Steven James

Certified Dog Behaviorist/Trainer

Hi! I’m Steven James, Dog Behaviorist and I’d love to help you have the courteous, calm, and amazing dog you deserve. 

I’ve loved dogs all of my life. As a kid, our family had several breeds over the years. As an adult, my love for dogs grew stronger. Over the years I have worked with a lot of breeds in several countries, including my own pets. I’ve also worked as a high school science teacher, so I’ve been naturally curious about how dogs think, and the best ways to train. That’s what led me to becoming a certified professional.  

With my expert guidance and support, you can overcome any training challenges you may be facing and enjoy a happy, healthy relationship with your dog for years to come.

The problems

Do you want to keep your dog from jumping up on people, or from barking excessively, pulling on the lead, being aggressive, mouthing, or even getting under your feet in the kitchen? I can help. And, with this method, your dog(s) will more easily learn how to sit, stay, wait, roll over, fetch, high-five, and a host of other behaviors.

The Pack Leadership Method

How This Method Works:

My method uses scientific, modern brain-based behavior modification using operant conditioning to teach your dog how to be a calm, courteous member of your family. I help you to understand how your dog(s) think and why they behave the way they do. Then, not only will you see an immediate change, but I’ll give you the tools and knowledge to ensure you’ll enjoy a lifetime of peace and joy with your dog.

There’s a reason for hope.

You and your dog(s) can enjoy a wonderful, long life together. And isn’t it great that this can happen at a price far less than many others charge just to teach your dog a few tricks but doesn’t address the whole nature of your dog?

Client Testimonials

I was ready to give up!
Oh my goodness, we are so thankful for all the insight that Steve gave to us in regards to our dogs. So helpful and has helped boost my confidence with our rescue dog LeeLoo. I was ready to give up on her but was amazed at how gentle she was under Steve’s command. I recommend him completely for you and your dog. Thanks Steve
Time and Money Well Spent! Sadie and I had a great time with Steve! It was fun to watch her respond to his calm approach, and to see her progress in the time he was here! It was amazing! We are well on our way to strengthening the bond we already have, and to having a well-behaved dog that everyone can enjoy. This was time and money well spent; the knowledge and experience Steve carries with him is irreplaceable. I’m very happy with our experience!
I definitely feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel because our oldest dog has never been good with interacting with many dogs, especially other males. Just being able to have them within a few feet of eachother in the same room was such great progress. I’m looking forward to additional training with Steve and I so highly recommend him!

Amazing growth
“Amazing experience! Steve is great and gave us such amazing foundational work! We have an adult Great Pyrenees who was adopted at 3, so we were unsure where to start with him. We’re already seeing amazing growth in our dog as Steve taught us ways to calm his nerves and create a healthy family dynamic for him. Would definitely recommend Steve!”
More Than the Dog
“He explained everything so I could understand it. He assists along the way, he really focuses on training the handler and not just the dog!”
Saved!
What a neat experience! We took our very traumatized rescue dog for observation behavior analysis. We were ready have “Jessy” put down. Needless to say a month since seeing Steve, Jessy is still with us and is a well-behaved, calm pet. Steve helped us change or behaviors in dealing w/Jess and behavior improved accordingly. 5 STARS!!!!
