About
I love working with all breeds of dogs. I have nearly 20 years experience training, rescuing, rehabbing, and rehoming dogs of all breeds. My knowledge of dog (and cat) behavior is extensive and I take great pride in helping others learn as much as possible about their dogs. One of the big differences between myself and other trainers is that I will teach you how to manage your dog, not just train it to do sit and down. I also train and compete with my German Shepherds in a sport very similar to police dog work. It is a very demanding sport with three separate and distinct disciplines. I am a professional, educated, reliable person. My goal in helping you train your dog is so that you and your dog(s) can live a happy life together. In the end this will help to prevent more dogs from ending up homeless, or euthanized. I love working with dogs that others give up on. They always end up being the best dogs.

We are midway through our 4-session package and Steve has given us a number of invaluable tip that have made our lives easier and our dogs happier & healthier. I'm very glad that I invested in training for us humans in the guise of training for our puppies.

Steve has been an absolute godsend. Tomorrow is our fourth and final session. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Steve- he really is a dog whisperer and obviously cares about what he does. Thanks to Steve, my husband and I better understand how to communicate with our Leo and understand his body language. Worth every penny and then some. I highly recommend Steve’s services for obedience and behavior modification training.

Details: 1 dog • 2 - 10 years old • Extra large (70+ lbs) • Aggressive behavior modification • Barking • Biting • Private dog training lessons • I travel to the dog trainer

Steve is an excellent trainer. He explained my dogs thinking pattern and what I need to do in order to improve my relationship with my dogs.
