Nick came to help us with our Shepard puppy and he was so impressive and he was great with our pup. He was kind and very patient with us and took as much time to explain things so we could understand what we need to understand . Thank you Nick

Nick started working with my daughter and her dog Dahlia a few weeks ago. After just two sessions we saw immediate improvement. She went from being overreactive and excited to controlled and responsive. Nick is skilled in seeing things us average dog parents tend to overlook. Thankfully Nick has the skills to teach my daughter and myself how to be the leaders of our Doberman. We are truly grateful for K9 National Services.
