I’m desperate. I have a four-year old shusky(shelherd-husky) who is a biter. He goes after anyone who comes on property and he has bitten family members who have come to visit. With me he is gentle and loving but won’t listen to commands.????
i would not hesitate to call Nik Sharma at K-9 National Services. he has been AMAZING with our aggressive pup. we were desperate also but now, after maybe a month or a little longer, things are looking up. incredible. and we had a previous trainer who told us our dog was hopeless. same with a friend of mine. i promise you will not be disappointed with K-9 National.

I rescued a 4 month old German Shepherd, Sadie May Grace. I had 7 other older small dogs. I've always had dogs in my family . All rescues, nut never a Shepherd puppy. I knew with Sadie I would need help. She is sweet, not aggressive at all. But she also had fear aggression. Which I learned from Nick. Needless to say, Nick came out That same afternoon, he needed to see my Sadie along with my other dogs. As soon as he steps in my yard there was a difference with Sadie. He quickly took control of an out of control Shepherd. Nick is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. But most importantly he has HELPED me, see what I was doing wrong. He's been very patient with me. I realize, I'm the one with the bad habits. I needed to be trained. I'm the one that needs, the he education, and the discipline to be consistent. We have come along way, and have much to learn from Nick. Let me just say I would recommend Nick to anyone. For any breed for any type of behavior modification or training. I have 7 other dogs. It was extremely challenging before Nick came to work with us. I am a work in progress but with the training that Nick has provided thus far, it has worked for all of us. I feel a great sense of ease now that Nick has been working with us. He is a professional and knows his stuff. I know now that myself and Sadie are being trained by the best. I will keep you posted on our progress, or should I say my progress.

K-9 National services (Dog Training) Nick is indeed the dog whisperer. We have seen him perform miracles right before our eyes on not one but two (brother and sister) Rottweilers that live in the same household. He never raises his voice and proves over and over they indeed listen better to a calm and controlled command. This is just the opposite of what you would think and do but in reality talking louder or faster is showing them you are nervous, anxious or not in control. Therefore the command will fail. The first time I called Nick for help, he never once said this problem could not be fixed as the last 4 trainers had; rather, he met with the babies, evaluated them right away and within minutes determined our male was not an aggressive dog by nature but was showing anxiety behavior and he indeed could help him by working with all of us. We have made so many strides and finding Nick was the answer to our prayers. Nick gives the parents/owners the training tools to correct the behavior, and explains the rationale behind each step. He does not train them per say. He trains the parents. We are actively involved every step of the way. And the positive results are astonishing. We and our babies look forward to our visits with Nick. They love him and when they see him they cry with delight. Nick is always available for our dogs, 24/7. Recently we had an emergency with our male Rottie and Nick changed his entire schedule around to be there to support us and actually go the veterinarian center with my husband. How unique and personable is that? Nick is part of our family now and forever. HE IS SUCH A GIFT and the best decision we ever made. Barb and Mark Sadler
Rick was very helpful with our dog.He was punctual,courteous and related to our pet.He praised us for the things we were doing right and told us how long the process might take and to give love and patience.great experience for us!
Nick is a professional and expert in dog behavior and training. He has helped tremendously with our two dogs. He is very responsive and always available if needed. We can’t thank him enough for all of his help! I would highly recommend Nick and his services if you are in need of a true professional dog trainer!
