We purchased our new puppy from Hopeful Dreams and worked with Domestic Dog Training for our puppy Jasper’s early obedience training before he moved in with us. We could not recommend this partnership and Steve at Domestic Dog Training more highly. When Jasper moved in with us at 4 months old (two months iwth Domestic Dog Training), Jasper knew heel, sit, down, place, and stay, and was mostly potty trained and fully crate trained. The foundation Steve built made an enormous difference in both Jasper’s behavior and ease of transition into our home as first-time dog owners. Steve didn’t just train our dog, he helped us continue the obedience work and create a smooth, structured transition into our home during those critical first weeks, and months. We’ve stayed committed to continuing the training ourselves, which has been incredibly important, and Steve was always responsive early on whenever I had questions as a new dog owner. Since bringing Jasper home, we’ve consistently been complimented on both his behavior and temperament. He is calm, confident, socialized, well behaved around people, and plays extremely well with dogs of all sizes and ages. We think so highly of Steve and the training program that when we travel, we plan to board Jasper with him and continue investing in taking his obedience to the next level. We don't live close, but are willing to make that sacrifice. One thing worth noting is that while some breeders and trainers focus heavily on social media and constant video updates, Steve is 100% focused on the dogs, doesn't let anything distract him from him work, and cares deeply about the quality of the training itself. The end result shows. We strongly recommend Domestic Dog Training, as well as his partnership with Hopeful Dreams to anyone looking for serious, high-quality obedience training.
