Steph is an excellent trainer! My dog Lily and I have taken 5 classes with her and it has changed Lily immensely. She was timid and scared of many things in the store, but absolutely fell in love with Steph and would do what ever Steph wanted her to do. And, Steph trained me how to train Lily.
Now, Lily is very confident and outgoing and can do many things. She is good at walking on the leash, she will come, do touch, stay, wait, leave it, and go to her bed and stay. She will stay at home by herself and not chew things up or bark. She can do center, and high five and fist bump, she can spin, walk backwards and bow!
She is now welcome in people’s homes because she is well behaved. I have taken her into stores, eaten at outside restaurants with her, taken her camping, stayed in hotels with her and she paddle boards with me.
It has changed mine and Lily’s relationship as she and I love to practice our skills, she is proud of herself, I have learned to be patient and calm and she responds with good behavior and a great attitude.
I am always recommending Steph to people I run into at the park and everywhere else. She is excellent at training and all of the dogs adore her.

This is a five-star rating for the Dog Training Service. The Alameda South Shore dog trainer, Steph, is nothing short of amazing. She is incredibly knowledgeable and patient; she’s personable and has a pure passion for the work she does. Steph’s training is completely based on principles of positive reinforcement, which I greatly appreciate because this strategy teaches my dog to be obedient without instilling fear, stress, or agitation. I would highly recommend Steph as a dog trainer for others. I’m beyond grateful for the time she spends and the love she has shown my pup.

My dog used to be not afraid of her nails getting cut. After visiting this Petco location, she is very traumatized by the nail clippers and doesn't let us cut her nails.
