Had my first consultation with my dog today, and was surprised to watch his behavior transform with Nick. My puppy is needing help with impulse control, and Nick was helpful and informative about how to curb his behavior and I am hopeful that we can correct his stealing and attention seeking!

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.

Nikhil was fantastic!
Nik was great! He came to my house to evaluate my Bernese mountain dog for aggression. I found him to be very friendly and knowledgeable. I look forward to working with him in the future.
I am happy with my experience thus far. My consultation with Nik assuaged my fears about my dog's behaviors.

I am happy with my experience thus far. My consultation with Nik assuaged my fears about my dog's behaviors. I realized I had unrealistic expectations, and now that I can put those aside, I feel very relieved and more in love with my dog which I didn't know was possible. We discussed tactics to reduce marking and reactivity and I think I have some tools to start making small changes just from the consultation alone.
Nik was great!! We feel very hopeful with our rescue Rocco! Nik is very thorough and knowledgeable with his approach. We couldn’t be more happier with today’s experience! We highly recommend Nik!
