I don’t know what we would have done without Nick! We adopted an 8-month-old mixed breed dog who refused to come home after a walk. With Nick’s help, walks went from something we would dread to something we truly enjoyed in a matter of weeks!
We tried watching YouTube videos, but they were too generic and sometimes the approaches they recommended had the opposite effect and things got worse. As SOON as we got help from Nick, we saw positive results with our pup. Since then, Nick has helped us deal with a range of challenging adolescent behaviour — from biting and negative attention seeking with houseguests to our dog's paralysing fear of doors.
Nick has been able to help us better understand Sam’s motivations and needs, and set clear expectations for how and why certain training methods should work. He’s also very receptive to feedback and adjusting his training plan based on Sam’s response. Nick has been so thorough in how he gathers a broad range of information that creates a holistic view of our dog, then tailors a personalized training plan that's easy to follow, provides lots of resources where we want to go deeper, and ultimately gets results!
Sometimes I feel like Nick is part therapist and part dog trainer — he’s so engaged, supportive and truly cares how things are going with Sam, even outside of our sessions. He’s extremely patient with us—and the dog—and we couldn’t recommend him more!
