Struggling with your dog's behavior? You're not alone — and you don't have to guess your way through it.
These private sessions are designed to fix the most common issues dog owners deal with, while building a well-behaved, reliable dog you can actually enjoy living with.
Every lesson is tailored to your dog and your goals — no cookie-cutter training.
We also cover obedience, recall, confidence building, and more as needed.

Best for owners who want real progress and lasting results
Get your dog ready for the AKC Canine Good Citizen test. Over six sessions we'll work through all ten test items — sit, down, stay, recall, manners around people and other dogs — so you both walk in confident on test day.
Hi, I’m Steven Alejandro, the owner of Skill Tree K-9. My journey into dog training started when I helped my parents’ dogs learn not to pull on walks — and it quickly grew into a passion for understanding how dogs think, learn, and communicate. Since then, I’ve completed professional trainer education programs and continue to advance my skills through hands-on work with dogs of all backgrounds and personalities. Along the way, I’ve dedicated myself to studying the psychology of animal learning and behavior to better understand what motivates each individual dog.
At home, I share life with two incredible rescue dogs — Azul, a spirited Husky-Boxer mix, and Buttercup, a sweet Golden Retriever who loves nothing more than fetching toys. Living and training with them has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of celebrating progress at every level. My approach focuses on trust, communication, and personalized training that helps dogs and their owners build confidence and connection — one step at a time.
Yes — we work from a structured curriculum, but it's flexible. We adapt lesson plans, exercises, and pacing to fit your dog, your goals, and your lifestyle so you both keep moving forward.
