Testimonials
We first heard of The DogPa by word of mouth! We called 3 trainers and Nicholas was the first trainer to contact us! I was impressed by his quick response as I thought it was great customer service. We booked several beginner training sessions with Nicholas for our 8 month old Pug, Ellie. Our goal was to have Ellie be well trained and behaved so she could go to a lot of places with us. We needed her to have good social manners and not jumping on people. We were grateful how easy Nicholas made the training for us and Ellie. He helped us understand that a dog needs simple one word commands, structure and routine and some fun play time added in throughout the day! Nicholas not only trained our Pug, but he taught us a lot about dogs and their behavior. Today Ellie goes with us in stores and she is a sweetie pie and sits like she is asked to and most everyone wants to come up and see her to pet her. She’s calm, and very friendly. She’s turned into a happy girl and we know it’s from the training she received from Nicholas!
We plan to have occasional dog training refresher classes in the future with Nicholas!
I highly recommend The DogPa to anyone! Our dog is happier for the training she received!

Nick at DogPa K9 Training is fantastic! We took our English Cream Retriever puppy and he was fantastic with her! He is very patient and you can sure tell he loves his job! We left there with all the directions needed to continue our work at home. He is always available for any questions you may have. Highly recommend him for all your puppy/dog training needs! Ruby says he has the best treats in Omaha!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Nicholas Bell and DogPa K9. From the very first session, it was clear that he not only understands dogs but also knows how to teach their humans effectively. We worked together at his training space, my work and home, and I was very happy with the progress my dog and I made.
Not only did my dog respond so well to his methods, but I also gained valuable knowledge and confidence as an owner. Nicholas has a calm but commanding presence that made the entire process enjoyable and valuable. He’s patient, professional, and clearly passionate about what he does.
Beyond that, he’s just a genuinely nice person, that I now consider a friend. If you’re looking for a dog trainer who truly cares and can deliver amazing results, I highly recommend Nicholas Bell at DogPa K9.
