Personal, one-on-one dog training with Steve.
Training for Farmington households
Farmington dogs get more space than most, and that brings its own problems. Bigger yards and quiet roads make recall the thing owners ask about most, closely followed by dogs who pull toward wildlife or ignore you the moment something moves in the treeline.
The Farmington River Trail and the paths around Unionville are good places to prove the work once it is solid at home, with cyclists, joggers and plenty of scent to compete with your voice.

What Steve's clients say
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.
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.
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!
