Good, work in progress with Daisy
- Trevor SWorking with Steven for our dog Darcy's reactive barking & fear of strangers was worth every penny. We saw an immediate beneficial change in her behavior and with continued practice, we've seen her confidence grow. His teaching style is fun and his passion for positive training is so appreciated. If needed, we would not hesitate to work with Steven again. - Austin, TX
- Katherine TI met Steven after he was referred by the veterinary behaviorist I work with on my anxious and easily agitated dog Eddy. Steven did a very thorough assessment of the current situation with my dog and then met with us in person several times. He was incredibly helpful and gave me lots of homework that I continue to use to this day. I've recommended him to several people and he's on my preferred dog trainer list that I provide to all my pet sitting clients. - Cedar Park, Texas
