I have had my first lesson with IJK9 and to say the least I am super impressed and excited to continue with my one year old German Shepherd. Nick is definitely gifted in his craft, quickly assessing/reading both the dog’s emotions along with the owners. My background is in horses/training which has its similarities and I am thrilled to find someone who can help me strengthen my own instincts, get to the root of any issues and build a stronger partnership with my Shepherd, Cesar.

Everything is perfect. The trainer is very kind and helpful. He will guide you and your dog and teach you every detail. Every question you have the trainer will answer as accurately as possible so you can understand. The schedule is also super flexible. 100% recommended.

What an amazing trainer. With my families schedule it can be very difficult trying to find a trainer who is accommodating due to our time constraints. Nicholas is very accommodating, his methods are so easy to understand, and it was very quick with training our puppy. He’s also very understanding of the breed we have which is very important. My family and I give him very high marks, and would suggest everyone to go to him for dog training.

Working with Nick to train my 6 m.o. female GSD has been all around great. Within minutes of sending my inquiry he responded and we set up a time to do a free consultation and set goals. He’s willing to meet you at home, the park, public spaces, etc. to meet you and the pup’s needs. 10/10 recommend

So I have a Malinois/Dutch shepherd mix Named Nakita and I got her at 5 months old and unfortunately she was being trained before I got her by someone that thought they knew how to train dogs like her and when I got her she was TERRIBLE with very bad behaviors but the sweetest dog with tons of potential and unfortunately got to the point where I was starting to get worried until I found Nick. Nick is very professional but also very down to earth and Nakita likes him which is a huge PLUS because my dog can be a little picky plus she’s very high strung with tons and tons of energy. He’s very gentle with your animals but very stern with them at the same time. He let me know all the things I needed to work on with her and I was also able to let him know the bad behaviors she had going on at home and he was able to help me and teach me some things that have helped me tremendously. He will do his own thing with training your 4 legged love and then teach you how to do these things. But he’s no joke he will give you homework and expect you to work with your pet in between sessions and I love that. He has shown me things that I can honestly say are changing my dogs behavior in the best way possible. I can NOT wait to continue my training with Nick to see the progress with Nakita. 🖤Nakita~Sam~Kelli
