Since 2012, Steven Tallas has been professionally working to help pet owners effectively and compassionately care for their pets. In 2017, Steven began leading a volunteer based project called The Sit, Walk, & Barc Event at Barc Animal Shelter and Adoptions, a shelter in Houston, TX. The mission was to help dogs in the shelter get adopted while educating volunteers about dog behavior.​

 

Utilizing trainers and groomers from local pet shops and a photographer, Tallas organized several successful BARC events in the span of a year. He and his team taught over 50 volunteers who spent over 100 documented hours training sheltered dogs. This contributed to numerous at-risk dogs finding forever homes or being transferred to safer places.

 

​In 2020, Steven founded Venture Dog Training, a company with the sole purpose of educating owners on how to properly introduce creative adventures to the everyday lives of pet owners. Today, Venture Dog Training moved to Austin, TX and continues to help pet owners obtain a new and exciting relationship with their pet.​

 

Steven credits many of his positive reinforcement mentors that helped him grow to become the trainer he is today.
