Equilibrium Canine

We feel incredibly grateful to have crossed paths with Nick a year ago. Even after working with different trainers, we had struggled for a long time with our dog's anxious behavior and reactivity. Nick has not only helped us connect more with Mia and better understand her and what she needs from us to live a calmer, happier life, but he has taught us so much about how to better understand dogs in general. We have a better relationship with our dog now, stronger communication with her, and we have improved on so many issues with her reactivity and nerves, including meeting new people, coexisting with our cats and having a more calm temperament overall. Nick is direct and honest with his feedback, but also patient, kind and deeply cares that you succeed with his guidance. His knowledge and passion for helping humans understand and connect with their dogs is unprecedented. If you are looking for a trainer who is committed to seeing you and your dog succeed, Nick is your guy! We cannot recommend him enough.

We’ve had an incredibly positive experience working with Nick and our 7 year old dog Chance. Chance had reactivity issues both inside and outside the home, particularly around strangers, and Nick’s methods and training have completely transformed Chance’s demeanor and behaviors. Through Nick’s patience, dedication and clear communication, we’ve built a much stronger connection with Chance as owners and now have the confidence to help guide Chance through any stress-inducing situations he may face. We can’t recommend Nick any more highly and are so grateful for all he had done and continues to do with us and Chance!

Nick is a miracle worker. Our rescue was always a sweetheart with the family but very reactive to strangers – to the point that friends wouldn’t visit us. We always thought he was just protective of the family. 10 minutes with Nick and he knew our dog wasn't being protective - he was terrified. The prescription was he needed to learn to trust us as his owners to guide and protect him in the human world. We signed our dog up for the 6-week board and train with Nick. More importantly, we spent many of the following Saturdays with Nick learning to become better owners ourselves. Namely, how to support and guide our dog so that he would learn to trust us with his safety implicitly. The results speak for themselves. 6 months after picking up our dog from Nick, we took him in-cabin on a 4-hour flight from Boston to Denver. He was a perfect angel – in the uber to the airport, getting patted down in security, in the buffet line at the airport lounge, on board with every child who walked past lunging to pet him, etc. Nick is worth every penny. Highly recommended.
