In-home training across Berlin

Berlin sits right next to Southington, which makes it easy for Steve to fit sessions around work schedules, including evenings and weekends. Whether your dog is pulling, jumping on guests or struggling when left alone, sessions are built around the way your household really runs.

Neighborhood streets in Kensington and East Berlin are good for early leash practice, while the trails at Ragged Mountain give a confident dog a real outdoor challenge once the foundations are in place.

Steve took our barky little dog Rosie and turned her into a (quiet) star in one lesson! He explained to us what we were inadvertently teaching her and how to turn it around. Last evening I walked her down our street and meeting with a neighbor stood and chatted for almost an hour. Rose did not bark once as people on motorbikes, on foot and in cars passed by. As a matter of fact, she lay down on the grass after a while! Steve, you are our hero!

We didn’t know what to do. We hired Steve for an aggression issue and some basic commands for our small dog who is not food driven. In just 2 sessions we see a huge improvement and we have learned the skills needed to continue her training. Steve is knowledgeable and effective and my husband and I would highly recommend his services.

We are so thankful we found Steve Good Dog to train us and our rescue dog Itsy. He's helped us to understand how Itsy thinks, and what he needs to live his best life with us. Steve is extremely knowledgeable and clearly loves dogs. His recommendations bring great results. It seems dog training is more of a calling for him, than a job. We strongly recommend Steve with the highest degree of confidence.
