WHAT ARE CLIENTS SAY

TESTIMONIALS

Quality Service Matters

“We have a 4 1/2 month old chocolate lab that was out of control, biting,  barking and always on a high level of excitement. After the FIRST visit with Steve, our puppy was so much more calm.  I couldn’t believe the difference in him.  His training is so much more than puppy classes. He comes to our house for a one on one training in our environment for the first few sessions and takes you to the dog park so that your pup gets trained in different environments.   Amazing how well behaved our dog is now.  Highly recommend Steve.”

Your pets deserve the best

I’m Steve, and I’ve been training service dogs for many years. I’ve decided to take my personal training to the private owner. I take a respect – oriented approach when working with dogs and their owners to apply confidence, obedience training, and fix behavior issues.

 

 Training a dog is easy it’s training the owners to be consistent that’s challenging. That’s why I offer an affordable, lighthearted training regimen to all dog owners.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What will my dog learn?
A basic obedience class is more than sit and stay. Manners are important, but a beginner dog obedience class can help your pup learn about interacting with other dogs and people in addition to the many lessons on good behavior. Additionally, your dog is not the only one who will benefit from class; one of the goals of an obedience class is to hone your own training know-how with the help of your trainer.
Every breed can benefit from obedience lessons. Some more then others. If any of these apply to you then I would consider giving us a call. ☑ Taking your dog for a walk is a war meets workout ☑ Your dog suffers from separation anxiety ☑ Your dog tends to jump on people ☑ Your dog is destructive ☑ You've adopted and may not know it's past ☑ Non-stop barking ☑ They do not obey any type of commands
Yes! Aggressive behaviors can be managed and reduced with the proper steps in place. The sooner you acknowledge the problem the better.
Normally with group classes you are with 10 other dogs. With private in home lessons, the attention is focused only on your dog. The first 3-4 lessons are distraction free and designed to build a foundation. Once the skills are obtained, then we embrace all different distractions that are faced in everyday life. This allows for a custom plan to be designed of desired outcomes you want for your dog taking into account their skill level and learning speed.
Training consists of 10 lessons for the complete package. This provides a good amount of time to work on basic manners and training. Keep in mind though every dog is different; breed (some may be more calm or excitable than others), age, and prior training should all be taken into consideration when setting expectations for your dog. Practice is also very important! If you’re working with your dog only once per week, but not reinforcing those skills you won’t be seeing the results you expect. The skills you learn at class should be applied daily: practice at home, at the dog park, or while you’re walking.
