FirstBarkNick takes the time to really individualize the training to your dog. Even an experienced handler like myself benefited from his training. It truly was magic with the problems he fixed for me! New puppy owners or adult problems he can help with such care!! He's the best trainer I've met in winchester no questions asked!

Our morty is working nick Otto! We think he is winchesters dog whisperer. Learned so much in just 2 sessions!!!
Nick has been awesome with our dog who has reactive aggression. Nick works with the client's schedule and is great training the whole picture: parents, kids, and dogs!
I have a 1 year old working line German shepherd boy and Nick has helped us learn how to work with him so even when we’re playing he gets to have fun as he’s learning obedience and getting out his energy too. I would highly recommend him!
So far we've done one initial consult with Nick at his house, and he has come to our house to work with our German Shepherd on his issues with anxiety-driven barking when visitors come to our house.

So far we've done one initial consult with Nick at his house, and he has come to our house to work with our German Shepherd on his issues with anxiety-driven barking when visitors come to our house. Already we're seeing a difference in our pup's behavior. The great thing is Nick is focused on setting us and our dog up for success, and helping us to get into good habits for reinforcing our dog's good behavior, while correcting and addressing where he is falling short. We're looking forward to helping our boy become the best version of himself with Nick's guidance!
