FirstBarkNathan is not just a great trainer—he has a rare gift for reading dogs and understanding what they’re communicating. That ability to recognize specific behaviors and adjust accordingly makes him an incredible asset in the dog world. I would trust him with any dog.

We are very grateful for the work Nathan from Good Dog Ink9 has already done with our dogs. We have two alpha males—our family Cane Corso and a rescue Anatolian Shepherd mix—and their aggression toward each other made even walking them together stressful and overwhelming. Nathan came to our home and immediately brought structure, calm, and confidence into the situation. He worked hands-on with both dogs and showed us how to properly hold the leash, how and when to correct, and how important it is to stay calm since dogs feed off our energy. That alone was a huge eye-opener. By the end of the session, we saw real improvement and finally felt hopeful that our dogs can learn to coexist peacefully and live together like brothers. Because of the progress we saw, we’ve already committed to four more sessions. If you’re dealing with aggression, strong breeds, or introducing a rescue into your family, I highly recommend Nathan and Good Dog Ink9
Nathan trained my Boujee girl. He came highly recommended and lived up to his reputation. I am forever grateful to have him as an expert regarding dog behavior. When I picked up my dog she was a totally different dog. He follows through which is a wonderful quality. His knowledge is unremarkable.
I highly recommend good dog ink9 We’re new dog owners and having issues with our puppy. Nathan consulted with us and gave us a lot of advice and information on in and outs of raising her. So far she’s doing great with what he advised us to do. My family and our puppy are adjusting to the training.Im so grateful for Nathan’s help.
If you're looking for a dog trainer who is not only skilled but also compassionate and committed to your dog's success, I wholeheartedly recommend Nathan! I am so grateful for the positive impact he had on my dog. The training sessions were enjoyable for both me and my dog.
