About
I’m Nick, I’ve been around dogs all my life. Over the last 7 years I’ve worked with fosters, rescues, and other dog trainers to build and rehabilitate dogs. Through those experiences I’ve develop the tools and techniques that I use to successfully train and rehabilitate dogs. If you should choose to work with my team and I, our goal is to work with you to create a strong relationship between you and your dog and to help you develop a well mannered, obedient, and balanced dog.

Nick is awesome! From the consultation over the phone to him meeting our dog for the first time, he was able to give so much info and pin point what we needed to work on. He gave pointers and feedback in depth going step by step on what to do. It’ll be work but we know with Nick’s help our dog will be 100% trained :)

We just worked with Nick today for the first time. He checked all the boxes for what we were hoping for as a dog trainer. He was very observant, knowledgeable, kind and has excellent insight into how to with with dogs. I am looking forward to a continued relationship with him. Highly recommend!

Nick is an incredibly honest, patient, and knowledgeable trainer. I brought my dog in for a consultation, and he took all the time necessary to listen to her full background and truly understand where we’re starting from. After play-testing her, he shared his analysis and insights in a way that felt thoughtful and professional. We talked through my goals, and he was not only understanding but also realistic, giving me a clear, rough plan of how we can work toward them. As a woman, it can sometimes be difficult to find a trainer who genuinely listens to the kind of goals you want for your dog and understands the approach you’re looking for. With Nick, I felt completely comfortable and confident. I’ll be moving forward with our training, and I highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a trainer who truly takes the time to understand your needs, your dog’s needs, and who is transparent about what it takes to achieve your goals.

Whenever I consult Nick (owner and operator of Nick’s K9 Services) about my dog’s training, he consistently pinpoints the cause of my dog's behavior and offers solutions that are both effective and efficient. I always feel comfortable reaching out between visits, and he takes the time to understand both me and my dog so his solutions truly fit our needs. Even with my little ‘velcro dog,’ who isn’t bred for specific tasks, Nick quickly finds approaches that work—with practice and patience. His insight is remarkable; he truly seems to speak the language of dogs.
