Dog training in Bristol, CT
In-home dog training in Bristol, Connecticut. Private sessions built around your dog’s personality and your household’s routine, from a trainer based right next door in Southington.
Personal, one-on-one dog training with Steve.
What Bristol dog owners call about
Bristol has everything from compact city streets to homes with big, open yards, and training needs vary just as much. Steve helps with recall and yard boundaries, leash walking in busier areas, and puppies who need a good start, always working in your home so the lessons match your space.
Rockwell Park and Page Park are good places to practice around other people and dogs once your dog is ready. Recall work usually starts in your own yard and moves out to more open spaces step by step.

What Steve's clients say
Steve is training us (humans) how our dogs understand commands, body posture, voice tone, and how they need to process what we are asking them to do. Learning these skills is extremely helpful in gaining positive results. Steve makes the learning experience very clear and also rewarding. Highly recommended!
We couldn’t be happier with the training our dog received! From the very first session, it was clear that Steve is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about both dogs and their owners. Our dog has made tremendous progress in obedience, confidence, and overall behavior. The training methods were easy to follow and produced amazing results. We highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer.
We worked with Steve on a bunch of areas for our 11-month-old dog, Cooper: jumping, leash manners, recall, and some confidence-building exercises. We genuinely saw progress across the board. Steve is clearly passionate about dogs and really knows his stuff. We saw quick progress in Cooper after applying Steve's training methods, and we'd recommend Steve's services. Thanks again.
