Confidence-building training in Cromwell

Cromwell is a straightforward drive from Southington, so scheduling is usually flexible. Whether your dog is nervous, pushy or just untrained, Steve works in your home to understand what is driving the behavior and gives you clear, practical steps to change it.

Neighborhood walks make a good starting point for leash practice, and paths near the Connecticut River add new sights and smells once your dog is ready for more.

Steve is an excellent trainer. He is patient, kind and really understands dog behavior as well as how the owners behavior effects your dog. I would highly recommend him for any type of training your dog may need.

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.

Highly recommended! Forest is a 9-month old, 55 lb muscular rescue pittie and cattle dog mix. Our immediate issues were jumping on people, not allowing space, leash pulling to the point of shoulder injury to me, and coming when called. THEN Steve Good Dog to the rescue. Steve has trained the adults in our household to be the ones the dogs look to for permission. Forest now walks on a loose leash, gets off furniture when told and is learning how to greet visitors (work in progress—actually everything is and requires us to be vigilant with training). Every day training has become our model. Yes, it’s costly but the rewards are worth it to have this professional man teaching us how to turn Forest into a great dog.

Cromwell dog training questions

What Cromwell dog owners usually ask first.

Usually, yes. Most sessions happen at your house in Cromwell. Training where your dog lives means you learn to handle the real situations you face every day. For reactive or aggressive dogs, Steve may suggest meeting somewhere neutral first.
The first visit is the Starting Point session, $250 for roughly an hour and a half including a full assessment and training. Follow-up sessions are $210 per hour and remote video sessions are $145.
Yes. Fearful dogs need patience and a plan that goes at their pace. Steve helps you build your dog’s confidence with small, positive steps at home, so new people and places slowly become less scary.
That usually comes down to unclear boundaries and inconsistent rules. Steve helps the whole household agree on simple, consistent rules and teaches your dog what to do instead, so good behavior becomes the easy choice.
Steve trains seven days a week and can usually get to Cromwell within a few days. Book online or send Steve a message.
