Nick from Meta K9 is a fantastic trainer. Our Golden Doodle puppy was a handful. Being 71 years old I had to wonder what was I thinking getting a puppy. Thanks to Nick his training worked wonders. Our dog does not pull on the leash when walking, she has stopped aggressive biting, her barking is under control and she follows our commands. Nick addressed our puppy concerns until the end and then some. We highly recommend Nick and Meta K9.

Nick is a terrific trainer.  He knows his stuff and is gentle and patient with all dogs.  My dog, Buddee has learned a lot in 2 weeks and now, with Nick’s training of me, I have the knowledge to continue with Buddee’s training.  I’d recommend Nick without hesitation. You will enjoy working with him and you and your dog will learn lots.

Nick worked with my dog Bruno for 2 weeks in which we introduced the prong, socialized Bruno, and used the e collar. Nick was great at answering all my questions and guiding me through the training drills. Bruno has greatly improved at listening on walks and not reacting to other dogs.

Nick is amazing. Not only does he know his stuff but he is kind and takes the time that’s needed to address the issue rather than just rushing through. I highly recommend.

Nick is a fantastic trainer! He is very patient and talented. My puppy Mochi used to be very reactive to dogs; he is a tough boy, and now he is much better after the 4-week session. I’m happy that I have found Nick and worked with him.
