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 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.

Before we started, we were starting to lose hope in training our German Shepard. Curtis came out and on the first day he showed us what our dog was really capable of. Fast forward one week and he’s already learned a near perfect heel, and ignoring dogs passing by. We couldn’t be happier with our progress so far.

If you’re looking for a dog trainer, I highly recommend META Canine Academy! I couldn’t be more thankful that Nick came into Rocco and I’s lives. Before training, my dog was leash reactive, fearful of other dogs and people, and anxious. Since working with Nick, I’ve seen Rocco’s confidence grow so much which has helped me become a more confident dog owner. From the first day of training, I could tell that Nick knew what he was doing and loved his job. He specifically tailored each training session to fit my dog’s needs and was able to get him to work around different dogs and people. The way he was able to connect with Rocco has been so heartwarming to witness and I appreciate how he treated my dog as his own. I now feel like I have the right tools to diffuse my dog’s anxiety when we are out in public and I find much more enjoyment in going on long walks with him. Thank you so much Nick and META Canine Academy, Rocco and I will miss seeing you everyday!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nick and I am thrilled with the results. As a dog owner, I was struggling with my dog's behavior issues such as reactivity to other dogs and kids but Nick came to my rescue and made a significant difference in my dog's behavior. From the very first session, I was impressed with his professionalism, expertise, and compassionate approach towards my dog. Not only did Nick addressed the specific issues I was facing with my dog, but he also took the time to understand my dog's personality, temperament, and individual needs. He tailored the training sessions to suit my dog's unique requirements in which I found incredibly thoughtful and effective. Nick also patiently guided me on how to reinforce the training at home, and provided me with valuable tips and techniques to continue the progress between sessions. What I appreciated most about Nick is his positive and gentle approach towards training. It was evident that he genuinely cares about the well-being of my dog. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of professional dog training. His expertise, patience, and dedication have made a remarkable difference in my dog's behavior and I am grateful for his guidance and support.
