We had Steve to the house for one session and enrolled our girl in a week long off site training. His help with Bailey was life changing. She is a completely different dog. Off leash is phenomenal! Recall and place are flawless.

We took our intelligent, stubborn, willful 8-month old, 85lb Rottweiler puppy to Steve. Truth be told, Moose's issues stemmed from too much freedom and lack of structure due to our mistakes. A week later Moose returned calmer and with needed lessons and structure. While we have a ways to go to continue the lessons Steve instilled in Moose, we are much better prepared to handle that now. We highly recommend Steve's program for your fur babies.

I have a very reactive and anxious French Bulldog that I’ve had trouble with for years. Harley was very anxious and reactive when first meeting Steve and would not stop barking. By the end of our session, Steve was able to pet Harley and she was so calm...the best I’ve seen her with a stranger. Steve gave me great tools to work with for not only my girl dog, but my boy as well. Definitely recommend!

Steve was great. Came to the house for the foundation training, learned so much from his presentation. He left our house that day with everyone having a deep understanding of what to expect and also how to live life with a happier much more healthy relationship with our dog Bo. A couple weeks passed before Bo went for the 5 day board and train and when my wife picked up Bo she could tell right away he was a new puppy. Using the plan and guidelines that Steve uses and teaches us to use Bo is able to now go on walks without jumping on us and trying to bite our hands. He’s showing us that Steve has done exactly what he said he would do now it’s up to us to stick to the program . Thanks Steve.
