Training built for Watertown dogs

From Oakville neighborhoods to more rural roads around town, Watertown dogs deal with a real mix of settings. Steve helps with the everyday problems that come with that, including pulling, chasing, jumping on visitors and puppies who need structure, working in your home so the plan fits your space.

Black Rock State Park is a good place to practice once your dog is ready for trails, water and other hikers, and quieter back roads are useful for building steady leash walking before that.

We highly recommend Steve! He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about helping both dogs and their owners succeed. He has helped us build structure, obedience, and better communication with our dog, and we’ve already seen a big improvement in behavior and responsiveness. Steve takes the time to explain the training process and makes it easy to apply. If you’re looking for a professional, caring, and effective dog trainer, Steve is an excellent choice.

Steve took our barky little dog Rosie and turned her into a (quiet) star in one lesson! He explained to us what we were inadvertently teaching her and how to turn it around. Last evening I walked her down our street and meeting with a neighbor stood and chatted for almost an hour. Rose did not bark once as people on motorbikes, on foot and in cars passed by. As a matter of fact, she lay down on the grass after a while! Steve, you are our hero!

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.

Yes. Chasing is driven by strong instincts, so the work is about building impulse control and a reliable recall. Steve starts at home and in your yard, then adds distractions gradually, and makes sure you have safe management in place while your dog learns.
