We contacted a Steve to help us with our dog that was showing aggression and was fearful. Steve met with us and took the time to understand the issues. He also worked with us to explain what we needed to change to better establish ourselves as the leader with our dog. He is very patient. I was impressed with how he worked with our dog and gained his trust using his techniques. We are already putting these tools in place ourselves and although I know this process will take time I am hopeful that with Steve’s help we will get to our goals for our dog. More...

Steven was truly wonderful to work with! He was extremely prompt on answering our request for our Pitbull Ghost even after his office was closed for the evening! Which was so appreciated! He took the time to answer my questions not only through email but on the phone that evening as well. He arrived promptly on time for our 10am appt and really took his time to introduce himself and explain not only his philosophies but the reason behind them. We really like that his methods are all very positive, low impact, and stress-free for our dog. He was extremely thorough and professional and so we immediately signed up for 2 extra sessions! We look forward to working with Steve for the lifetime of our sweet Ghost! You rock Steve!!! More...

Time and money well spent. Big difference in the dogs behavior after just one session.

Wonderful learning experience for me. I especially love that Steve does not encourage to train by fear or pain because as he stated "what kind of relationship would that be? ". I can't believe the change in my dog by using the strategies he taught me. Very satisfied and worth it to reach our goal of being able to include our Shepard mix in more outdoor activities. More...

We’re so grateful for Steve’s help! We needed to curb the biting and jumping of our adorable but rowdy puppy before we welcomed our first child in 6 weeks. Steve came over and gently showed us we were unknowingly teaching her some bad habits. After just a couple hours she was calmer with us and more confident on walks. His tips are easy to implement and are already proving to be a life saver. Absolutely recommend! More...

Steve was great. We had just adopted a two month German Shepherd pup (about 3 months at the time of training) and we had questions about how to ensure we trained her properly at an early age. We also have an 8 year old Pomapoo who is a good dog but needed to be retrained in some ways so that we could set the example of being the ones in charge for both dogs. Steve responded quickly and was able to fit us in for our preferred date/time. It was so nice having him come to the house because we could apply techniques to real live things we were experiencing. He spent a ton of time with us and worked with both dogs. He also had some great suggestions on training leashes/harnesses. They’ve made a huge difference on our walks. More...

I contacted him on a Thursday night, he called me the following day, and the day after we had an appointment schedule. The organization of scheduling was quick and very easy! His five rules are amazing and he explained them thoroughly. He spent ample time with us. We've been following his rules and I can already see my pup improving! His idea on dog training is logical and easy. Would recommend to anyone looking for a dog trainer. More...

My son contacted Steve because he was leaving for deployment and my husband and I were taking care of his dog for 6 months. I admit, I was worried about this obligation and responsibility.Steve arrived eager to help provide guidance and structure to our new “family”. He systematically demonstrated and explained how to handle ALL of our dog concerns. He was totally engaged with the training and provided valuable insight about canine behaviors and mannerisms.I highly recommend Steve’s service to anyone who desires more discipline and positive behaviors from his or her dogs. You will become a happier and more confident dog caretaker!. More...

I was eager to get off on the right foot with my newly adopted dog and Steve came highly recommended from the rescue organization. Steve is professional and compassionate towards both dog and owner and was able to give me a timely appointment. I like the implementation of a home visit to help me understand how my dog relates to the home environment and ways to deal with some of the inherent challenges and take advantage of the areas of value. He helped me reinforce some of my own helpful behaviors and provide feedback on those that are less helpful as I interact with my dog. Steve also provides a very good, intuitive lifestyle structure / rules to live by for me to work on with my dog. All of the work is up to me an my dog over the long term, I feel confident that we are off to a good start because of Steve's guidance. I am already starting to see subtle but important changes after only a few days. More...

We brought Steve in to help us with our 11 week old border collie mix and our 7 year old pug mix. He helped us so much with their individual habits, and also with maintaining good behavior together. It was wonderful to have him in our home to see them in their usual space, and he even went for a walk with the pug to address his distractions. We had a few follow up questions after and Steve was very quick to give us additional help. More...

The very first step to hiring Steve is to admit knowing when to need help. I recently adopted a second dog who had a difficult past. No surprise, because of her past, she has raised some tensions between her and everyone in my life. This is where Steve came in. I broke down the night before he arrived and he assured me that there is hope and it is possible. When Steve arrived, he actively listened to my concerns and provides ample information for me to apply on the dogs. At the end, he reassured me that with practice and consistency, the two dogs can get along and resume their role as companions. More...

Steve had the challenge of working with two dogs at a time, each with his/her own issues. In just a few days, the older dog has lost her habit of barking at us for a variety of reasons. While we realize it will take time, and our own perseverance, to help the younger pup learn how to not be fearful and let us be the pack leaders, Steve gave us the tools and encouragement to succeed. I’ve used 3 other dog training organizations in the Valley and he is the only one I would recommend to others. I have already recommend him to two friends. More...

Steve is the absolute best! Piggy came into our house & was starting to try to "run the show". With having a 2 year old, Nate & I decided some training was very necessary. Steve came in, explained our habits that needed to change so Piggy would know who was boss & since that day piggy has improved so much! Evie was very leery of the Pig, but every day they get more & more used to one another. Piggy knows not to be too aggressive with her love & that Evie is boss. And Evie knows her boundaries with piggy as well. THANK YOU SO MUCH STEVE! Evie now loves on "my giggy" and will even sit with her without crying. If you need some help with your dog of any age definitely call Steve! More...

Steve was so excellent. He came out on extremely short notice and spent hours with me and my dog, going over not just what to do to train her but why each training tool/technique was important for my dog's safety and wellbeing, as well as the whole family and neighborhood. I would never have realized how many behaviors I was exhibiting that were giving my dog the wrong message, and thanks to Steve we are well on our way to a happier and calmer doggie life! I feel confident that I know how to handle my dog's behavior, and better yet I know how to behave around her to make sure she knows she is safe and cared for. I am so grateful. More...

I have 2 male french bulldogs - who were showing signs of aggression towards each other. Found Steve on thumbtack - and i couldn't be more grateful First -he agreed to come during off hours (which is when my dogs act up). Second - he scheduled us in so school. Third - within minutes of meeting our dogs, who assessed the situation, and immediately started working with all of us (dogs and humans alike). Two days into working his program you could feel and see a change! I wouldn't hesitate to hire or invite him into our home again! More...

Steve came to work with my chocolate Labrador Daisy Mae today and he was amazing. Daisy was happy to meet him and she responded so well to him. Steve sat with me first to tell me his philosophy on dog training and to go over his 5 Golden rules. He was so good at explaining everything and wanted to make sure I was comfortable with everything. He brought copies of the 5 Golden Rules for me and extra for family members. We put every rule into practice and then worked on some issues specific to Daisy. He spent so much time making sure we were both getting it and at no time did I feel rushed. He gave me his phone # and email so we could stay in touch. I really saw improvement in Daisy after he left. I highly recommend Steve and Curiosity Satisfied Dog Camp to everyone who wants their dog to be their very best! More...
