Steve Hong is a highly respected and accomplished trainer with credentials that are hard to match. Groomed to be a dog trainer at an early age, his father raised, trained, and competed dogs throughout Steve’s childhood in Korea and continued when they moved to the United States. Steve was learning to train and breed from the very beginning; handling and showing numerous dogs ranging from Korean Jindos to Pomeranians. From that time up to the present, Steve has traveled the world and competed at some of the highest levels of competition in the very competitive sport of Schutzhund (IPO) with his German Shepherds and the occasional Belgian Malinois by his side. He has also specialized in the handling and training of Pit Bulls; a breed he has loved for many years and understands well.

Steve’s talents in dog training include basic to advanced obedience, protection training, sport / competition training, service work, movie work, aggression issues and puppy training.

He has instructed classes in basic obedience and worked extensively with Schutzhund, narcotic detection and explosive detection work. Currently, he provides training for private lessons and workshops for Schutzhund and working K9 dog / handler teams.
