My dog is very spoiled so when we started training he was not having it. Only after one evening with Nick my dog is already doing commands he’s never done before. Nick is very hands on with the dog and is showing us that we have to stay stern even though we are not used to it either. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is having trouble training their dog.

Nick is great! He is helping us with our two Danes and my son! I love how passionate he is about the animals and I feel like he loves my dogs just as much as he loves his! I love that he is looking at not only helping our dogs but, giving our family the tools we need to be successful. Nick is super flexible and will work with our schedules. He will come to our home, and take our dogs to different locations. I could just go in and on. I am so thankful we found him!!!!

Nick was awesome with our Rex while we went on vacation for 5 days. This was Rex's first time ever being away from home for longer than a couple of hours and his first time socializing with other dogs. Nick sent daily messages or videos of Rex and kept in close contact with us. He helped ease the anxiety and nervousness Rex had and was even able to get rid of some bad habits as well. Nick's patience with not only Rex but the other 6 dogs he had over the holiday weekend is nothing short of amazing. He's very attentive to the dogs' needs and loves all of them like his own. I can't wait to get started on our one on one training sessions! If you're looking for a boarder or trainer who loves dogs like a parent loves their kids, then Nick is the one! I can't say enough good things about this man, or else this review would go on a lot longer. Thank you again, Nick, we can't wait to see you again soon!!

Nick took great care of our Ranger. I contacted him at the last minute looking for a kennel to board. He didn’t have an issue accommodating us. When you first meet Nick, he gives off such positive energy which makes the dogs feel right at home. Nick communicated daily while caring for him. He went above and beyond purchasing a larger crate to ensure Ranger was comfortable. We truly appreciate the care our Ranger received. I would definitely recommend him when looking for a kennel to board your dog. IJK9 is a veteran owned business which we gladly support.
