Nick did an amazing job helping us train our French Bulldogs; not just one but 2 in the same time. They went from bad behavior to very well-behaved, obedient dogs. After 2 visits, our dogs were excited and looking forward to meet and work with him. Nick was patient, professional, and truly cared about our dogs’ progress. His small details helped us big time. We saw real results and couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!

We wanted to wait to the end of the year to share our wonderful experience with Nick . It’s been a few weeks since we completed our training. From the moment we walked into the room with Nova Nick kind of took charge; our consultation felt like an actual teaching session for Nova and us. Nick understood Nova so well in just that first hour. It felt like we were working with the ultimate dog whisperer. After a 10 day intensive training with Nick coming to our home, Nova is really a changed dog. She stopped pulling on our walks; she calms quickly around other dogs , and most importantly has learned to chill when the door rings and people come over. We cannot recommend Nick highly enough; he is a pleasure to work with and has definitely taught us so much about our reactive dog Nova that we enjoy hanging out with her even more.

We had a great experience working with Nick! We worked with him from the moment we brought our Weimaraner puppy home. He was easy to communicate with, approachable and very patient with all of our emails and anxious questions ;) One of the things we appreciated most about Nick’s approach is that he focused on training us to train our dog. Because of that, we now feel like we have a solid foundation to be able to handle challenges that might come up, even ones we haven’t specifically covered. Nick explains things clearly and uses real-world examples that help you understand not only what to do, but why you’re doing it. He made even the trickier concepts feel simple and manageable, and we never felt overwhelmed by the tasks he gave us to practice between lessons. What truly sets Nick apart is his deep understanding of both dog behavior and human behavior. He knew exactly how to guide us, reassure us, and help us build confidence while teaching our dog in a positive and effective way. Our lessons were always enjoyable and relaxed and we saw consistent progress from week to week. It’s clear that Nick is passionate about what he does and thanks to him, we’re able to enjoy our dog and are off to a great start with him at only 6 months old. We’re so grateful for his guidance and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, kind and supportive dog trainer! Michelle, Hussein and Walter

I have had 2 sessions with Nick. My dog had been highly reactive her entire life. She’s 5yrs old. Never did I imagine I’d have a dog lie down and relax infront of the TV. She barks and lunges at animals bicycles - the list goes on…After being taught how to correct her she’s learning to relax and her reactivity had reduced drastically. Nick is beyond knowledgeable and helped me understand the WHY behind the training. I can’t wait to see her progress over the next few weeks, if after such a short time she’s improved already. I have a way to go, but after years of failed training with trainers who couldn’t help me I have finally found someone who is actually succeeding in helping my dog !

I brought my 2-year old german shepherd mix to Nick because of his increasing aggression. He'd bitten several times, including me. Walks with him were a constant source of stress, having to constantly dodge and avoid people and other dogs. My anxiety was through the roof, and I was honestly thinking of giving Bruno up. Well, it's 3 weeks after our Board & Train program and the reviews don't lie -- Nick delivered! I now have a very well-mannered dog who looks to me for guidance
