"We knew we had a problem on our hands, when we couldn't take our 10 month old German
Shepherd puppy anywhere without an aggressive outburst toward everyone and every dog
we passed. We had virtually memorized the dog psychology shows on TV, followed our vets
advice, read books, even paid for private lessons with a local "specialist" on canine
aggression. All for nothing. We were on the verge of giving up our hopes of having a
friendly, sociable dog.

After our first private lesson with Steve, our attitude and outlook changed
dramatically.
There was finally a light at the end of the tunnel! After our very first group
lesson, it was like we had a completely different dog on our hands. And now, after a couple
months of group classes, you would never know that aggression was a problem. Besides
overcoming the aggression, we now get compliments from other dog owners on how
amazingly well behaved our dog is. Thank you so much Steve, you've enriched our lives
immensely."

"I have watched literally hundreds of Steve's classes and have been amazed at the
transformation from difficult or temperamental dogs to attentive, obedient pets. Whether it is
a ten pound pup or a huge Rottweiller, Steve gives each dog the individual attention it needs
in a gentle but firm manner. He knows how to get results without undermining the animals
self-confidence. He helps develop a loving bond of mutual respect between the dog and its
family. In over twenty years in the animal business,
I consider Steve the best trainer I
have ever worked with."
June Mackie, Owner

"We adopted a Chihuahua puppy who refused to walk on a leash or sit still. After reading all
the dog books in our library, I decided to look into obedience classes. I called each person in
the phone book... After dismal phone interviews with all the other trainers, I gave Steve a
call. We spoke at length... I liked everything this gentle man had to say. We watched one of
his classes.
I was amazed at how the dogs responded to Steve. Here was a caring
man who seemed to have a special relationship with each dog and owner.
We gave
it a try, and have been thrilled with the results. Steve came to our house for our first lesson,
our puppy was walking on a leash in minutes!! I was amazed at how much time he took with
us. If you have a toy-breed and are worried about a trainer who can relate to your special
needs, you don't have to look any further then Mr. Steve..."

"I wish to take the time to thank you for all that you have done to make my life what it is
today. I now have the independence along with the security to carry on with my life. Enrolled
in college and doing extremely well with the aid of my guide dog Brina. There is no way that I
would have been able to do this without your expertise. With Brina, I am able to go anywhere
at anytime without fear. Along with the expert training of Brina you have built my self-esteem.
You have touched more than the heart of a dog. You have supported me always and
touched the heart of the owner. Thank you always for your training and support..."

"I was introduced to Steve in 1986 when I acquired a German Shepard that came with
professional training..., so I and my staff had worked directly with Steve.  I found Steve to be
a very capable, patient, and effectual trainer.  Since that time I have referred numerous
clients to him for training and especially and most important the problem cases.  He has
been very successful and well accepted by the clients.  I consider Steve an excellent
professional trainer..."

"My family came to you almost 14-1/2 years ago with our new white lab puppy Holly.  You
came to our home first, and before you came, you asked us to make a list of everything Holly
did that drove us nuts, both big and small, and you answered each concern with wonderful
advice.  My husband, 4 year-old daughter and I attended evening classes together.  Holly
became such a wonderful family pet.  
We could walk her anywhere without a leash, she
had impeccable manners, and she was just the sweetest dog we've ever had.  She
was a wonderful companion to our children, and everyone loved her.
 Holly passed
away last summer at 14-1/2 years old, and it broke our hearts.  Her absence has left a huge
void, and we have finally decided to start thinking about getting another puppy.  I want our
next dog to be trained as well as Holly was...  Please let me know if you can help us train our
next dog.  We had the best results with K-9, and told all our friends about you when they
commented on how well behaved our Holly was".
