Pack Leader LLC

Steve did an amazing job with our puppy! She went from reactive and barking at strangers to walking calmly on a loose leash and getting her picture taken with Santa Claus. His methods were gentle and kind; not only did our dog emerge with lovely manners and her same goofy personality, but she thoroughly enjoyed her time there and genuinely likes being near Steve and his wife. I cannot say enough good things about them, their facility, and their training program.

I highly recommend Steve and this program. Our 6 mo old Vizsla (Rusty) just recently completed the 30 day board and train. After settling back in his home after 2 weeks, the difference is amazing. Aside from the obedience training with all basic commands (sit, down, stay, heel, etc.) it’s Rusty’s drastic improvement with overall maturity and confidence that’s the most noticeable. He no longer jumps all over “visitors” when meeting new people and is a confident playmate with other dogs. That said, to maximize the program, it’s imperative that you continue to spend the time needed daily with your dog to continue the training techniques that Steve establishes. At the conclusion of the board, Steve thoroughly walks you through this process. Really happy and pleased that we found Pack Leader. Again, I would highly recommend this service.

After looking close to home, I couldn't find the right fit for me and my puppy, Captain Jack Sparrow. So I was really excited to find Steve and Madison in Hope Hull, AL. I knew the first day we met that they were a perfect match for us! Steve's wisdom and exceptional experience in dog training was very evident in his ability to get the best from my little mini golden doodle, even with all of his busy little "puppy energy." And Steve's patience with me in learning how to maintain the things Jack learned in his 4-week stay was great. Steve and Madison complement one another so well. I HIGHLY recommend using them to help you get the best FROM your dog and FOR your dog. They are authentic and are just truly good honest people. Their willingness to support Jack and I in the future is something else that sets them apart. They stand by what they do, which in this day and age isn't always the case. They truly care, and Jack and I will definitely go back in the future to learn more. Until then, it's so much fun to have a puppy back home who has manners and who I can communicate with and then actually see him "get it!"
