She sends you a summary of the things you cover after every appointment which is super helpful. I was really amazed to see how well she worked with the dogs, and how quickly they learned from her. My wife and I are certainly on a good path to getting our boys trained up now. I can't recommend Nicole enough. You will be glad you went with her.

Nicole has been instrumental in helping us with our reactive dog (Portie). From puppy and now to…read moreadolescence, Nicole has guided how we should train our dog and sometimes have to hit the reset button to get the results we desire - a dog enjoying his life to the fullest! She is responsive/punctual, insightful (thinking of new strategies), and effective (positive reinforcement leading to less impulse behaviors). She is also helpful with post-session notes so that we can remember all that we learned and use it in our training efforts! Nicole also dog sat for us at a hectic point in our lives and was flexible and accommodating to our schedule. We continue to use Nicole's services and entrust our dog in her care! Thank you, Nicole!

There aren't enough words to express my appreciation to the trainers and the staff at Four Paws. We…read morestarted our agility journey just when the world shut down for the pandemic and Four Paws pivoted to zoom. Just like everyone else, it was unknown waters to navigate for all. First, the dogs' safety is first and foremost and that is a mission of their positive training. Next, Robin worked on the upstairs and created a space where dogs can begin to work on their improving their skills. Mostly, the trainers are TOP NOTCH. They are all R+, and when there needed to have substitute trainers, Robin brought in some of the BEST. We have moved to more advance trialing, but without the work and training at Four Paws, we would have never embarked on this journey. Thank you to all of the trainers, past and present and to Robin for providing a safe, R+ environment for our pups to catch the agility bug. It is at a convenient location, check in is seamless, dog safety is paramount and it is indoors. It is a busy and overwhelming time for dog trainers, let's give some grace and most importantly have fun/play with your dog. I recommend this facility for people who are developing as teams. I will continue to support this local business and am grateful that the training team was our introduction to trialing. Thanks to the Four Paws team, Team Rio is trialing and doing our best. Side note: everyone wants to get on the flashy equipment, but without the foundation work, the flashy stuff with be for naught. Be patient with the process, and trust the trainers, they are the professional. It is well worth the investment. Rio says "woof"

We can't recommend Aldin enough! Our dog Chewy used to be very reactive. Walks were stressful with…read moreconstant pulling, barking, and lunging, especially without a head lead. Around the house, he was all over the place and hard to manage. After working with Aldin through private sessions and a board and train, Chewy is truly a new dog. He's now calm and well-behaved at home, and walks are actually enjoyable, no more pulling or barking, and he stays focused on us! He's also much less reactive overall. We used to be hesitant to take him out in public, but now he does great. Aldin not only helped Chewy but gave us the tools and confidence we needed to keep things going at home. Truly a game-changer!

He is a Pitbull/Bulldog/American Eskimo and I didn't want him to get a bad rap or get into a situation where he would bite. I reached out to Everyday K9 Solutions and started with a 10 sessions and a trainer named Wilson came to the house to work with us. My dog started making progress right away so much so that I decided to have him go for the 2 week Board and Training with Wilson. Wilson has done an amazing job in such a short time and I know that my dog will be even better when he comes home. I am so thankful for Everyday K9 Solutions and especially Wilson. They have given me and my dog the best so that we can live an amazing life together.

Ellie already knew sit, and Beth taught her look, touch, stay, wait, come, leave it, drop it, off, and how to handle alert barking in our condo. Ellie picked it up quickly and the instructions for keeping the training going between sessions were clear,so that we could actually follow them and keep making progress for the next session. Positive, patient, and she made sure both of us were comfortable with the techniques. Would recommend.

Over the course of just a few sessions, she gave us a whole tool kit of techniques and provided us with extensive written explanantions each time for us to refer back to. She is so generous with her time, her positivity, and her expertise. To say we learned a ton is an understatement! Beth was warm, gentle yet firm, encouraging, kind, fun, and truly a joy to learn from. My husband, Mabel, and I could not have asked for a better more positive training experience! Beth is definitley a 'dog whisperer!'

Steve and his team of trainers at Nitro K9 are the real deal. Both our young dogs have benefited…read morefrom Nitro's level 1 and 2 classes, and so it's very easy to recommend Nitro if you're looking for a trainer. It is worth acknowledging that Nitro makes use of prong and e-collars in their training method, and if you have concerns about these tools, I am happy to report there's nothing to be concerned about. I have witnessed my dog gaze up lovingly and with attention at Steve while under his guidance on a prong collar; you could feel the genuine connection between trainer and dog. This kind of experience was enough for me to put any concerns I had aside and welcome the training. It's also worth noting that Steve himself can be a bit of a personality, unafraid to speak his mind and get into a range of discussion topics. Underneath the personality is a genuine human, who wants nothing more than for dogs to receive the training that will most help them get along inside the home and the world. Thanks, Steve and Nitro K9 for your help with our dogs!

Nitro K-9 went above and beyond for me and my service dog…read more After another company took advantage of me while I was recovering from a brain hemorrhage, I was honestly feeling overwhelmed and unsure of who I could trust. Finding Nitro K-9 was such a blessing. From the very beginning, Steve treated me with kindness, patience, and genuine understanding. He didn't just see my dog as another training project--he took the time to understand what I needed and how important my service dog is to my life. The difference in the quality of training, communication, and care has been incredible. I feel so much more confident knowing my dog is being trained by someone who truly cares about doing things the right way. I cannot say enough good things about Nitro K-9. Steve has restored my faith in finding people who are honest, compassionate, and genuinely invested in helping both the dog and the person. If you are looking for someone to trust with your service dog, I would recommend Nitro K-9 without hesitation. Steve is truly amazing! Thank you, Steve, for everything you have done for me and my boy. We are so grateful for you!

Most recently she was instrumental in working with my beloved problem child, Sarita, a rescued pit bull with some very deep-seated behaviors. No, we didn't get her to a place of losing her intense prey drive, but we were able to make so much progress over time. Katie is amazing. (There were more problems training some of the other humans in my family to be consistent. That was on us, not on Katie.) That dog (now gone) will always be my heart, and Katie went very much above and beyond for us, over and over. She is amazing, honest, and a delight. I learned a lot from her, and I know absolutely that I will ask her to work with me and whatever next rescue joins my journey through life.
