About Kasten's Dog Training Inc

Kasten’s Dog Training is a family run business that was founded to educate dogs and their owners in order to achieve its moto, "breathing life into your dog". I had attended a renowned dog training school where I became certified in obedience training and behavior modification (behaviorist). We specialize in pet dog training ranging from happy go lucky, fearful, hyperactive, shy, and dog-human/dog-dog aggression. Through continuing education by attending workshop, seminars and videos our team of trainers is equipped to handle pesky behaviors like barking or jumping, reactivity, and aggression. We also specialize puppies. Training owners how to properly handle, socialize, potty train, and much more in our weekly puppy pre-school class.

My chow is kinda mean, not sure what to do, or if there is anything I CAN do

I also agree. Take them to Kastens. Ultimately your success depends on your consistency with the training, but Kastens gives a great foundation to start from. I took my 7 month old Giant Schnauzer for a 2 week residency. He came back a different dog, but we have to reinforce several times a day.

We took our Mini Aussie there for training. He was protective over his home and didn’t like being around people. After our training sessions, we have no issues with people coming over or even encountering strangers. The Kastens team did an amazing job with him, they were able to assist him in ways that were positive to him. The staff also helped us learn how to calm him down and redirect him in situations that would previously set him off. I highly recommend Kasten’s programs.

If you were to tell me a year ago that I would be calmly walking my 150lb, 6year old German Shepherd, or don’t have to call the vet when I’m in the parking lot to make sure room is ready and there are no dogs inside, I would have never believed you.

If you were to tell me a year ago that I would be calmly walking my 150lb, 6year old German Shepherd, or don’t have to call the vet when I’m in the parking lot to make sure room is ready and there are no dogs inside, I would have never believed you. Steve and his team were amazing and have truly changed our life with our dog. I thought he was too old and too set in his ways to train. We discovered the first time we boarded him, extreme separation anxiety and he absolutely could not be around other dogs. And walking him? Forget it. He walked me. I called a lot of places with in a 3 hour distance who claimed to work on anxiety/dog aggression. Out of all of them, Kasten’s was the only place I instantly felt like knew exactly what I was dealing with and was confident they could help. Steve was the ONLY trainer who not only called me back, but spent at least an hour explaining all the ways he would handle my dog and how he would overcome the many concerns we had with our dog. I can now walk my dog calmly and not in complete fear. I can now take him to public parks and to PetSmart, and the vet with no fear of dog aggression or not being able to control him. I am also incredibly confident in being able to plan a vacation and know that he can be boarded there and they know how to handle him (my parents would always have to drive 9 hrs to come dog sit and could never board). I am so thankful for the opportunity Steve and his AMAZING staff (literally, they are all awesome!) have given us. They have given us our life back and given Blitz a much better life as we are are now able to get our dog the proper exercise needed. FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS, THANK YOU SO INCREDIBLY MUCH!! ❤️
