The team at M.E.T.A. Is outstanding. I appreciate their wholistic approach to training, and the results are remarkable! My dog can be stubborn. Since working with Nick at M.E.T.A,. she is well trained. She responds to my commands promptly, and we are both happier because we understand each other. Thank you for the great work at a great value. Well worth it!

We used M.E.T.A canine for our Australian Shepard we adopted from the pound. We had a really hard time training her on our own and interviewed multiple trainers to help. Once we met Nick and Jayda we knew they would be perfect for our dog. They were so patient with her and completely changed our dog in 4 weeks. We were able to walk her on our own because she was so reactive to other dogs, but now after our dog and us have been trained we can take our dog out in public. We are so thankful for them and highly recommend!!!

I wasn’t able to have my big dog around any other dogs but after the training from Nick and Jayda she is like a different dog. She heels and can walk at the park again . We weren’t sure if we could keep her because she was a rescue with very bad behavior and it’s really helped our dogs quality of life. Would highly recommend .

Over the years I’ve worked with various trainers and Nick is one of the very best! My dog, Maya, is a rescue that had been abused and was fearful of men but Nick’s patience, skill and demeanor helped Maya overcome her reaction to fearful situations. She is still timid but no longer exhibiting fearful aggression. And, as a bonus Maya is comfortable walking on a leash and responds to several new commands. Thank you Nick!!
