One-on-one training in Newington

Newington is close to Hartford and comfortably inside Steve’s service area, so getting on the schedule is straightforward. Sessions focus on the problems you are actually living with, whether that is a puppy who will not settle, a dog who pulls every walk, or barking that bothers the neighbors.

Mill Pond Park is a nice spot to practice once your dog is ready for new surroundings, and walks along busier roads near the Berlin Turnpike are a good test of calm leash manners around traffic.

What Steve's clients say

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.

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.
