I took my "unfriendly" Bishon to Steve Nixon. I've had the dog for 6 yrs. and he liked other dogs, hated people except those he knew very well. By the end of the lesson Steve and the killer Bishon were rolling around the floor together like best friends! This was a "first" for my dog. Since then I can't say enough about Steve and his methods. Steve is one of a kind and has often been (falsely) accused of being mean and cruel to dogs but I'm here to say that that is NOT TRUE. His training is hard but it works. The collar he uses is the only one that ever worked for my dog and gets his attention. If used properly by intelligent dog owners it is the perfect tool, firm but harmless. If I had 100 dogs they would all be trained by Steve and the best advice I can give is: Try it and see, you'll be amazed just as I am!!\r
