Nomad K9 Institute

My wife and i started training with Rich mid September, she takes our female thursday and I take our male on fridays. I couldn’t be happier with the experience I’ve had training with Nk9I! My boy has made unbelievable progress. When we first started, he struggled with reactivity, leash pulling, all the things you would expect from a puppy, but now I’m seeing a completely different dog. Calmer, more confident, and so eager to learn. Rich has a true gift for understanding dogs and teaching owners how to communicate with them effectively. Every session is positive, encouraging, and full of practical tools I can use every day. What I enjoy most is how much my dog and I love the training, it’s fun, rewarding, and strengthening our bond more than I ever imagined. I’m genuinely amazed at how much we’ve accomplished in such a short time, and I can’t wait to keep training and building on this progress. If you’re looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, straight forward, kind, and truly dedicated to helping both you and your dog succeed, Rich is absolutely the best!

Having spent 2 months with Nomad K9, I can say it has been one of the best decisions we’ve made in training our 6 month old (working line) German Shepherd. They do a great job in establishing a clear line of communication between you and your dog, building the foundation of obedience and commands. With hands on training sessions, we are improving our handler skills as much as our pup is learning. Moving onto their wealth of knowledge, they are not only welcoming of questions, they encourage communication and are prompt to answering any of our many inquiries when it comes to “our 1st year owning a dog”. All this to say, we are very very pleased with how Nomad K9 has trained, not only our pup, but ourselves as dog owners.

Nomad K9 Institute is outstanding! Rich is a true professionals who cares deeply about both the dog and handler bond. The training here goes far beyond the basics, it’s structured, effective, and tailored to each dog’s individual temperament and purpose. Rich’s experience gives you a direct psychological understanding to what’s happening in the K9s brain. Whether it’s boarding with training or advanced obedience work, the results speak for themselves. The environment is clean, organized, and focused on building reliable, confident working dogs. Prices are more than reasonable for the level of expertise and results you get. If you’re serious about proper K9 training, whether for obedience, working, or detection. Nomad K9 Institute is the only place to go. Highly recommend!
