First of all, I could not have taken this trip across the country with Hazel if it wasn’t for the work you did with hazel and I. I am able to do almost everything with her because of you! I am confident to put her in most situations and feel in control. We are a great team. I would have never done this journey if I didn’t have Hazel by my side. With your help, I have a dog I dreamt of having.

Thank you again Nick for all that you have done for us.

I was surprised with 89 reviews and 5 star rating for a dog trainer and was wondering how come everyone is so satisfied with the training techniques that not even a single bad review, reading almost all the reviews I wanted to try for my Dog Tiger (I tried almost all the trainers in my area) he goes by his name tiger he was a real beast when I came to see Nick my dog was pulling like wild on leash when he see another dog most of the time he go wild. I tried board and train for my dog for 3 weeks, I went to take him back and he was completely changed it was a dream come true watching my dog behaving well mannered and disciplined I got the transfer lesson with my dog so that I can understand my dog better the way he was trained.
Now my dog is more focused he listens to me and obeys all thanks to Nick for his training and techniques.
This guy needs more than 10 stars.
Thanks Nick for saving precious lives and making them a wonderful part of the family.
God Bless You

I sent my beautiful Iggy Cheryl to be trained by Nick for three weeks. She is the sweetest little thing, however we lacked proper communication skills to set boundaries with her regarding biting and disobedience. Although it was difficult to leave her for 3 weeks, we knew she was in good hands. She came back a completely transformed dog. Nick taught her commands and provided us with tools to properly communicate with her and set boundaries. We are forever grateful for Nick and would highly recommend him.

We chose Nick at Family K9 to train our (then) 7 month sheepadoodle with the 3-week board and train program, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Nick has given us (and Nukka) the tools and technique to communicate effectively. We were having a little trouble with her heeling after a few weeks and went back for a quick refresh and practice, and it’s going super well. She learned how to stay in “place” for extended periods of time which has been SO helpful in a variety of situations. We will definitely send our next puppy to Nick for training!

We brought our 4.5month old Pitbull mix, Mila, to Nick for his 3-week in-kennel program in Mid-November. What Nick does can’t fully be explained in a Google review, but I can try to sum it up. His training is the closest you’ll get to having actual, meaningful communication with your dog, with WAY less frustration. He taught Mila how to listen and more importantly, taught us how to communicate with her.
