Nate was very supportive and answered all my questions during one on one sessions and when my dog was at bootcamp. He shared multiple videos everyday to show how Duncan was doing and what they were working on, which helped me have a reference to look back on when working with my dog at home! I really appreciate all the help and support!

We had a great experience with Bowser Dog Services. From the very first in home session we know we chose the right people to fix a few issues our boy Kaos (Border Collie) had. Throughout the 2 week boot camp we were sent multiple pictures and videos on a daily basis detailing the training he was receiving. We couldn't believe the progress he was making! We put all of the videos into a Traing folder. We watched each video multiple times so we could see what commands he was being taught to achieve the desired outcome. This was done in preparation for him coming home. Once home, it was up to us to continue with his training. The way we see it, Kaos put in the work at boot camp and now it's up to us to put in the work as well. We work with him multiple times a day and we're happy to report Kaos is doing great! Nate and Jodie were truly awesome — they were very supportive, encouraging, and always willing to answer questions or provide extra guidance when needed. If you're looking for a professional dog training service I highly recommend Jodie and Nate at Bowser Dog Services!

Our dogs came back from boot camp completely transformed. We received frequent updates via videos and pictures the entire time and it was obvious they were in good hands and well loved the entire time. Upon return, we received a thorough walkthrough of all of the training commands and protocols with more follow up sessions scheduled. Highly recommend.

Our dog Scottie just got back from bootcamp a little over a week ago and we couldn’t be happier with the progress he made. We received numerous videos every day showing us the progress he was making and also giving my husband and I tips for when he came home. They taught him how to go on the treadmill and he gets so excited to do it every morning before my husband and I go to work. We are now able to go for walks without him reacting to people, bikes, and dogs. We also found that he’s so much calmer at home whereas before he was always stressed out and pacing the house because he didn’t know what to do. Sending Scottie to Bowser Dog Services was one of the best decisions we ever made for him and we will definitely be sending our next Come on come on Come on in Boy, are you tired? You’re ready to take your rest for the day. Come on Scotty boy dog there too!

I am very thankful to have found Jodi and Nate for dog training! I was to a point with my dog Boone that I was unsure how to handle what he needed. We are only 1 week home from his boot camp and I already see a great improvement! Definitely still have work to do moving forward, but I feel much better equipped to handle his needs moving forward. Would definitely recommend!
