As the owner of a dog training business, I know Isaiah very well—and I know how talented he is as a trainer. If you’re looking for dog training, give him a call. He’ll help you, teach you, and coach you using proven, science-based training methods to help your dog reliably listen to you. Isaiah is amazing, and I highly recommend him!

We had a great experience with Isaiah! Our six-month old Giant Schnauzer, completed the five week board and train program. We wanted to establish good manners, build a solid foundation in obedience, and better manage all that puppy energy.Since coming home, our big guy walks on a loose leash and listens to commands. It’s clear he understands what we’re asking him to do, and that has made a big difference.Isaiah kept us updated throughout the program and was always informative, friendly, and helpful. We also appreciated his patience during our two training sessions. He walked my wife and I through leash handling, off-leash commands, proper play, and heel, making sure we understood how to continue Iron’s training at home.We definitely recommend Isaiah at Next-Step K9!

I highly recommend Next-Step K9. I have a mixed breed Cane Corso, American Bulldog, etc. and Isaiah has been instrumental in teaching me how to give her exactly what she needs to be well adjusted and happy. He tailors his teaching to the specific needs of each dog while maintaining clear instruction and expectations. And he empowers the owner to train their dog, not just training the dog to listen to the trainer.

From the moment we met Isaiah, we knew we had chosen the right trainer. Not only was he welcoming & professional, he was immensely patient with our 4 month-old Cane Corso, Frankie. During the Puppy Foundation course, Isaiah helped us understand how dogs think & learn which made continuing training at home sustainable. By the time we returned for Board & Train a few months later, Frankie had a strong framework to continue obedience training. Over her 5 week stay, Isaiah kept lines of communication open, sent updates on her progress, & answered our questions while she was away. His frequent Instagram posts & stories also allowed us to see her progress in real time. We were beyond amazed at her progression week after week. On our first session before she finished her course, we arrived to a more confident, obedient, and nonreactive puppy. She was properly loose leash walking, reponded to recall commands, confidently jumped onto elevated objects, stayed in place, and she was no longer running away from every little sound or movement. We left that session confident in our handling skills and astounded that Frankie had done a complete 360° in just four weeks. We felt the same way after our last session.Isaiah welcomed our stubborn, energy filled Corso with selective hearing into his home and instilled an obedience structure that far exceeded our expectations. We knew we left her in good hands 5 weeks ago, but bringing her home we have realized she was in the BEST hands. Words cannot fully express how grateful we are for Isaiah or how phenomenal he is as a trainer, but know that we are and he is. Honestly, we say this and mean it, you and your dog don't need a dog whisperer, you just need Isaiah.

This experience far outweighed my expectations. Isaiah is extraordinarily compitent and his services far outweighs his pricepoints. He clearly has a true passion for dogs AND the owners. This decision to use him was a game changer for my house hold.

We couldn't be happier with the results from Iris's 4-week board and train with Isaiah! Iris is a very high-energy dog, and despite our best efforts, we just weren't making progress with her training at home. Her pulling on walks had become so bad that I had actually stopped taking her because it was too difficult.Throughout her stay, Isaiah kept us updated with frequent videos and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see her progress every step of the way. It was clear she was receiving excellent care and consistent training.By the time Iris came home, all of the concerns we had discussed with Isaiah had been addressed. Her leash manners have improved tremendously, she's much more responsive, and we finally have the tools and confidence to continue her training at home.If you're struggling with your dog's behavior or just want a solid foundation for training, we highly recommend Isaiah. His knowledge, patience, communication, and dedication made all the difference. Thank you for giving us a happier, more enjoyable relationship with Iris! From The Norris Family

The 4 week board and train was the best investment for our 8 month Irish Setter Lucky!The biggest life changers were her loose leash walking, she was wild puller on the leash before and a funny video is recorded on Isaiah’s Instagram for proof! And After his training she is great walking on leash now, It’s a huge game changer having her not pulling anymore. her recall is life changing as well and we have so much more freedom at the park now because she will come when called - running around in fields with no leash felt like something so far out of reach before.She previously had little self control and too much excitement around dogs and people, so having her hold a down with a dog next to her is a huge deal! Since she is a puppy she still gets excited around new people but now i have the tools to work through that thanks to Isaiah’s hard work and teaching me as well. She has shown huge progress from her 4 weeks and it’s much easier to guide her now! the e collar, down and place commands are tools in our belt to stay consistent with training at home as she is still in her adolescent months!Isaiah also is very responsive and has helped us with boarding for out of town trips, we look forward to more training sessions and group classes as we continue to proof Luckys obedience!
