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!

Katie was recommended to us right off the bat when we adopted our border terrier puppy. Due to…read moreCOVID, he did not receive any real training for the first 2 years of his life. We have been paying for that dearly! Katie has trained us, how to train our dog. Her method is simple and effective. The classes are always fun and well organized. Zorro can walk calmly on a leash, ignore other dogs, and accept treats from strangers, all huge accomplishments. The only downside is the commute to Woodinville from our home in seattle. Not fun at 5 pm. Though after 2 other failed attempts at training, we'll worth the hassle. Thank you Katie! We will be back for more!

I am appalled they are still in business and couldn't not recommend you stay as far away from them as possible.

Two years ago, my little dog Zigmeister, was almost completely paralyzed in the rear and also in…read moregreat pain. With cold laser, a pill regimen from a holistic vet AND,most of all, Lynnie's weekly massages, her exercises for building of core muscles to support his wonky back, and water therapy, Ziggy now painlessly struts about like a little Napoleon. And we are going to make sure he stays that way with maintenance therapy every other week, for his back is permanently damaged. I cannot recommend any more highly Lynnie's knowledge/skills at massage, accupressure, swim therapy. She tailors our sessions for what Ziggy needs most at that stage of healing. She is most willing to share or teach what I could do at home to support Zig. Most importantly, she "reads" dogs ever so well, for Ziggy did NOT like to be petted or even held by anyone but me and would lash out. Well, after the first session, he could not wait to see her and now stretches out, completely relaxed, and allows Lynnie to take him into water therapy. Lynnie cares about the dogs and also knows how to reassure owners. Most of her clients quickly become friends. Yes, I can see why Ziggy cannot wait to see Lynnie! And I have Lynnie to thank for giving my Zigmeister a second life!

This made it difficult to go on walks in the neighborhood or go on hikes out of fear we would run into another dog. Our dog's trainer Pupp has been wonderful. Wow! We saw changes in our dog even after her first training day. After three weeks of our dog spending Monday's with Pupp we can now go for walks with confidence knowing how to get our dogs attention and control the situation. Pupp not only trained our dog but also trained us. Pupp was patient with us as we learned to work with our dog in a new way. This was well worth the money and I would tell everyone to bring their pups to Pupp!

Dogs started to slack in last year because I forgot the training. Shannon met me and doggies in a central location and helped me retrain them over the course of a couple hours.

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.

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!'

My wife and I had a pretty sour experience today when talking to whoever answered the phone. We…read morewere very excited to engage with this group because there are some good reviews but instead we were met with the opposite. We called to have a conversation but the guy that answered was just very condescending and kept telling us to refer to the website. (The website where we got their contact information from.) Considering that this person is the FIRST point of contact and that they essentially represent the business as a whole, we grew increasingly concerned that this would be our continued experience moving forward so we decided to go with another training group. TL;DR Don't bother calling -- just do everything online and they will probably treat you better. Otherwise, perhaps take your business elsewhere where they don't treat you like an incompetent idiot.
