Why we do what we do.
Our dogs love what we do, and it shows! None of it would be possible without the amazing people and dogs we’ve met along the way. Every person and dog has something to bring to the table, and we’re happy they’ve decided to bring it to K9 Intel.

We did a 2-week board and train for our XL Bully and it was everything we could ask for and more!!! Our dog loved Steve and they built such a strong bond so quickly, which helped a lot with training. We wanted our dog to stop pulling on leash – when he sees someone he gets so excited to meet them that he starts pulling towards them. I was shocked at the progress he made with Steve in just two weeks! After the board and train went for a walk where we crossed paths with several people and dogs and our dog continued walking so nonchalantly!
I HIGHLY recommend Steve for dog training and a bird and train – you and your dog will not be happier!!
I brought my 2.5 year old german sherpherd to K9 Intel for some training. Steve and Emily were wonderful to deal with. They are so knowledgeable and I learned lots from them and will return for more training
Steve at K9 Intel Dog Training Academy is Outstanding!
I can’t say enough good things about Steve and K9 Intel. He took my Daisy from a bit of a handful to a confident, well-rounded, and happy dog. His training methods are clear, effective, and built on real trust and communication between handler and dog.
Steve’s experience shines through in every session—he’s patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about results. Daisy loves working with him, and I’ve seen massive improvements in her behavior, focus, and overall balance. If you’re looking for top-tier dog training that actually works, K9 Intel (and Steve especially) is the real deal. Highly recommend!
I have been training with k9 intel for 3 years now. They have helped me build confidence and control in my dog. As well as achieve my BH and work towards my IGP 1. I would highly recommend them for all types dog training.
I’ve been involved in dogs sport for about 7 years now. This last year I have been working with Stephen and his team and can easily say he has been the most influential trainer I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He has taken my obedience from being flat, emotionless and slow to animated, precise and fast. My entire mindset towards training has changed because of him and his team. My dogs are happier, I’m less frustrated and my obedience scores have never been higher.
I have a 5 month old irishwolfhound x Great Dane who’s large doesn’t listen and has many problems separation anxiety, won’t walk on a leash without pulling, jumping up on people, terrible recall and the list goes on. I came to Steve because for the last 3 months we have had no life someone always has to stay home with our puppy because she won’t stay in her kennel and I was extremely desperate for help. There are other trainers you can go to sure but nothing on this planet is going to compare to the help, knowledge and sheer magic that Steve has. He’s exceptional, passionate and loves what he does it shows from the first minute you and your dog meet him!
I went for a 1 on 1 lesson today and by the time I left my confidence and sheer excitement was through the roof! Steve has accomplished more with my dog in 1 hour than I have in 3 months!!!! I can now walk my dog absolutely no pulling on a leash and today she went from not staying in her kennel to sleeping in it for 3 hours and then another two ours without her usual tantrum. I’m so happy I could cry happy tears. I’m so thankful for Steve’s patience, guidance and information. I am going back tomorrow for more help with other issues since he solved these so effortlessly. I don’t think I will be able to sleep I am so excited to see what we accomplish tomorrow.
Please if your dog needs help in anyway don’t waste your time anywhere else go see Steve I promise from the bottom of my heart you won’t regret it!
I boarded my working dog with Steve over the Holidays and he was a huge help!
Steve took the time and care over this holiday season to take care of my pup’s individual needs, and even went as far as keeping his detection skills fresh with some training
Would highly recommend K9 Intel
My life changed when I found K9 Intel.
They helped me establish a strong bond with my dog and improve my leadership qualities as a handler. I learned how to work on basic challenges like leash reactivity and good manners in public, now I can proudly take my dog anywhere.
After achieving good results on basic challenges, I was able to move on to work on much more upscale skills with my dog.
K9 Intel has a unique and effective training approach which leads each team to success.
