FirstBarkAmazing experience! Steve is great and gave us such amazing foundational work! We have an adult Great Pyrenees who was adopted at 3, so we were unsure where to start with him. We’re already seeing amazing growth in our dog as Steve taught us ways to calm his nerves and create a healthy family dynamic for him. Would definitely recommend Steve!

Steve is awesome! In his visit, Steve taught us some gentle but effective techniques to help keep our energetic boy under control. Steve’s tips and tricks to really helped us understand our rowdy pup and his emotions, and we feel so hopeful and excited that he is already showing so much progress after only one visit! I encourage anyone with a dog to give Steve a text as he can help you to better understand their minds. We had a great experience with pack leader dog training and will definitely be spreading the word! 10/10 recommend!!
Steve was a great helping hand in training our Labrador mix Smokey. He gave us great tips and tricks to reinforce him becoming a more calm dog, and make us more relaxed confident owners. He even took Smokey on a short walk and broke many of his bad habits as well as demonstrating proper walking etiquette. All in all I highly recommend Steve for the invaluable service he provides.

There are a lot of dog trainers out there that can teach your dog how to do basic commands, but that's not what we were looking for. Our 5 month dachshund puppy had real behavioral issues. Steve helped us understand what our puppy was thinking and why these behaviors were happening, so we knew how to get them under control. Steve was honest and told us that it would be a process and our dog won't be changed the moment he left the session. But, I will tell you, our puppy was definitely different right after that one season. We had a better understanding of each other. I'm looking forward to seeing more improvement over time after using the tools Steve taught us. Thank you so much, Steve!
Absolutely loved our experience. We were taught very simple things to help us with our sweet, but slightly unruly, fur babies. Knowing the why behind why you should train your dogs was so helpful. It was very eye opening for both of us. We highly recommend Pack Leader Dog Training!!
