I often tell people that I'm not really a dog trainer.
I'm a relationship coach for dogs and humans.
Because most behavior problems don't start with a lack of training. They start with a lack of understanding.
For 15+ years I've worked with dogs every day, helped thousands of dogs and owners, and taught dog psychology for over a decade.

Understand The Dog has helped me build a healthy relationship with my two long nose pugs. I have had dogs my whole life and the teaching modules/weekly Tuesday morning live meetings/community support have helped me, as a human, be accountable for a healthy household with my dogs. My mother always said “it takes two to do the Tango.” It’s time for the human to step up to the plate and show accountability to their beloved dog that is displaying unwanted behaviors in every household.

If you really want to know and understand dogs, this is where you should be. I have watched many other trainers and read many, many books and there is just not much out there that explains dog psychology let alone how to communicate on their terms. I’ve even taken canine behavior classes at a college and they didn’t do half the job that Steve does. Just try it, I guarantee you’ll learn a lot.

Love this community. Learning so much even though I had dogs all my life. I thought I knew alot, lol. It's so nice to belong to a community that truly love their pups. Steve is an awesome teacher making this community something to look forward to everyday. The lessons are easy to understand and apply perfectly to the relationship between you and and your dog.

Understand the Dog has a lot of great, straight-forward information to help better understand dogs, and learning materials continue to be uploaded. Steve is great with how he explains everything to his audience, and he also does live weekly online meetings with members, which is very helpful!

The interaction and information is incredible. To be part of a group full of like minded people which has become a vault of information is amazing. Feeling free to ask any question and receive non judgemental responses from both Steve and the group is great.
