I am easy to get along with by both owners and their pets. Animals have a keen sense and they love me. I have experience dealing with dogs and will give you many tools to help understand how to train your dog to be playful, obedient, and smart. I have even trained my cat to go outside with the dogs and I and then come back in with no use of leashes at all for any of them!!

Carole D. says, "I run the Saint Bernard rescue for southern California and I have been taking my rescues to Steve Welch (SW Canine Rehab, Inc.) for over 15 years for training and boarding. He has trained many of our dogs that had severe behavioral issues. After completing their training they where all successfully adopted into great homes. I currently have 3 Saints with Steve and I have spent several hours watching him work all the dogs in his care with love and compassion. His place is a green facility plus it's the quietest and cleanest facility I have ever seen and I have been to several kennels over the years of doing rescue. So if you have a dog that needs training or boarding I highly recommend Steve Welch." Read more

I love pets! Especially dogs! I love to play with them, love them, pet them, walk with them, take awesome care of them, and teach them lots of tricks! I have been told by many people in my life that they have never seen their dog do the things that they do with me, like being very acceptable of me and wagging their tail and curling up to me and giving super cute head gestures and making cute sounds and doing special little tricks.... it’s because they sense how much I love them and they trust me and are very comfortable around me and very excited to see me once they know me. I’m looking for housesitting jobs to love and care for your dogs/pe...

I come with the dog training. I come with the dog psychology. I’ve been training dogs most of my life. From when I had dogs as a child growing up in the Bronx, New York. Once I found out that most dogs end up in shelters and rescues because of behavioral problems this is why I bececame a professional dog trainer. It does not matter the size or age of your dog, or what issues, problems are. Does your dog bark nonstop? Does your dog walk you? Is your dog aggressive towards other dogs or anyone in its path? Does your dog jump on you or anyone that comes into your own, or anyone that comes to visit? Is your dog food aggressive? Does your dog obey...

Your Dog Training questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

Professional dog training costs $30 to $50 per group class and $45 to $120 per private session. Dog obedience training schools cost $200 to $600 per week, and boot camp kennel training costs $500 to $1,250 per week. Get exact prices by contacting affordable dog trainers near you.

Local dog trainers teach dogs basic obedience, behavioral modification, agility, personal protection or guarding, emotional support, therapy or service dog training, show dog handling, puppy training, trick training, hunting training, police dog or K9 training, and other types.

Certified dog trainers offer group classes, private lessons, or come to your home for one-on-one training. The best in-home dog trainers also teach the owner how to train commands, use body language, and offer proper reinforcement guidance. Many dog trainers use positive reinforcement, which uses a reward (treats, praise, toys) for desired behaviors.

Puppies 7 to 8 weeks of age begin to learn basic obedience commands such as “sit,” “stay,” “stand,” and “down.” Professional dog training traditionally starts at 6 months old. By delaying training, behavioral patterns learned during puppyhood likely take longer to change.

Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks! Dogs can learn and be trained at any age. Older dogs have more self-control and are easier to train than young puppies. Continuing to train your dog as it matures is also important to help keep their mind sharp.

Private dog training helps correct your dog’s behavior, aggression, anxiety, socialization skills, and teaches them a commands list in a timely and cost-effective manner. Common commands dogs learn quickly are to stay, heel, and roll over.

Professional dog training is valuable because it teaches your dog not to jump or bite, to stop barking, to stay in the yard off-leash, potty training, to use a dog door, not to pull on a leash, hand signals, and much more.

The easiest dog breeds to train are an Australian Shepherd, Corgi, Bearded or Border Collie, Poodle, Miniature Schnauzer, Labrador, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, and a Doberman Pinscher. Female canines of all breeds are also easier to train and housebreak.

The hardest dogs breeds to train are a Husky, Mastiff, Pug, Beagle, Bulldog, Weimaraner, Afghan Hound, Basenji, Basset Hound, Bloodhound, Chow Chow, Dalmatian, Fox and Kerry Blue Terrier, Irish Setter, Pekingese, Pit Bull Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, and a Rottweiler.

I purchased one of Steve's service dogs for my PTSD and anxiety. I was skeptical to see if a dog could really help, but much to my surprise it completely changed my life! Steve is such a great trainer who works with your schedule and is always available for questions. Don't waste your money anywhere else! Steve is incredibly knowledgeable and will not only improve your dogs behavior, but he will train YOU on how to communicate your dog. WORTH EVERY PENNY.
