Nick came to my house today for training for the first time. He worked with my dogs on coming out of the crate and door training. He did amazing; he understood my dogs, and my dogs understood him. I have training collars on my dogs, and I learned today that they shouldn't be set to 40. I was told to keep it on that number originally, but Nick said it was too high and could hurt my dogs. He turned the numbers down to 6 and showed me how to use the collars correctly, and it worked. This guy is magical; he takes the time to show you everything you need to know. However, as a dog parent, you have to follow through with it. If I could give Nick 50,000 stars, I would. I definitely recommend him if you are struggling with your pups.

Nick is wonderful with our Labrador Retrievers. After 1, 1-hour session, they are following commands. The elder lab is almost 3 and the younger lab is 7 months old. A lot of obedience has been displayed after 1 week. They focus more with their training exercises and follow through with my commands. I'm 100% satisfied, I highly recommend Nick. His advice and support has went a long distance in a short time. I'm curious and eager to see what my dogs will handle after more sessions.

When I asked Nick why he felt the need to scream a recall cue to his dog (as he showed on his business social media), he responded to me “if you’re a woman who has a problem with a man raising his voice, you should get back in the kitchen”.

When I asked Nick why he felt the need to scream a recall cue to his dog (as he showed on his business social media), he responded to me “if you’re a woman who has a problem with a man raising his voice, you should get back in the kitchen”. He doesn’t seem to comprehend that interactions with a business social media do in fact count as experiences with that business, whether I have paid him money or not - and people deserve to be aware of the character of the person they are hiring and trusting with their animals.
