FirstBarkI just had my first training session with Nick. He made our training fun, but my lab Freddie learned a lot and really responded to Nick. I would highly recommend him. His love of dogs really shines through in his training methods.

Nick is an excellent dog trainer. We had a very excited and energetic rescue who loved escaping. Nick immediately formed a bond with our pup ( Glacier), and in a very short time our new pup was following commands, walking off lead, and truly a transformed dog. Nick is very passionate, flexible, and truly cares about pets and making the process successful. If you need a dog trainer in Winchester, VA I would highly recommend giving Nick and IJK9 a call.

Today was our first day with Nick, he drove out to my home. He was kind and gentle, but firm with my very exuberant pit mix, 11 mo old, Jesse. We reinforced stay, down, and leave it. (I think he had more trouble training me than the dog.) I hope to do better next week and look forward to our next session. If you are looking for a trainer, give Nick a call and arrange a greet and meet with him and your dog, no obligation or charge. Most likely you will find a trainer and make a friend.
Very knowledgeable. My dog loves him
He is a very knowledgeable and great trainer. Highly recommend
