We teach self control and eliminate any unwanted behaviors including: jumping, nipping, biting, barking, lunging, pulling on the leash, picking up dropped items and possible choking hazards, and of coarse running out of doorways. This lesson sets your dog up to be off leash around distractions and temptations, without being bothersome or getting into any mischief.

Get to Know The Dogman Himself
Hello dog world! My name is Steve and I’m a certified dog trainer now servicing your area for all your training and dog behavior needs. Allow me to help guide you and your dog down the right path to a more positive and understanding relationship one paw at a time.
Training dogs and shaping behaviors for 10 years now. I’ve worked with multiple breeds of all ages, sizes, and a wide variety of temperaments. I started out volunteering at a local humane society and it soon turned into my passion, wanting to help dogs find their forever homes. With the feeling I got from being able to help the dogs, I knew this was my calling.
Over the years I’ve worked with three different Humane Societies, helping dogs get their Canine Good Citizen certifications. While working with these dogs, I studied under a master dog trainer and professional dog training consultant whom also founded his own non-profit organization: Dogs Helping Heroes. I helped train shelter dogs for this non-profit to become service dogs for soldiers with PTSD. We trained for stability, mobility, and emotional support. I also trained therapy dogs under his guidance as well.
I’ve become very skilled in confidence building with fearful dogs, aggression management and self-control, handling manners (for safety), and unwanted behaviors as well as basic and advanced obedience. I’m totally committed to helping you find the best way to communicate with your dog and have a stronger bond through training.
