Steve has been training my AKC dobermans for over a year. Male doberman had chewing and destructive behaviors before he started training. Female doberman was going potty all over the place. After the first in-kennel training they started going potty on a schedule in their 4 by 4 litter box. Additionally, they listen to hand commands such as sit, stay and down. One of my dobbies is certified and I am able to take him anywhere with me. Steve Welch has taken my calls at any time and assisted with helpful info and tips during ear cropping, parvovirus treatment for the female dobbie, and general maintenance for the puppies. I cannot thank Steve enough for his help. I am able to carry on with my every day activities without worrying about my doggies acting recklessly. Review may vary from one individual to other but I guess the services worked for me and my dogs. Pet owners have to compromise to take the training as well.
