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.

Large breed (corso/bully) mix rescue pup going through some perhaps fear/anxiety related behavior that I need help with. I wanted/needed an expert in behavior and protective breeds that does not use negative (shock collar, etc) training methods. So far K9 National has been a great experience. Answered questions quickly, and was able to accommodate a first meeting and evaluation of my pup quickly. Nik gave an honest evaluation, with suggestions and guidance based on what I want the relationship with my dog to be and our specific environment and living situation. I did decide to continue with K9 National. I can update my review as our meetings progress but I am very pleased so far.

my husband and i were desperate. our little rescue pup ended up being mostly American Staffordshire terrier- and looked like one. unfortunately this put off a lot of people. including our vet. he was sweet and snuggly with us but reactive and aggressive toward others. the vet tried medicating him but he fought the meds. the vet ended up refusing to see him. we had one trainer come to our home and tell us he was hopeless- he had a "mean streak" and actually advised euthanasia. friends and acquaintances likewise recommended either "re-homing" or euthanasia. we couldnt re-home him because he was 80lbs of intensely focused muscle and aggression when he was triggered and we were worried that he would only be mistreated. so we were considering euthanasia but kept trying to see if we could get any help because he was so incredibly sweet with us. one trainer told us he would need to be muzzle trained before he would even see him which was disheartening because he will not keep a muzzle on (dog is like Houdini, i swear). so one last time i went to google to try and find someone who would work with an aggressive dog. and i really believe that God was kind. we found Nik Sharma (K-9 National). he has been working with our pup and progress is amazing!!! he went from lunging, barking and growling at the first session to now being able to walk with Nik on a leash! He has actually played with other dogs! and was able to be around Nik's family without any aggression. we are getting ready to bring him to the vet's. we were a little leery at first because the cost seemed a little high, but we were desperate. and i saw a review online from a FRIEND and COLLEAGUE of mine! she has 2 rottweilers also with aggression issues. i called her. she has been working with Nik for over a year and could not say enough good things about the work he has done with her dogs! she told me it was a worthwhile investment that i would not regret and she was right! Nik Sharma at K-9 National Services saved our dog's life and i am so so grateful!!! if you have a dog who is reactive or with aggression issues, i would not hesitate to consult him and recommend him wholeheartedly.
