Testimonials
Steve has an amazing attitude and is very perceptive with dogs. He will work magic with your dog and take them to greater heights than you could have imagined.
– Rick Alto, IACP Board Member, Owner of Ex-Fed Dog Training
We are so glad we decided to go with Steve and Domestic Dog Training for our 2 year old dog, Maizie!! We chose to do a three week training course and Maizie is a new dog!! She is so much more obedient and less fearful than before she worked with Steve. Our ultimate goal is to be able to take her on off-leash adventures and Steve has set us up on that path! He’s so approachable and responsive and kept us updated with pictures and videos during her stay. He has also been incredibly helpful with follow up after her training with phone calls, FaceTime, and in person meetings to ensure we’re continuing her learning! I’ve already sent a few more dogs to Steve, and will continue to recommend him to anyone who thinks they may need it!!! Thanks again Steve for all your hard work!!!!

Steve is a magician when it comes to dogs who have less than desirable behavior. He was able to not only train the dog I had taken in but trained me, helping me to understand why dogs do what they do. Rosie now has a chance for a better, less stressful life thanks to Steve’s training.
