      <image:title>About Us - From concerned to thrilled</image:title>
      <image:caption>“We adopted Harlow as an adult dog who, while very sweet, was too rambunctious to suit our three cats. We thought we had made a terrible mistake. But, after just a couple of sessions with Steve—who, to be honest, is also training us—we can now imagine a time when everyone gets along.” — Brad Aaron</image:caption>

      <image:title>My Approach - Big issues that would’ve grown to be even Bigger…</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Steve of Great Companion Dog Training helped us with our bernedoodle puppy, Leinie. We are first time dog owners, and our puppy needed guidance and training. In particular, biting, pulling, and counter surfing were big issues. Steve provided effective and thoughtful training, emphasizing positive reinforcement. Leinie responded beautifully and after 4 sessions with Steve it’s like we had a new dog. In addition to training, we are very grateful that Steve introduced us to a puppy play group that Leinie continues to enjoy to this day. We highly recommend Steve!” — Ali Barbera</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tips &amp; Resources - Service Dog Training</image:title>
      <image:caption>I met Steve as the trainer for the Wounded Warrior Project/Action Toward Independence Veterans Dog Program where dogs are trained to be Veterans’ Service Dogs. I can't thank him enough for his time, dedication, and most importantly excellent results. My puppy Zelda is an AKC German Shepherd, a breed known to be challenging to train. We get more compliments about Zelda’s sweet, loving, and obedient nature than we can count. She is a product of Steve's method of constant positive reinforcement. He really helped turn Zelda into a superstar dog. Always a professional with thoughtful and engaging training sessions giving real-life practical exercises, advice, and a roadmap with great notes after each session to help me practice until the next session. If you are serious about training to improve your understanding and relationship with your dog, Steve is your guy. We’ve recommended Great Companion Dog Training to my own family &amp; I can recommend them for yours, too! — Billy S., Disabled Army Veteran &amp; Zelda, AKC German Shepherd</image:caption>
