Hi my name is Steve. I live in the Northwest suburbs and I've been training dogs and walking dogs for the past 10 years.I have experience caring for dogs of any size, age, breed or temperament. With my professional dog training background I will be glad to help you have better walks with your dog as well as help with any behavior problems you may be having. I have two Beagles at home that are my best friends and I look forward to meeting your best friends and taking them for many great walks!
I grew up with a schnauzer named "Murphy," and now am the proud owner of two Border Terriers, Otis and Teddie. Despite the fact that Otis is a bit older, while Teddie is a 1yr old pup, I love to get outside with both of them as much as possible.
"Michael was very friendly and didn’t mind when my young lab jumped on him upon arrival! I would definitely have him walk Sheeba again!"
"Steve has been absolutely fantastic with Bella! He has been working with her during walks so she doesn't pull so much. Bella has shown drastic improvement since walking with Steve in only one week! I can't rave enough about him....Steve is awesome! Thank you!!! -Candice"
