We did a board and train and Nicholas got our 6 month old puppy on the right track. We see a big difference in his self control. Before he was kind of at loose ends, not knowing what to do, acting impulsively, but now his behavior seems purposeful. And he is so happy! Nicholas is knowledgeable and makes training times fun for the dog as well as instructive. We highly recommend him!

Nick is the best! Bala loves him! He has taught both me and Bala so much. Airedales are not easy dogs to train and I am forever thankful to Nick for the training and love he has given Bala. Bala had problems settling down around other dogs and Nick sure helped with that! I have boarded Bala with Nick several times and I am always confident that she is safe with him. Sometimes I think she rather stay with him! Thank you Nick!

5 Stars ā Highly Recommend! I canāt say enough good things about Caine Connoisseur. Nicholas has not only trained my dog, Niko, but has also watched him multiple times while Iāve been out of town. Nicholas is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and above allātrustworthy. What really sets him apart is his unmatched flexibility and dedication. Iāve had last-minute changes to my travel plans and Nicholas has always accommodated without hesitation. In this line of work, that level of reliability and care is truly rare. Niko absolutely loves himāheās always excited to see Nicholas, which says it all. Iāve even recommended his services to friends, and they too had a fantastic experience. If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, I 100% recommend Caine Connoisseur. You and your pup will be in excellent hands!
Canine connoisseur went above and beyond to help me with my dog. When I first meet Nick the trainer I was so scared because my dog had some major obedience issues. With Nicks patients and guidance my dog is able to have a life outside my own back yard. Nick has helped our family so much and I canāt thank him enough.

We are so grateful for the training we received! Our shelter dog, Nori, came with some challenges, and thanks to Nicholas, we not only saw amazing progress in our petās behavior but also gained a much deeper understanding of animal behavior ourselves. Nicholas is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. Their training methods are effective, compassionate, and always focused on setting both the dog and owner up for success. Itās clear they truly care about the well-being of animals and the families they work with. Because of this training, we feel confident that weāre providing the best possible life for our rescue dog. We couldnāt recommend Canine Connoisseur highly enough!
