Question on Google
I’m desperate. I have a four-year old shusky(shelherd-husky) who is a biter. He goes after anyone who comes on property and he has bitten family members who have come to visit. With me he is gentle and loving but won’t listen to commands.????

i would not hesitate to call Nik Sharma at K-9 National Services. he has been AMAZING with our aggressive pup. we were desperate also but now, after maybe a month or a little longer, things are looking up. incredible. and we had a previous trainer who told us our dog was hopeless. same with a friend of mine. i promise you will not be disappointed with K-9 National.

I wish there was a way for me to leave zero stars. I saw a review where a woman paid $220 to have him throw water at her dog and Nick replied that it was a fake review. Ummm no! It was a very REAL review. And we paid $200 for him to throw water on our dog. I asked if there was going to be a structured plan in place? Nick responded with, Yes we will help with his confidence and leash manners after he stops jumping. I have not heard back. I asked if it was going to be $200 each visit. Still, I hear nothing back. So if you want to pay $200 dollars to have water thrown at your dog, Nick is your dude. This is not a fake review, this is a review from a very dissatisfied customer. I get you can't please everyone, but $200 to throw water on him is ridiculous. That was all that was done. I feel ripped off and cheated. What a disservice done to my dog, myself, and my family. I know this place has great reviews, but I didn't get the help that I read other people supposedly received. Seems like the great reviews are fake and the 'fake' ones are real.

K9 National Services is simply “The Best”. Nikhil Sharma is a gifted certified dog trainer. We love our dog, but his energy level and strong-willed disposition posed many challenges for us as his new owners. Without a question, Nick turned it around for us. As soon as he met our Bentley, we noticed an unspoken communication between them. Nick understood Bentley and vice versa. We knew we had the perfect trainer. We learned that part of the problem was not our dog, but us. We needed training to help us understand Bentley. Nick has been patient, understanding, and caring. He is a true professional who cares deeply about the dogs under his care. If there ever is a question or concern, Nick is right there at your doorstep. We highly recommend Nick and would give him six stars if we could. Believe us, you couldn’t find a better dog trainer and dog listener. We have also used Nick’s services for daycare. We have been 100 percent satisfied with Bentley’s care. It’s been a home away from home!
