I've had two lessons with Steve, both of which were highly successful. On the first lesson, Oreo was walking and interacting with him alone and at the end of the second lesson, she was eating treats from his hand. Of course, you will not have these issues with a puppy, however, to me, it demonstrates his calm and patient character, which dogs are sensitive to, as well as his extensive knowledge and experience. The fact that he was willing to take her on speaks volumes.

In all my interactions with Steve, he has always taken more than enough time to educate me about why, answer my questions, and even provide me with additional resources. Steve can teach and guide us but we are ultimately the ones who must maintain pack leader position. It's nice to have a kind and supportive person on the journey.

So yes, you're in good hands.

All the best,
Kathleen

I highly recommend Steve, I had an a dog with an aggressive issue and with Steve's guidance and our consistent training I feel like I have a new dog.
I think you will find him and his training techniques in a positive manner and know your puppy will be in good hands.

Best of luck!

Steve,
Ludo is doing great and we are constantly singing your praises and sharing your contact info. At our neighborhood dog park, his nickname is "The Valedictorian" because he is one of the only dogs that will listen to our commands even while in the middle of playing with other dogs. We are always being stopped by people who ask how old he is, and are shocked to know he is only a puppy because of his obedient behavior. We just filmed him the other day doing obedience work and tricks to show our families back in Naples. He is now six months old but he has been listening to us ever since our first session at 12 weeks old. Brian and I are always saying how much more fun and enjoyable Ludo is now that we know how to work with him. We are now looking for avenues to highlight Ludo's trainability such as agility or flyball. He is an asset to our lives, not a source of stress and frustration, thanks to you!
