When I called I spoke with Steve (twice lol) our 6 month old American lab puppy Skipper is energetic and smart. Steve had Adam come do our training and I can honestly say that if I had the opportunity to add more stars to our review I would. Adam is amazing after the first training we saw a difference. Adam also worked with us and our 4 boys not only in training but also going as far as to meet us at one of our local trails that we go on to train. The best experience hands down. For the price it was worth every penny for the improvements we have seen and the education we received from Adam.

Before Steve and Tropical Dog Training, we were "that dog" in the neighborhood. The dog that everyone would avoid on walks because she was so reactive and maniacal to everything! Squirrels, people, dogs, cars, you name it! If it moved, she went after it!! Walks gave everyone in our family anxiety. After only 3 sessions with Steve, our dog walking world has changed completely!! I literally just finished a walk around the block with our dog, and a neighbor with her dog SIDE BY SIDE on the street! Our dog had a calm demeanor, and we can walk her with confidence! She has also learned other commands that make her a much more pleasant dog to live with. Thank you Steve!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Tropical Dog Training! From the very first session, their dedication, patience, and professionalism truly stood out. Working with two energetic French Bulldog puppies can be a handful, but they approached every lesson with positivity and calm, always taking the time to make sure both my dogs and I were comfortable and confident. Their positive e-forcement training made such a difference for both my puppies and me. Each session was thoughtfully designed and built on our progress step by step. The trainers were incredibly patient and always took extra time to focus on the areas where we needed the most help. I especially appreciated their guidance with walking my dogs in public — their tips and techniques gave me the confidence and control I was hoping for. Thanks to their guidance, training has become an enjoyable and rewarding experience. I would highly recommend Tropical Dog Training to anyone looking for a patient, knowledgeable, and caring team who truly loves what they do.

Does Your Dog Listen at Home — But Not Out in the Real World?

🚫 Pulling on the leash — every walk turns into a tug-of-war

🚫 Jumping on people — embarrassing with guests or strangers

🚫 Ignoring commands around distractions — listens at home, tunes out everywhere else

🚫 Poor recall — won’t come back when it matters most

🚫 Overexcitement — can’t calm down around people, dogs, or new places

🚫 Difficulty settling down — always “on,” never relaxed

Your dog doesn’t need more commands. It needs to actually use the ones it already knows — even when real life gets in the way. A dog that listens on the walk, at the door, around other dogs and distractions.

Here’s how we get you there:

1 — TEACH
We introduce the behavior clearly, using reward-based methods your dog actually understands — not just repetition.

2 — PRACTICE
We build reliability by practicing in real environments — not just a quiet living room — so the behavior holds up outside the house.

3 — PROOF
Your dog performs the behavior consistently around the distractions of everyday life: other dogs, people, traffic, excitement — the moments that actually matter

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer a free evaluation?

We don’t do in-person evaluations, but every new client starts with a free phone consultation. We’ll talk through your dog’s behavior, your goals, and whether our program is the right fit — no pressure, no obligation.

Puppies are trained using positive reinforcement only while they’re still developing. For dogs over 6 months, we introduce a remote training collar as part of our Positive E-Forcement method — combining reward-based teaching with clear, fair communication for faster, more reliable results around real-world distractions.

The average number of lessons to present the lesson materials is 3 to 4, two-hour lessons and unlimited follow-up support after that.

Yes — about 20–30 minutes a day. We do the heavy lifting during sessions, but consistent short practice at home is what makes the training stick.

All programs include unlimited follow-up. If something isn’t sticking or a new behavior pops up later, you can reach out and we’ll help you work through it.
