Mayday Dog Training

I am so glad I came across Nick. My pup Apollo is a 7 months old European Working bloodline German shepherd with an incredible prey drive. I wanted a personal protection dog that’s not only obedient, but good with kids and family. A trained dog that can go anywhere with me. Wether it’s a car ride, hiking, swimming or maybe go to the mall. I wanted a dog that can do many tricks and impress my friends and family while protecting us anywhere we go. I started researching online and discovered that such a dog can cost anywhere from $50k to a $120k (not kidding). Not willing to spend this kind of money, I decided to go a different route. I started my search for a good working lines German shepherd dog breeder and found one locally. I got my pup around 8 weeks old and wanted to find a good dog trainer right away. After countless days of speaking to different trainers, I came across Nick through Facebook and decided to give him a try. From the moment I spoke to Nick, I knew that he was a great fit for Apollo. He explained to me that this is a project dog and cannot be completed overnight and will require different courses throughout my puppy’s development which I happily agreed to. I sent Apollo in for the very first time at 3 months old for his first 2 weeks program. It made a huge difference. I couldn’t believe that it was the same dog. Apollo was crate trained, obedient and was able to learn more than 7 commands in German. Apollo is 7 months old now and I just dropped him off to Nick for another 2 weeks. I can’t wait to see what my pup can learn this time! It‘s really hard to find a dog trainer that can handle Apollo’s level of energy. I will not let anyone touch Apollo but Nick.

I sent my 5 month golden retriever to MayDay's 2 week board and train. I swear he's a different dog! The "place" command alone is just worth it in our chaotic household with young kids. I am super impressed! The owner is always available to answer any questions. His love of dogs and training shows! After 2 weeks, my puppy knows how to: "sit, down, stay, roll over, crawl, heel, come when called, and place for an hour" (which means lie down and stay until you release them).

We were worried about trying to get our 9 year old Doberman to be more obedient at his age but we sent him to Nick for 2 weeks and he worked WONDERS with him. He listens, no longer barks at animals on the tv. He doesn’t mark in the house or outside the boundaries that we’ve set for him in the backyard. On top of that he is now leash and crate trained plus can do all sorts of neat trick commands. I would highly recommend Nick’s program for anyone out there looking to have a well behaved dog regardless of age. 5 stars all the way and we will absolutely use him again with future pets
