Venture Dog Training Austin

Steven is incredible! He worked wonders with our Doberman, Tyson, helping him overcome his reactivity toward both people and other dogs. Under Steven’s expert guidance, Tyson has made tremendous progress. His compassionate, fear-free training techniques truly made a difference! Tyson is now much more relaxed, confident, and willing to trust. We are so grateful for Steven’s support and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and caring trainer!

We are so impressed with the progress our dog has made after just 8 sessions with Steven from Venture Dog Training! She learned how to sit, stay, lay down, take a breath, and leave it—and she absolutely loves Steven (and so do we)! Steven is not only super knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly attentive. He’s even helped answer questions outside of our scheduled sessions—which we try not to take advantage of, haha! He’s truly passionate about what he does, and it shows. We especially love that Steven comes to our house, making training so convenient and personalized. He even joined us for a session at our favorite bar to help train our pup in a real-world setting, which was exactly what we needed. Steven is kind, trustworthy, and an all-around great guy. We couldn’t recommend him more!

*Game Changing Dog Training* Steven Tallas, owner Venture Dog Training, worked miracles for me by teaching me the best training techniques for my dogs Millie and Gus to gain the confidence, trust and skills to live happier and calmer pooch lives. Mixed-Terrier Millie was rescued at 8 months-ish with a broken femur along with malnourishment by a Houston Good Samaritan. Consistency with her training has reduced her fear-based reactivity on leash by 95%, and night-time panic attacks plus fearful car rides by 100%. Now 3, Millie and I are happier and less stresed. Next, Labrador Retriever Gus came to me at 1 year from a foster-like situation where he had the freedom to run many acres. His farm-like upbringing along with high energy and anxiety made adaptation to urban life in Austin very challenging. Learning to walk on a leash was a major struggle for him; there was sooo much to see. Working with Steven has given me the training tools, knowledge and resources (consulting with a Behaviorist Veterinarian) to make leash walking possible and home life calmer. Now 2, Gus doesn't fight being on leash and doesn't get as so excited seeing people or dogs. He fully trusts me. Committing to training initially was hard for me because thought I knew what I was doing after raising dogs for years. Finally got that I needed new training skills specifically for Millie's and Gus' unique reactivite behaviors. Uncertain about theuseful of training for your dog or dogs, reach out to Steven Tallas, Venture Dog Training and learn why his training is a game changer.
