"Monty and Linda are great people and love all the dogs exceptionally!!  Our dogs get so excited to see them when they come to visit us or they go stay with them!!  We have referred many German shepherd owners for training over the years and will continue to do so.  They are so sweet to send Christmas gifts for Ruby and Gator every year… ❤️❤️"

"Where do I even begin? Monty and Linda are wonderful people that go ABOVE and BEYOND in the training and care they provide for every dog that enters their home. I’ve personally learned so many things from Monty as a trainer and to say he is exceptional at what he does is an understatement. His patience with every dog he works with and the time he puts in for both dog and owner to have success together as a team is amazing.

Plus the witty humor that Monty inserts into each training session will always make you smile and feel like you’re having fun.

If I could give more than 5 stars on this review I would!! But I suppose 5 will have to do. Simply put: Shepherds of Steele ROCKS."

"Monty and Linda do such an incredible job developing the young dogs as protectors but keeping their heads clear to be able to be around kids, animals, small dogs and flourish in all types of environments. The dogs are teddy bears until a moment comes they are called to protect. They are the very best!"

"Shepherds of Steele is an excellent place for dog training!  Monty is a great trainer with years of experience in handling, training, and competing with dogs.  More than that, he is a man of integrity and he can be trusted.  Hard to find places like this anymore….highly recommended!"

"My experience with Monty and his wife Linda was absolute pleasure, they are truly the nicest and professional people I know ! They will go to great lengths to help you and your dog achieve whatever levels you choose. The dogs are provided with a happy home environment and placed in real life situations to better their skill of protection , whatever level it may be."

"I have worked with the staff of Shepherds of Steele for years.  They have decades of knowledge and have actively trained their own dogs to compete in the dog sport of schutzhund/IGP.  Their goal is to assist their clients to reach their goals.  They will give you an honest evaluation and help you with a plan to achieve the desired outcome."
