Testimonials
Steve taught us and our dog how to give her commands that she will follow. She is now four years old and follows one word commands and is the best dog ever. The dogs owner has to work at it every day to make it work but Steve does a great job with you and your dog. I’d recommend him to anyone who gets a puppy especially if you never had a dog, like us. Libby is the most obedient dog and is a great watch dog. Thanks Steve you’re a great trainer.
