The DogPa K9 Training

When we got our puppy, we decided she needed to be trained by someone who knew what they were doing. My wife found Nicholas via the Internet, and she called and talked to him. We decided to give him a try....and it was the best decision we could have made for her. With Nicholas, not only does he train the dog, but he trains the human as well. We knew right away that he was who we needed, and at the first session, we signed up right away for more. He is a patient, caring individual who obviously loves what he does, and truly cares about each and every animal that he crosses paths with.

We first heard of The DogPa by word of mouth! We called 3 trainers and Nicholas was the first trainer to contact us! I was impressed by his quick response as I thought it as great customer service. We booked several beginner training sessions with Nicholas for our 8 month old Pug, Ellie. Our goal was to have Ellie be well trained and behaved so she could go to a lot of places with us. We needed her to have good social manners and not jumping on people. We were grateful how easy Nicholas made the training for us and Ellie. He helped us understand that a dog needs simple one word commands, structure and routine and some fun play time added in throughout the day! Nicholas not only trained our Pug, but he taught us a lot about dogs and their behavior. Today Ellie goes with us in stores and she is a sweetie pie and sits like she is asked to and most everyone wants to come up and see her to pet her. She’s calm, and very friendly. She’s turned into a happy girl and we know it’s from the training she received from Nicholas! We plan to have occasional dog training refresher classes in the future with Nicholas! I highly recommend The DogPa to anyone! Our dog is happier for the training she received!
