Testimonials
I had an aggressive and reactive 3yo German Shepard that I just couldn’t get a handle on, barking like crazy, got out of my mom’s grip when trying to walk around other people and dogs. After meeting Steve, he was a different dog in a matter of minutes. His training methods are simple and effective, he’s very honest and informative with how he helps train not only the dog but yourself as well. Within an hour and a half visit to my home, he has helped me learn how to get a handle on my dog and have a much more enjoyable life for not only me, but the dog as well. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with Steve and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone to help train their dog!

I have an American Bully, Steve has helped my dog have a brand new personality. From the 1st to the last visit my dog has improved tremendously. Steve is very down to Earth & tries to help you get the best personal results you are wanting for your dog. Through his techniques & daily training I did after my dog has been wonderful! Thanks again Steve for the great training and time you took to help me reach my dog & correct my own owner behaviors!
– Client
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Steve! The training skills we learned as owners and his ability to connect with the dog immediately were outstanding. That alone was well worth the money! To make it better: we set some goals (walking beside us properly and not jumping on people) from the beginning and accomplished major improvements after only 2 visits! So, we were able to move on to other types of training for the rest of the sessions! Something else I’d like to point out that sets Steve apart from other trainers… he listens to your story and truly cares about accomplishing your goals. Before finding Steve, we called around to many dog trainers all over Louisville, and every one told us that my standard poodle, who already had all the basics down and had been solcialized, needed to start in a kindergarten class. But Steve was the first trainer we talked to that actually listened to our story, listened to what we wanted out of hiring a Trainer. I would recommend him to anyone!!!

About the Trainer
Steve is a dog trainer who provides in-home training services to help dog owners manage and improve their dogs’ behavior. He works with dogs of all ages, including puppies, adolescents, and adults, and specializes in addressing aggression, reactivity, leash pulling, jumping, barking, and behavior issues in deaf dogs. Steve focuses on training both the dog and the owner, emphasizing practical, hands-on techniques that continue beyond his visits. He listens to each client’s unique story and tailors his approach to meet specific goals, such as walking calmly beside the owner or preventing jumping on guests. His methods are described as simple, effective, and honest, with noticeable improvements often seen after just one or two sessions. He also involves children in training sessions to ensure safe, consistent handling at home.
Steve has helped owners of German Shepherds, American Bullies, Standard Poodles, and Boston Terriers, demonstrating experience with a wide range of breeds and behavioral challenges. He is praised for his patience, responsiveness, and ability to connect with dogs immediately. Clients note that he is the only trainer they found who truly listened to their needs rather than pushing generic classes.
He does not offer group classes, boarding, or facility-based training—his services are exclusively in-home. He also provides follow-up support and encourages daily practice by owners to maintain progress.
How to Get Started!
Owners contact Steve directly to schedule an in-home visit. He responds quickly, often coming the next day, and begins with an assessment of the dog’s behavior and the owner’s goals.
