HOW IT WORKS

We offer a free, in-person evaluation (not just over the phone) because we really want to get know you, your dog, and your situation so we can know best how to help.

Welcome your dog back home with a new set of skills. We guide you through in-home sessions, ensuring a smooth transition and reinforcing the learned behaviors in not only your home, but out in public.
Continuted support
Once you're in the family, you're in the family. We are invested in your long-term success, offering tune-up sessions, social classes, and a supportive community.

For you and your dog! Lifestyle training helps your dog become more confident and adaptable, which ultimately leads to a better quality of life. A well-trained dog is more likely to be included in more activities and outings with their family. When dogs are well-behaved and can be taken out into public places, they are more likely to get exercise and social interaction.
Better Quality of Life
Why lifestyle training?
Lifestyle training strengthens the bond between you and your dog. When you teach your dog how to behave in different situations, it helps build trust and a deeper understanding between the two of you. It also makes your life together much smoother and enjoyable.
Improved Relationship Between You and Your Dog
A dog that is well-trained is much easier to enjoy and less stressful to have around. When your dog knows what's expected of them, it reduces the chances of them misbehaving, getting into trouble, or causing damage. This means less stress, embaressment, and frustration for you as the owner.
Easier to Manage and Less Stressful
"We can now enjoy our time together with our dog, without any stress. This training has made a huge difference in our lives as a family and we are so grateful for Steady Hand!”
- The Hayden Family
We are now able to bring her hiking, camping and to public places (ie. breweries!)
"but was immediately reassured and relieved when I received a photo of my pup snuggled up to Alexander. I met with them after the first week for our first session and noticed a difference right away.”
