Training for Plantsville households

Plantsville sits on Steve’s doorstep, so sessions here are some of the easiest to book at short notice. That helps with the problems that need steady repetition, like leash pulling, jumping at the door and puppies who have not learned the rules of the house yet.

The Farmington Canal Heritage Trail and the quieter streets around Plantsville center are useful places to practise once your dog is ready, with joggers, cyclists and other dogs to work around at a distance your dog can handle.

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!

Plantsville dog training questions

Quick answers for Plantsville dog owners.

Yes. Plantsville is part of Southington, so it is a very short drive. Most training happens at your home, though for reactive or aggressive dogs, Steve may suggest meeting somewhere neutral first.
The first session is the Starting Point, $250 for about ninety minutes, covering a complete assessment and the start of training. Each follow-up session is $210 for an hour, and remote video sessions are $145.
Yes. Because Plantsville is so close to home for Steve, follow-ups can often be a few days apart, which keeps a dog moving forward while the new habits are still forming.
Leash pulling is one of the most common problems Steve works on, and it is very fixable. He teaches your dog what to do instead of pulling and gives you a clear, consistent way to handle the leash so walks become enjoyable again.
Usually within a few days, and often sooner in Plantsville. Book online or send Steve a message to see the next open times.
Yes. Milldale, Marion and the rest of Southington are all part of the same patch, and Steve trains across them every week.
