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!
Steve is wonderful. He is gentle, kind, and understanding with the dogs--exactly my kind of trainer. He's helped us greatly with our shelter rescue dog Electra, can answer any question, and he has our highest recommend.
