Testimonials
Steve is great! He took my 19mo. old kitties with no official training and in 3 weeks took her all the way through training up to a service dog in training. He's the best, Steve's great with both the dogs and us humans as well. His wife and kids are wonderful also.
You won't do any better than Steve Hill and K9Nation.

Steve is wonderful, our Bernedoodle, Alfie has been reformed to a much better dog because of Steve.
Steve didn’t just train our dog, he spent several hours training us too going over what to do once we brought Alfie home and we have not stopped the continued work since then and it has paid off!
It was money well spent and worth every dime to have a well behaved dog and I feel I’ve gained a friendship with Steve which is an extra added bonus, he’s a great guy who will truly care for your dog while in his hands!

5 stars!!! Steve is an amazing dog trainer and awesome person. He is focused on the dogs happiness and wellbeing more so than other dog trainers I’ve met. He did an unbelievable job with our 5 month old puppy bowser. Bowser was so happy there as evident in the photos and videos. He also learned SO much and developed more emotional maturity and impulse control. I’ve already recommended Steve to friends and family. I love dogs so much and would trust him with any dog. Can’t say enough good things!

Steve and the group at K9 nation have trained and cared for both my Bernedoodle and mother’s Aussie. We sent our pup in for training at the young age of 6 months and he has been a wonder ever since. Steve and his group were incredibly communicative throughout the process and answered any questions that arose. Our dog has retained all information he learned and only very very rarely misses a command, even with a newborn attempting to distract him. I would recommend Steve and K9 nation to any and all that ask.
