Testimonials
“Zack of Nextdoor K9 did a great job with the behavior modification training with my new rescue. Enzo was a 5 year old, 115lb., unsocialized Cane Corso in much need of confidence. Enzo was scared of the wind, balloons, pretty much everything, especially men. Being way past the ideal window for socialization was a hurdle that could not be helped and Zack was honest about what my expectations should be. Zack took things at the best pace possible and built a real relationship with Enzo. I was kept abreast of Enzo’s progress via daily texts and weekly videos. Zack made Enzo part of his family for the duration of his stay and even took him on excursions with his children. Enzo was exposed to many new situations and his confidence has improved greatly. Enzo is sure that the lumber carts at Lowe’s are for him to ride since Zack used them in his training. This is going to be a lifelong process and Zack has given both Enzo and myself the necessary skills for success. For this reason I can take Enzo wherever I need to. Since his return from training Zack has followed up with in-person sessions on Enzo’s turf which were extremely helpful. I take Enzo to work with me so Zack came to my job site to help with safety concerns. Zack is always available for questions and concerns is quick to reply. We are thrilled that Enzo will soon be going to Zack’s for continued one-on-one training in his new daycare program. This will keep Enzo’s training fresh and on track! Heartfelt thanks go out to Zack at Nextdoor K9 for life changing tools for Enzo and our family. Best choice I could have made.”

“Zach worked with our 15 month old Great Pyrenees who had some confidence issues that we were worried would turn into agNext-door! He did 3 weeks in house and then Zack came out to our house (over an hour away!) multiple times to work with our dog and us! Walter listens much better now, doesn’t jump on people without being invited, and is overall much better behaved without losing his sense of protection and guardianship! My wife and I are very pleased with Zack and the team at Nextdoor!”

“Our trainer was Zack, he has a great disposition, extremely knowledgeable concerning dog training. Zack genuinely cares about maximizing the training of dogs in his career. Our dog is a 2 yr. Old Rottweiler named Brutus, we were having issues with him pulling when being walked, we had to give basic commands over and over, he was easily distracted, not to mention he is very strong. Zack met our every concern with his training regiment, he even asked us if he could keep Brutus 2 extra days to fine tooth the distraction issue. Our Brutus was picked up by Zack & dropped back home by Zack. He worked with us concerning pricing. They have options to meet your needs. We are extremely glad we had Zack as our trainer, our pup Brutus is easy to walk, no tugging or pulling, and he doesn’t get distracted. Zack sent us weekly videos by email, and when he returned Brutus home to us he explained in detail exactly the training regiment, and he even gave us brand new training collars (prong-collar & electronic-collar), and explained how to use them. We’re grateful that we were able to have Zack as our dog’s trainer, it was the best money I’ve ever spent, he did exactly what we needed him to do. Thank you Zack, you’re the best.”

How to Get Started!
Client engagement begins with an initial contact to discuss the dog’s behavioral issues. Trainer Zack visits the home to pick up the dog for boarding, during which he observes the dog’s environment and routine. Clients are invited to share concerns and expectations before training begins. For day training or in-home sessions, scheduling is arranged directly with Zack.
