Venture Dog Training Austin

Steven has been absolutely amazing to work with. When we first started, my dog Jazz could barely go outside our house without completely losing it. He was extremely reactive and anxious about the world around him. Through Steven’s patience, skill, and dedication, Jazz has gained so much confidence. Steven helped him realize that the world is not such a scary place, and because of that, Jazz is now able to enjoy experiences that once felt impossible for him. Steven is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly willing to go the extra mile for both dogs and their owners. I’m so grateful for the progress Jazz has made and cannot recommend Venture Training Team enough.

Steven at Venture Dog Training has been an incredible mentor and played a huge role in my growth as a professional dog trainer. He helped me tremendously by deepening my understanding of behavior, structure, and clear communication — not just teaching techniques, but teaching the “why” behind them. His guidance and high standards pushed me to grow in both confidence and skill, and his mentorship contributed greatly to me earning my certification. I’m truly grateful for his leadership and highly recommend him to anyone looking for knowledgeable, structured, results-driven training. Thank you, Steven!!

I hired Steven to help get my corgi Chihuahua mix dog with self control since we are expecting a baby in the family and my daughter moved in with her 2 cats. My dog, Oliver, had selective listening skills prior to training and would hyperventilate and bark constantly around the cats. With Steven’s guidance and consistent training approach we were able to get Oliver to listen, and now he can hang out with the cats without barking at all. At first, it didn’t seem like it was going to work, but with consistent training over a three month period were able to be successful.
