Meet Our Trainers
Levi Stephens: Owner & Head Trainer
Levi Stephens is the owner of Real Results Canine Training and a dedicated full-time dog trainer. Before entering the dog training world, Levi served in the U.S. Air Force at Ellsworth Air Force Base. Now a veteran, he balances his career in canine behavior with seminary studies—living out his commitment to service, discipline, and lifelong growth.
Levi has always had a deep love for dogs—whether it's hiking, backpacking, or just enjoying their company. That passion evolved into years of experience working with:
• Large, high-drive working breeds
• Aggressive and bite-risk dogs
• Hard-to-manage behavior cases
• Everyday family dogs needing structure and obedience
​
​His military background in leadership and management gives him a natural edge in working with people as well as dogs. He specializes in behavioral rehabilitation, off-leash obedience, leash heeling, boundary training, and building calm, confident canine companions.
Levi’s approach is balanced—while structure and discipline are key to lasting results, he believes affection and fun are equally important. His calm, assertive, and playful energy naturally draws dogs to him. Most end up following him around like loyal shadows!
Originally from California, Levi has called Rapid City, SD home since 2015. He attends Fountain Springs Church, volunteers locally, and enjoys outdoor adventures in the Black Hills with his wife Hannah, their son, and their four dogs. He also lifts weights, plays Dungeons & Dragons, and cherishes time spent with family—both two and four-legged.
Hannah Stephens: Co-Owner & Trainer
Hannah Stephens is the Co-Owner of Real Results Canine Training, working alongside her husband Levi. With over 15 years of hands-on experience, Hannah brings deep insight into canine behavior, body language, and health. Her belief is simple yet powerful: trained dogs live fuller, freer lives.
Hannah’s training philosophy is holistic, grounded in understanding a dog’s drives, instincts, communication style, and overall well-being. Her approach emphasizes not just obedience, but also the emotional and physical needs of each dog.
Her journey began with a personal challenge: a dog-aggressive Dalmatian named Molly. Through patient work and training, Hannah helped Molly overcome her issues—and discovered a lifelong calling.
To help more dogs, she began volunteering at her local animal shelter, walking dogs other volunteers wouldn’t touch. That experience sparked years of dog-sitting, pack walking (including managing 12 dogs at once) and working at a boarding facility where she sought out the toughest training cases.
Hannah has worked with a variety of breeds from Rottweilers to Chihuahuas, across several states including Michigan and Utah, where she began professionally training dogs. She also has a growing interest in canine nutrition, specifically how poor diet and lack of exercise can impact behavior—leading her to explore raw feeding and holistic care.
Now based in Rapid City, SD since 2015, Hannah attends Fountain Springs Church, volunteers in her community, and enjoys writing. In her free time, she hikes, swims, and camps in the Black Hills with Levi, their son, and their four beloved dogs.
