Wesley at Next Step Dog Training helped turn our dog into a (mostly) model citizen. Piper went from jumping on people and pulling on the leash to sitting, waiting, loose-leash walking and off-leash e-collar hikes. Life truly is better (and safer!) with a trained dog. Thanks Wesley!

Wesley at Next Step Dog Training has been such a gift for our family! Raising an adolescent Irish Setter on our family farm has definitely posed some unique challenges, which is why I had been skeptical about traditional dog training programs... until we met Wesley! He takes each dog's personality and environment into consideration when crafting session plans, and provides valuable structure and training all while maintaining a fun and energetic presence. Our pup has responded so well to Wesley's knowledge and instruction - and I've become more confident in my abilities as an owner. Wesley's program has taught us that consistency + fun can provide our family members (human and dog!) with a better quality of life! Couldn't recommend Next Step Dog Training more!

Was having a few problems with my pekingnese and Wes gave us some great ideas on how to get him to walk better without pulling and from jumping up on people...Wes really seemed to enjoy training our dog and made it fun for our dog as well...highly recommend.

Wesley is a really thorough, knowledgeable and fun trainer! He has been incredibly helpful with my first ever dog, an Akita puppy. He trains my dog and me, and I am now feeling confident handling my dog who is now 108 lbs at 1 year old :) I highly recommend Wesley and his services.

I am very impressed with Wesley's (Next Step Dog Training) style of training. He gets to know the personality of the dog and tailors the training routine to that. He focuses his training on positive reinforcement and making the lessons both meaningful and enjoyable for the dog. Also, since I am a first time dog owner, he has spent a considerable amount of time "training" me and helping me be more effective and confident in my relationship with my dog.

Wesley did a great job working with us and our great Pyrenees puppy. Very prompt and good with communications

After working with Wesley for only two sessions I was able to go on the most enjoyable four mile run with my three year old dog! Using simple, easy commands we have watched her come so far in just a few sessions. Would definitely recommend to anyone with highly energetic rescue dogs!!

Wesley has been a tremendous resource, and provided important training for our rescue dog. We have learned important leash skills along with reducing reactivity to other dogs. Highly recommended!
