I adopted a 10 month old pug chihuahua mix, Tommy, from a rescue and he was severely fearful and could tell he had never been trained. After implementing strategies from Nates book and doing the training sessions he has significantly improved. He's now leash trained and walks by my side, no longer afraid of passing cars & people. He's comfortable with Nate's dogs and has been comfortable with multiple people petting him. Definitely see a difference from the training!
Nate has been Amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Nate has been incredible to work with! He helped me understand the psychology behind my dogs in a way no other trainer ever has. On the very first day, I was able to walk both dogs calmly right at my side — something I never thought was possible. He brings several of his own extremely well-trained dogs to support the training, and it makes such a difference. Nate is always available, goes out of his way to make sure you and your dogs are taken care of, and genuinely understands dogs on a deeper level. His approach is so much more than “sit, stay, shake.” It’s real behavior work and mindset training. If you want someone who truly gets dogs, Nate is the trainer you need. He even has a book on Amazon that dives into his methods. Highly recommend.
We acquired a 14-month large breed, hyperactive dog from a breeder. I would not place our dog in the category of a rescue; however, we were able to use Nate's training to work our dog into a great addition for our family. Be sure to hire Nate to help you and your new pup, young or old. We noticed a marked improvement after the first session! We are so much more confident now in our abilities to manage our large dog and can comfortably say he will live a great life with us. Money well spent if you ask me!
My 8 month old Aussie mix suddenly became fearful of shadows and cars. It was so bad, we could barely take her in the backyard to potty. After 1 session we could take her on walks in our neighborhood! I wouldn’t have believed it myself if I didn’t experience it first hand. Nate has also helped us with our leash reactive dogs. Our home and our walks are so much more enjoyable. We feel empowered as dog parents. I highly recommend Nate!
Our one-year-old German Shepherd/ Pit Bull mix puppy was very reactive which made walking on a leash very overwhelming and stressful. She would bark and react to any dog or person who would walk by. We had worked with a previous dog trainer but failed to see any improvements. After meeting with Nate for only about 10 minutes, our puppy Hazel improved immediately. We learned how to provide structure for her on walks. Learning how to walk her had also improved her behavior at home. Before, we thought our puppy didn’t like other dogs. At our second session, Hazel was able to run and play with his well-trained dogs. Nate taught us that she was just a little insecure and needed socialization and structure. Nate provided us with many unique training opportunities. From private sessions in the home to group sessions in a pet store. We also brought Hazel in because of her fear of getting her nails trimmed. We had been turned away by countless groomers because it was impossible to just touch her paws. Nate worked with us and taught us to practice and help Hazel feel more comfortable with getting her nails trimmed. Now, we can file her nails ourselves with little problems. We cannot recommend Nate enough. We are so happy with the results of this training experience. Nate gave us the tools and knowledge on how to live a more positive life with Hazel. Thank you, Nate!
