. What stands out most is his passion, patience, and willingness to go above and beyond for both the dogs and their families. It's rare to find someone who cares this much about their work and their community. Thank you for everything you do. Ayala K9 Dog Training is making a real difference, and I couldn't recommend Steve more highly.

We drove 2 hrs for two training sessions and it was absolutely worth it. In just those two sessions we saw a huge difference in our reactive dog Biggie. Steve didn’t just train our dog-he taught us to better understand, manage and communicate with Biggie. His knowledge, patience and ability to explain everything in a way that made sense gave us the confidence to continue working with Biggie at home. We’re so grateful for his help and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and effective dog trainer!!

Steve has a lot of knowledge on dog behavior and conveys how to look for triggers in my dog. My dog is calm but very reactive around dogs and was able to be calm and within inches of his dog without being reactive. I’ve seen a huge change in just two trainings and now I know what I need to work on until his next class. And the price for what you get you can’t beat it. After taking him to a different trainer for a month I didn’t see much change like I did after 2 classes I highly recommend using Ayala K9 for your dogs trainings.
