Dennis & Jeanne Mayers

After losing our beautiful, well behaved, five year old golden doddle Jazzie to cancer, we eventually decided that we had to bless our lives with another golden doddle. At 10 weeks old, we brought Finn into our lives. Over the next 9 months, Finn exhibited behavior which greatly concerned us…pulling hard on the leash, eating everything in his path, growling and snapping when we tried to get things out of his mouth and jumping/biting trying to get the leash to chew on during a walk. After many frustrating days, we knew we had to make a decision…let Finn move on or try to have him professionally trained. We love Finn and wanted to give him a chance. Through surfing the web, we found Steve Cohen/Tropical Dog Training in Bradenton, Fl. After a long phone conversation with Steve we decided to take the next step and visit his facility. We found Steve to be very knowledgeable and his facility very clean and professional. A few days later we arranged for Finn to be picked up and placed in his 3 week training program. Three weeks later, Finn was returned to us a new dog. Steve and Sarah spent almost 3 hours with us going through all steps of the training program to be continued. We were amazed with the Finn we got back. We can now greet guests at the front door while he sits patiently in place. He no longer gets up on the furniture or bed. He will drop objects that are not appropriate for him with just one command instead of growling and biting.

We truly couldn’t be happier with our new boy and would recommend Steve/Tropical Dog Training without hesitation to anyone.
