FirstBarkJodi did an amazing job with training not only my dog but me! This is the first time I’ve owned a dog and after completing this training, I feel more confident with how to train my dog and things to watch for. My dog absolutely loves her and was so happy throughout the whole training!

Can’t recommend nate and his team enough! We got a puppy german shepherd, and the one thing we wanted to make sure was that we would be able to take him everywhere with us, and that he would behave! Nate and his team did this for us! From a dog that constantly pulled on walks, he is a true gentleman that listens and follows direction on walks and at home. Our pup listens to everything we say now with no more than two prompts. When other dogs lose their minds and bark at onyx on walks as he passes by, Onyx keeps his head forward and keeps walking like he doesn’t even notice them. Nate’s team brought Onyx back after 2 weeks at their bootcamp and he was a new puppy and we are so thankful for that.

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Bowsers Dog training. Our 5-year-old dog has struggled with separation anxiety for years and we were looking for a board and train program to get some additional training and support . A coworker had a great experience with Bowser’s and highly recommended them. We decided to invest in a board and train program and are happy we did. From our first meeting with Nate and Jodi, we felt confident our pup would be in caring hands .The team took the time to understand his specific needs and tailored a training plan that focused not just on obedience, but more importantly, on confidence-building and helping him feel secure when alone. They kept us updated with photos, videos, and progress reports, and when it was time to bring him home, they brought him to us provided clear instructions and support to help us maintain the progress. This program includes 8 in home session 4 before and 4 after which have been invaluable . We will definitely use them for all of our future boarding needs as well!
We sent our 8month old puppy to bootcamp and we now have such a better grip on training her. They also have worked with us on our other dog in the home on how to tailor training for both dogs to make sure the puppy didn’t end up learning bad habits. We even got to send our other dog for drill camp to train together. I would definitely recommend!

Back in January my dog got into some major fights, to the point where wounds had to be cleaned, people got injured and I had given up hope. We reached out to Nate and his team and my pack has never been better. Echo spent 2 week at boot camp and learned so much, Summit spent several days there as well. Ever since coming home mid April we have been following advice from Nate and his team and couldn’t be happier.
