I am in agreement to assign 10 stars, if Google allowed, to Nate Hatch at KPro K9 Dog Training. My experience has been very successful and rewarding for both Dog and Human. While I have had dogs all my life who were well behaved and easy to train, I struggled with my newest, a Golden Doodle. I had heard about the excitement level with this breed, which proved true. I tried Puppy Training with another private trainer and also with a Big Box Pet Store. My pup was distracted and the training I had was not working for her. I feel I waited too long and the jumping an excitement upon greeting Humans and other Dogs did not diminish with her maturity. The Manager at our local PetSupermarket in Fernandina raved about Nate and Cassie, the local Trainers so I gave them a call. The response level was immediate and explained everything thoroughly. Beginning with a very professional on site Evaluation to assess her we decided to start my girl with Level 1 which was just fine with me, especially since the training was not the typical walk around the block or in your home. We got out and about in the second session which was exactly what we needed to quell the Meet and Greet. Nate met us at Central Park, Downtown, Main Beach, Pet Supermarket, Second Chance and anywhere to help get the excitement and jumping down. While it is still a very strong urge for her to do the back leg "Poodle Dance", I am so impressed with the progress Nate has made with her and me to behave and greet while sitting. Watching Nate, you can tell he knows Dogs, their triggers and how to change; he just gets them. His handling skills are seamless; he has been so patient with me, with all my questions and hesitations; he gave me the confidence I needed to take her out on my own to practice and not let her take control and understand how to quiet the excitement level. Hope that you find this review helpful in your search for the best dog trainer in the Fernandina local area. Their pricing is worth the Professional Training you will receive.
