Garrett Stevens

Garrett Stevens translates for dogs. Author of Dog Myths and So Long Separation Anxiety, he has been training people and behaviorally rehabbing dogs of differing breeds and personalities into properly behaved canines for many years. Garrett's results and testimonials speak for him (see his official website). He is an expert in canine body language and energy communication. Garrett knows that to get great results with any animal (aggressive, fearful, hyper, etc) one must use clear communication, leadership, and the natural drives and instincts of each individual dog. And, of course, be a skilled communicator able to equip the owners with the skills they need. Calm, clear communication is the key - Not bribery with food or harsh handling!

Throughout the years Garrett has successfully rehabilitated dogs suffering from severe aggression, fears and other behavioral problems. Garrett has rehabilitated dogs that have killed other dogs back to the point where they are balanced and happy members of multi-dog households! He has even successfully trained a blind and deaf bull terrier through the dog's sense of touch and feeling. Garrett excels in identifying the underlying issues your dog may be suffering from and he can turn those problems into solutions.

Garrett wants to learn from each dog he works with. He is constantly researching the field of canine behavior and new training methods. Published in the Pet Connection Magazine, on Wolf and Iron, and on his blog thecaninecalmer, Garrett's articles have received high praise from other trainers and dog professionals. Garrett's Private Sessions are phenominal; yielding amazing results. He teaches Group Obedience classes for dogs of all ages throughout the South Sound. Garrett also presents Seminars and Workshops on dog whispering methods and dog training techniques.

He has instructed many dog daycare owners, groomers, dog rescues, veterinarians and vet techs and other dog trainers. He often spends time re-training dogs and owners that have not received the results they desired after hiring other dog training companies. He is a gifted public speaker and his reputation is pristine. He is well known around the local community.

People and animals are Garrett's lifelong passion. Garrett has studied and applied the principles of success in his life, his business, and for his clients. He was instructing people long before he ever taught dogs. He has traveled the world several times and lived in or visited India, Thailand, Cambodia, Ecuador, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Canada, Mexico and explored much of the USA. He is in love with life and learning.

Currently, when he's not training people and translating for the dogs, Garrett is working on videos and his own books to help meet the high demand for better training and behavior modification techniques. He is loving life and being a husband to his gorgeous and brilliant wife and their three beautiful, stubborn, smart, high-energy, and oh-so-excellent children.

Garrett's training is always fun, fast-paced, educational, motivational and rewarding. He practices a No Dog Left Behind policy!
