Falls Church, VA
I have been working with dogs in some capacity for over 16 years and for the last 4 years, i've been helping clients understand and train their dogs to go from good to great! I'm a Balanced Training and am capable of teaching puppy foundational skills and obedience, to modifying an aggressive dog's behavior to be a good canine citizen again, and everything in between.

Steve used to be a professional dog walker and later also dog trainer for my company KSR Pet Care, before moving on to his own business venture. We are happy and proud of Steve who was always professional, calm, a very good listener, intelligent, compassionate, a team player, very organized and dedicated to meeting all client requests and expectations. He would help with all our services early mornings, late nights, midday dog walking and overnights. He became very knowledgeable and his certification in dog training was the icing on the top. I have seen Steve firsthand lead dog training classes and helping clients needing help with dog aggression or basic obedience. Recommend! More...

Steve was incredibly friendly and professional! We had a phone consultation and then one session and we can already see a difference in our dog! Thanks Steve!

We just met with Steve from Nova Pack Pet Care for our 6 month old puppies. He is great! He explains everything patiently about how to teach and handle your dogs hands on. He creates a training strategy for your own needs. He is very experienced, easy going, knowledgeable and professional. Thank you! More...

Steve was great with our cat Ocho. He was extremely responsive when we reached out with a last minute request for the holidays. He sent us updates and pictures with each visit, and also had a detailed report waiting for us upon our return home. He even checked in to make sure we had returned on schedule in case he needed to provide any additional care to Ocho. Extremely reasonable pricing as well! More...

Steve takes care of this girl for me while I’m at work. I feel confident knowing she’s in his hands while I’m away!

What do you love most about your job?
Helping dogs and humans understand how to get the most out of each other, as well as building stronger bonds between us!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I’ve always loved dogs and it worked out well for me to take care of them from puppies to seniors! I’ve been in animal care my entire life and only in the last few years have I really developed my talents to help clients with unwanted behaviors and teach good dogs to be great dogs!
Why should our clients choose you?
I do a phone consultation, then an in person consultation to evaluate the issues, start to individualize protocols to help with problem/nuisance behaviors and then teach the owner how to change bad behaviors, increase good behaviors, and how to get you the dog they want!
