Testimonials
“Nick is an awesome dog trainer! Gizmo, our Chorkie (Chihuahua/Yorkie), graduated from Puppy 1 Puppy 2 & the AKC Canine Good Citizen program with Nick as his trainer in each of them. Gizmo was an only child in our very quiet house so when we brought him to the first program, he was very shy. I also had doubts about whether toy breed dogs could actually be trained so I came to class very skeptical. Nick worked patiently as Gizmo dealt with his anxiety of being around strangers and other dogs. As Gizmo progressed, my faith in training a toy breed grew. Not only does Nick have a love for animals, but he also understands animal psychology and teaches using positive reinforcement. Nick spent just as much time educating us as parents so we would be able to continue the learned skills at home. He also helped educate us on canine nutrition and helped us select a healthy, good quality dog food. It is now 3 years later and Gizmo is still following commands and enjoying a great life! I would certainly recommend Nick to any and all people looking for dog training done via pure love.”
