Meghan Erickson
Competitive Protection Sports HandlerI began training with Nick nearly a year ago, meeting up a couple times during the week as I was preparing for a competitive trial
with my German Shepherd. I didn't know Nick super well back then, but as the weeks went on it became apparent that Nick was (and is)
consistent, disciplined, punctual and dedicated. He has helped me considerably in my competitive dog sport (PSA), putting on the bite suit and
decoying (which is a physically punishing feat), meeting up super late at night (as we prepared for a night trial), or super early in the
mornings, for training reps.
In addition to helping me train, Nick is also one of the extremely few people I trust with my working dogs -- dogs who are high energy, demanding, and can be
aggressive. I can't board my dogs with the usual pet boarding businesses, but now while I travel, I rest easy boarding them with Nick.
Abbie & Cannoli
4 Week Board & Train Client"I can't recommend Nick enough. He is great at what he does and you can see his passion while doing it."
My pup Cannoli and I started working with Nick when Cannoli was 7 months old. We did 3 1:1 sessions with Nick over the course of a week.
During that week, Cannoli learned a lot, but I learned just as much. I continued to work with her on the things we had learned from Nick and she was doing well.
Then at 11 months old, I boarded Cannoli with Nick for a month. Leaving her with someone was really hard for me to do, but I was confident it would
benefit her so much. I'm so happy to say that it did, even beyond my expectations!
Nick communicated with me daily and sent me videos and photos and updated me on what they were working on and how Cannoli was doing. The same
puppy that was sad when I left her after drop-off, didn't even care I was leaving after my first visit. That brought me so much comfort to know how
comfortable she was and how much she was enjoying the work.
Now at 1 yr old Cannoli has amazing recall, loads into her crate or place without hesitation, lays down, sits, and her leash manners are much better.
Where Cannoli is at 1 yr took me 2 years to obtain with my first dog on my own.
Nick is the real deal. Dogs trust him and I do too. My Cannoli wasn't only trained in his care, but was loved, exercised, socialized, and he
even had her tracking deer trails as a bonus.
