About One Day Dog

Steve Miles has lived and worked all over the country but has spent most of his life in the San Francisco Bay Area. Born and raised in Palo Alto, Steve got his first dog at age 12 and has rarely been without a canine companion at his side since.

After a brief career playing professional football, Steve started his dog training career in Georgia. Working as an apprentice to a dog trainer in Georgia who used behavioral modification methods to train dogs at a large training facility, Steve soon realized that it did not take weeks or months to train dogs the five basic commands: collection, sit, down, doorway behavior, and recall. If done correctly and consistently the training could be completed in a matter of hours.

Upon returning to California Steve found that his services were in demand. He was able to help people in their own homes in a short period of time to learn to train their own dogs ... and Steve Miles One Day Dog Training was born. Steve does most of his training in the Bay Area but on special request travels to different parts of the country to work with clients.

When he is not training dogs Steve is busy at Miles Ranch, the horse retirement ranch that he and his wife own in Corralitos, California. Steve and his wife Tasha have 6 dogs of their own, as well as a variety of rescue animals including cats, birds, bunnies, goats, pot-belly pigs and miniature donkeys.

"I feel so lucky to be able to make a living doing what I love more than anything else ... The reward isn't in the money but in the gratification I get when I have helped someone understand and work with their dog in a way they did not think was possible."
