Bay Area K9 Association

I started bringing my Dutch shepherd puppy here when he was right at around 12 weeks and have been coming every week since! I’m excited to go to training every week and I love how Steve is always looking to help me improve my training and relationship with my pup. I also really like how he explains concepts in ways that are easy to understand and makes everything super fun and light! I think what sets him apart from a lot of trainers is he is always there for support and feedback or if I need an answer for a quick question. He makes me truly feel like he wants the best for me and my dog. Great trainer with lots of experience!

I can't say enough great things about Bay Area K9! From the very first session, it was clear we were in expert hands. My dog Cherry, who used to struggle with leash pulling, barking, anxiety, has completely transformed. The training was not only effective but also compassionate and tailored to Cherry’s unique personality. Steve took the time to explain the why behind each technique, which helped me become a more confident and consistent dog owner. Sessions were well-structured, progress was tracked clearly, and I appreciated the mix of in-person and follow-up support. It's not just about obedience — it’s about building a strong, respectful relationship with your dog. And thanks to this training, that’s exactly what we’ve achieved. If you’re looking for real results with a trainer who genuinely cares, look no further than Bay Area K9. Highly recommended! — Margarette
