Save $ Thousands & Skip Years Of Training When You Create A Custom Training Plan For Your Dog & Lifestyle
If you’re reading this, I understand exactly what you’re feeling right now with your dog.
You brought your dog into your family because you wanted an adventure partner and companion who could go everywhere with you.
You dreamed of peaceful walks together along the river, throwing a stick in the water so they could splash around.
You were excited to take them for hikes, runs, and bike rides at all of your favorite spots.
You looked forward to relaxing evenings at home reading a book or watching a movie while they dozed on your lap.
You imagined play dates with friends and going to the dog park, watching them sprint around and just be a dog.
But if your dog is still untrained, your life might sound a little more like this…
You can’t take them anywhere with you because their behavior is stressful and embarrassing.
They jump on or bark at guests who come to your home.
Walks are miserable when they bark at everything that moves and practically pull your arm off yanking on the leash.
If you let them off-leash (or they escape), they run off to chase squirrels, cats, birds, other dogs, and those ever suspicious looking bicyclists. What’s the meaning of the word “come”? Your dog sure doesn’t know.
You come home to chewed and shredded furniture when you leave them home alone.
Anything accidentally left in their reach (clothes, shoes, books, toys, homework, grandma’s dentures) ends up looking like it went through a wood chipper.
If your dog displays reactive or aggressive behavior, you might feel even more stressed and anxious. What if they end up hurting someone, or another dog? What if they get hurt themselves?
The trouble is…dog training can be expensive. And I’ve worked with many clients over the years who paid a lot of money to another trainer without getting results.
Maybe you’ve already worked with a couple of trainers, but you’re just as stressed, frustrated, and embarrassed by your dog’s behavior as before… maybe even more so.
If you haven’t started your training journey yet, maybe you’re afraid that COULD be you.
I don’t want that to be you.
That’s why I made this quiz. I want to help you:
1. Identify the exact TYPE of dog training that you to succeed.
2. Then create a custom training plan that will best fit for your dog, lifestyle, and preferences.
Doing this before you start training can save you years and $ thousands spent experimenting with training methods that won’t work for your dog or family.
Over decades of training dogs, I’ve learned one thing…
If you get the training style wrong, it doesn’t matter how much time or money you put into training!
I’ve helped dog owners who spent over half a decade trying to train their dog before they came to me.
They spent hours watching training videos on YouTube.
They tried every type of training treat imaginable to get their dog’s attention.
They worked with multiple trainers.
They burnt through cash and every ounce of patience they had.
…Only to realize that their dog’s temperament and specific behavioral challenges needed a totally different style of training to achieve the results their family needed.
That’s why I created this quiz.
I want to help dog owners like you create a custom training plan to best fit your dog and lifestyle on the front end…
So you don’t pour years into purely positive methods when your high-drive German Shepherd actually needs a balanced training approach to achieve the full off-leash recall you want.
So you don’t pay for an expensive board and train when your easy-going Doodle could learn everything you need from some consistent group classes.
So you don’t invest in an online training course that’s exhausting to keep up with in your busy life (causing stalled progress and burn out).
So you can focus your time, money, and effort on what will actually work for you and your dog to get the results you want.
…All while skipping years and $ thousands of frustrating experimentation.
So, are you ready to get a custom training plan for your dog and family? Start with my free quiz.
It will only take a 60 seconds or so, and you’ll be immediately matched with the best training method to help you achieve the life you’ve always wanted to have with your dog.
About Steven
My Decades of Training Focused On Your Dog’s Success
Hi, my name is Steven! I’m the lead trainer at Let’s Go Dog Training, a dog training facility serving Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and the surrounding areas.
I’ve been a “professional” dog trainer since I was 12. My first gig: I talked my neighbor into letting me train his dog for $10 a trick. It was more work than I expected, and that summer, I learned the hard lessons of patience, consistency, and determination, but also the great joy of training people’s dogs! I was hooked.
Since then, I’ve made my mission to help frustrated and embarrassed owners experience the joy and freedom that comes with a well-trained dog.
Here’s what I know: You care about your dog more than anything, and you want them to have a fulfilling life just like you. In the past decades, I’ve learned the key to that life is quality training and learning to be the leader and friend your dog needs.
That’s why I love working with owners to help them train the dog of their dreams, and I’d love to help you save $ thousands and years of heartache by finding the perfect training style for your dog and family!
Here are a few other dog owners who I’ve helped:
“Completely transformed our seven-year-old doodle.”
Huge shoutout to Steven and his incredible trainers: Allison, Dakota, Emily, Jonathan, Cam, Alan, and Steve. They’re the most skilled, patient, and kind people we have ever met! The crew is devoted to helping you and your pup be successful. Our pups are family, and they’ve completely transformed our seven-year-old doodle. If you knew him before, the difference is just wow! We highly recommend them for walks, greetings, commands, and a happier dog life!

“Our defiant pup passed her level three test.”
We have two Labrador pups, now 10 months old. Max is laid-back and easygoing, while Bella tends to bounce off the walls and can be very defiant. We started with the puppy program and then moved to advanced training. Max has been easier to train, and I held Bella back in level one while he moved to level two so I could concentrate on them in separate classes. Max made it to level three, and Bella advanced to level two, where she started responding very quickly.
Today was a proud moment: Bella tested for level three and she did great! Now we have two level-three dogs, and Max also has his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification. Bella will be next very soon! Thanks to Sit Means Sit!

“We can finally take our reactive dog out in public.”
My partner and I started our three-year-old mini poodle, Leo, with Steven after he began reacting violently toward people. It got to the point where we couldn’t go out with him anymore and struggled to find someone who could safely dog-sit him. The staff has taught us so much, and we feel more confident in our ability to predict and control Leo’s behavior. Their training methods have him paying much better attention to us in social environments.
There’s been a huge difference—we can take him out with us again, have successfully joined parades with them, and have recently enrolled our new puppy.
They have also been very flexible. When we aren’t able to attend group classes, they work with us to organize private one-on-one lessons to make sure we don’t fall behind. I love that you can attend as many classes a month as you want, so progress feels more personalized. I’ve recommended Steven to everyone I can because of the huge improvement and the confidence that we’re doing the best for our dogs.

“My anxious dogs can now enjoy a normal life.”
I cannot say enough good things about Steven. I’ve put all three of my dogs through training here, and it has changed our lives. My two younger dogs struggled with major anxiety—I never thought I’d be able to enjoy a normal life with them, but now I can.
I also want to mention that this program takes commitment, with lots of patience and consistent at-home training. But the team is there every step of the way. Anytime I’ve had a question or concern, they’ve been incredibly responsive and supportive. They also do continued check-ins to make sure we stay on track, which has been so helpful. Scott, Steve, Emily, John, Allen, Allison, and Zach are all amazing—knowledgeable, kind, and invested in helping both dogs and owners succeed. I truly don’t know where we’d be without this training. If you’re considering it, I highly recommend taking the leap. It’s worth every bit of effort!

“Our reactive, resource-guarding dog is completely transformed.”
I cannot express enough gratitude to Steve, John, Scott, and Emily for all their work with both of our dogs. Our younger dog, Mando, was so dog-reactive and prone to resource guarding that we were very overwhelmed. After his month-long weekly day program, we had the tools and a method to help focus his behavior and give him positive feedback. With group classes, he grew and developed confidence in himself and in us as a family. Mando is a totally different dog than the one we started with nearly 18 months ago.
We started our older dog in the program after a year, and he is working in group classes now. I anticipate that he will progress just as well as our younger guy did. The whole Let’s Go team is patient, kind, and so willing to help, no matter the situation. We cannot thank them enough for their hard work and dedication.

“Our ‘land-shark’ puppy is now a therapy dog candidate.”
My Lizzie and I started at Let’s Go for puppy class when our vet recommended it to help her socialize. As she was my first dog to train all on my own, I knew it was a good plan. Little did I know what a game-changer it would be for us! Lizzie is an energetic, impulsive girl who was extremely mouthy—I have the scars to prove what a land-shark she was! Nothing anyone recommended worked until we started our individual lessons and then the level-based classes. She also had resource guarding tendencies to work through, having been the runt of ten in her litter.
Those things could have been a recipe for disaster because my niece and nephews are a constant in my life, and safety was a paramount concern. I didn’t know if I would ever be able to trust her not to nip, herd, or jump at them. We practiced and worked hard, and now she loves kids and people more than food or toys. She is currently working toward becoming a therapy dog! It’s been amazing to see her growth. I know we would not be where we are today without the advice and support from Steve, Emily, and the other trainers. It has been worth every dime and every minute spent practicing.
