The Nature Coast Dog Trainer --- Through clear communication, skillful application of training knowledge, and experience your dog will learn how to learn and with mutual respect begin to enjoy training and the process. He/she will learn that they are in control of what happens both good and bad and learn to make the right choices which is empowering and builds confidence.
I only take one dog at a time in my family board and train. Your dog will be immersed in the training in a modern 3 bedroom home with a pool and with the best trainer on the Nature Coast. My promise to you is no one will take better care of your dog than me.
One-on-one private training and group classes. Give me a call or shoot me a email I would love to talk with you

I Would highly recommend Jerry over anyone else. I knew I had a smart Dog in Mila - I just didn't realize how mush potential she had and smart she was. Jerry has helped break those bad habits that had formed in Mila, brought out her potential, and also given me the tools and knowledge to continue bringing out the best in her as well. Jerry spent the time needed with us every week -- we did the work at home to get ready for the next session -- and it paid off!! The final session was training in a pubic setting at Lowes the night before Hurricane Milton!

We walked into The Nature Coast Dog Trainer with high hopes. We had no idea what to expect, but were completely lacking in leadership skills. Our 9.5 month old Boxer, Winston was lacking confidence. Day 1, we could see Jerry build his trust. He was patient, and introduced his training methods slowly and in a way where Winston never seemed uncomfortable. Together, we went every week and watched Jerry work wonders with Winston. Our timid confused little man blossomed into a completely different dog! One who had confidence and the drive to learn. We took him home every week and practiced the skills we were taught, and now we are the proud parents of a completely different dog. One we feel confident taking out in public. If you pay attention in class, put in the work at home and stay consistent with your dog, I can promise you will be 100% satisfied with the results. (We were enrolled in the 5 week private sessions.)

Jerry is one of the best dog trainers that I've ever experienced, within 24 hours I received my first video of Rex and it was a night and day difference with his training and behavior. I've trained my great Dane but I struggled with Rex. I've trained Rex up to this point, to be my service dog and I needed Jerry to help we're some behavioral issues and comand recognition. And I would have to say in 2 weeks I cannot believe how good rex's done and it's all thanks to jerry walker and the nature coast dog trainer.Thank you, jerry, for everything you've done.And I look forward to working with you again in the future. Jerry Walker let me know that 2 week training may not correct all of Rex's behavior but us meaning me and my family and Jerry were all impressed how quick everything was picked up and how well he did. And I credit that to Jerry and his training program. Thank you, Jerry.

5/5Jerry, thank you for taking the time with Zeus. Hes just a young pup at 11 weeks old, but 2 hrs with you and he picked things up quickly. You really made sure that I understood how to communicate with him, or any dog for that matter. Can't wait to come back when he is older .

Zeus came home yesterday after being with Jerry for a month. A month was hard but we knew this is what he needed. Within hours of the first day Jerry also knew Zeus needed alot of work.
Zeus had no confidence or if any, very low confidence. He was very emotional with separation anxiety.
Jerry kept me updated with lots of videos and pictures. As the month went by if go back to the first couple of videos and then watch the latest, you could see amazing results.
We have Zeus back and though he's different ( a good different) he's still OUR Zeus. It's like having a Dog that had no manners, to a dog that now has manners and respect and I think he's showing off a little. Jerry took over an hour to go over everything he taught Zeus with my wife and I. Very informative and professional
Thanks Jerry and Connie
We all thank you!!

After trying other trainers we were fortunate enough to find this Dog Training guy. This guy got our English Bulldog (Stubbon to the nth degree) to walk with a loose leash, sit and stop when I stopped, lay down when asked and not distracted by door bells or UPS etc, and she loved every minute of training, highly recommend Jerry, a must if you want an obedient dog.
