From puppies to problem behavior in Middlebury
Whether you have just brought home a puppy or you are dealing with aggression, anxiety or a dog who will not listen, Steve works out what your dog needs from the very first session. Sessions are one-on-one and cover exactly what your household needs.
The Middlebury Greenway is a great place to practice loose-leash walking with runners, bikes and other dogs around, and the area around Lake Quassapaug adds extra distractions once your dog is ready.

What Steve's clients say
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.
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.
