    Nick's Rogue with our Roxy
    Christine H.

    As first time owners of a German shepherd puppy (who both hadn't had a dog at home in a decade), my husband and I felt in over our heads with figuring out the right approach to take to start to train our girl Roxy. Going to Nick for training was one of the best decisions we've made so far with her. From day one he was focused on getting to know Roxy's personality, and helped us understand the most important job we had with our dog in specific was working on her confidence - not something we expected to learn going into puppy training, but it has made all the difference with her! Even more so than training her, Nick was training us on how to interact with our dog to give her her happiest and most confident (and of course obedient) self; he really helped give us the tools we needed to be set up for success and showed us how to work with her, and was up front about the fact that we needed to work on how we act more than anything else to see results with our pup. Roxy still has a long way to go but she has come SO far with Nick's help, and we fully intend on doing more training with him in the future to continue learning how best to work with our high energy, playful, lovely dog who has a short attention span, but loves to work and learn new things! We couldn't recommend Nick enough, he truly cares about each dog he works with and is an awesome person on top of all of that, which makes working with him super easy.

    Nick was referred to us after we got a puppy and I'm so glad we found him. I've had cats all my life and knew absolutely nothing about raising a dog. You can read all the puppy books but when it comes down to it, having that hands on guidance specific to your situation is priceless. Nick is so patient, knowledgeable and he was great with our dog, Benny. We learned so much from him just from the basic puppy training and because of him Benny is already on the path to being an obedient part of the family. Can't say enough good things about Nick and this business. If you're looking for a trainer at any stage of your dogs life- this is the guy.

    Nick is a very calm and considerate dog trainer. He not only provided education for why we were doing things but also flexibility to customize to our needs with a dog living on a farm and our love of hiking. He introduced other dogs to facilitate real life situations. We are pleased that we invested time and trust in Consistent K9.

    I highly recommend Nick and his team at Consistent k9 for a dog trainer. Nick and his team possess an extensive knowledge of dog development and behavior. They are caring, professional and skilled at assessing what is needed to help dogs and owners succeed in their relationship. He uses positive training techniques which is key in helping you grow the relationship between you and your dog. Thanks, Don, Kelli & Simba

    I can't say enough about Nick . I came to him with my EXTREMELY REACTIVE pitbull puppy, Boogie. I had absolutely no confidence in Boogie or myself . Nick went out of his way to train Boogie and I with several one on one sessions and then allowed us to join group training sessions. By the end of our training , Boogie was going on group walks with other dogs and had so much more confidence. More importantly, I had more confidence in him!!! I wish we could continue our training with Nick, but we're relocating out of state ; otherwise, Nick would be Boogie's trainer FOR LIFE!!! Nick's calm and loving nature towards Boogie, and all the dogs, helped my Boogieman progress in such a short period of time. We still have a long way to go but I'm confident that we can get there with the foundation that Nick has taught us. If you're looking for a trainer who knows what they're doing, Consistent K-9 is the way to go- you will have NO REGRETS!!! Thank you so much Nick!!!!

    I can't recommend Nick highly enough! While we've had dogs that we loved as members of the family, to have them trained makes that process a lot easier and faster. For us however, the fact that our two puppies were from the (entire) litter of our daughter's dog, made "shipping them off" all the more difficult. We went to Pet Food Express in the Fountains to get supplies, and the young lady who helped us was familiar with Nick and spoke very highly of him (this helped put our mind at ease as well). She mentioned his success with other dogs, said she looked forward to Nick bringing our puppies in, as he takes them out for "field-trips" to help acclimate them to people and other dogs. Her effusive response to Nick doing the training, laid any remaining concerns to rest. Nick's awareness of our concern for their wellbeing, not just physically, but their continuing to be "happy puppies" made the process easier. We received regular updates with pictures of our happy puppies, and stories of their educational process, both their successes, and their challenges. The fact that his observations so closely matched their personalities made it clear that he wasn't merely training them, but was extremely aware of the temperaments involved. I can't express how reassuring it was to know that he wasn't merely training them, but bonding with them. Of course, this is why we chose him. The dogs weren't kept in an outdoor kennel, but in his living room. They were welcomed guests in his home, and knowing they were not sequestered out in some kennel off in the yard, helped to put our minds at ease (especially as the weather was somewhat unpleasant while they were there). When we were reunited with them, it was amazing. The difference in their behavior, and their well-behaved manner was incredible. They were such amazingly well behaved dogs it was hard to imagine they were the same hyperactive (they're golden-doodles so this is their natural state) dogs we left with him. Of course, we were able to destroy much of their training in their first weeks home, as our dogs rediscovered their natural state! But then we went for a follow-up training, and it made such a HUGE difference. That was an incredible hour where we found out what we were doing wrong, and the training they had received was quickly reasserted. Since that day, our dogs have been so easy, and that has made for a very happy coexistence.

    I just completed the 10-week training course with my Cane Corso puppy with Nick and it was an amazing 10 weeks. Nick is very helpful in guiding me to correct negative behavior and will answer any questions I had. He is a great trainer and I recommend anyone looking for a trainer to choose Consistent K9 Training.

    I can not thank Nick, Marc, Vienna, and the whole consistent K9 family enough. As first time dog owners we were struggling to co exist with our Oslo. It wasn't his fault, we just didn't know anything about dog behavior and what to do. He was so rough and did not have any manors towards people or other animals. We decided to do the 5 week training and we saw results after the very first visit! I learn by what, why and how and nick and his team were able to explain everything. You can tell the love they have for animals. Now my dog listens, he can approach other dogs and is over all a happier pup. We still have a way to go because he is 10 months old but we look forward to continue training with consistent K9. I will refer any dog owner to them and will not go anywhere else!

    Jett!

    My dog, Jett a Catahoula mix and I completed 6 obedience classes with Nick and I was very impressed how Jett improved over those 6 courses. This was one on one training for an hour each session. I became aware of some of the best techniques to get Jett to become a better dog. Nick met with us during a meet and greet and we discussed how things would go. I appreciate his low key attitude and how he interacted with both of us. We generally met at Maidu Park in Roseville, which was a nice location. We went through basic obedience commands to set up a good base to then learn some other more challenging commands. Each time Nick would ask me if I understood his instructions. We used a simple pinch collar for Jet as he can be a bit stubborn at times. We worked on things throughout the week as well! Our last lesson was at a Home Depot. This was very new setting for Jett, but he seemed to settle right on and I was pleased. Thanks Nick for all your help!

    My wife and I were searching for a dog trainer form our 4 year old Frenchie rescue named Benny…read more Benny is awesome on walks but does not like people he doesn't know when we have them over to the house. What we loved about Wag Time and Don (owner and trainer) is that he does not use treats or shock. He employs voice and leash control. In reality Don trains YOU how to train! Honestly I was a skeptic! BUT we saw IMMEDIATE improvement during the very first lesson!! We have had 6 lessons so far, and Benny has come a long way! Life changing for us! Meet Don once and you will feel the same we do about him, his techniques, and his love for what he does!

    Don has been training me to train my two dogs (an 8 year old golden doodle whom i have had since he…read morewas a puppy and a 2-3 year old rescue whom we recently adopted and who seems never to have been leashed before). They are being "worked " (trained) separately and, as of the past week (because it's getting dark so early and because it's now doable), they also get a long walk together. We have been at it about two months and have made significant progress (with lots of room for more!) Don't forget that it is up to the dog owner to do the work--neither Don nor the dogs can bear any responsibility for the lack of progress when the only way to improve the dogs' behavior is to be consistent in demanding (and enforcing) what you want. But Don is very patient with the dogs and me, so I can try to emulate his techniques with the dogs daily, between sessions.

    I could not recommend Kait more! She is professional, knows her stuff, and you leave every training…read moresession feeling empowered with the right tools to work on whatever behavior you need. She gives you clear, actionable steps & the results make life with our pup so much easier. She has been immensely helpful in helping us train our 8 month old dog since we got her at 8 weeks. 100% hands down the best money we've spent on our dog is getting Kait as our trainer!

    Let me be clear, Kait is a miracle worker. No joke…read more We were looking for a dog trainer because our 1.5 year old pup had several bad habits we wanted to break. He pulled to an insane degree when we went on walks, he was prone to darting out the front door, and he jumped up on guests when they came to our house. Leash manners were my primary concern because sometimes our elderly family members liked to walk my dog, and I was afraid that the dog would pull so hard they would fall and injure themselves. I interviewed multiple reputable dog trainers in the area, but Kait was the only one who listened to my primary concerns and said she would address those right off the bat. The others seemed to have a pre-designed series of lessons and were not willing to deviate. To be clear, my husband had incredibly low expectations for dog training. He thought that our dog was so stubborn (he is) and his hunting instincts were so ingrained (they are) that he would always pull on a leash to keep sniffing for prey. My husband was convinced that this would be a waste of time and money. Kait came to our house for our first private lesson, and it's an understatement to say our expectations were low. Kait observed us interact with our dog, and even coined the term "sled dog" when watching him pull as we walked him down the street. She showed us some leash drills and then had us practice with him. By the end of the hour long lesson, the pulling was significantly better. Not gone, but it made it where we weren't using our body weight to hold him back just to get to the end of the block. I was impressed, but my husband was still skeptical. We ended up doing a total of 8 private lessons with Kait, and my dog's behavior has changed monumentally. We can walk him with a loose leash, and only a few occasional reminders during our walks. When he sees other dogs, he stares at them, but he doesn't try to lunge at them to play. If our front door is open, he stays back and doesn't dart away. He also rarely jumps up on people now. Most notably, after just a few lessons, my husband became an ardent believer in Kait's amazing dog training abilities. He now agrees that hiring Kait was one of the best things we did for our dog and our peace of mind. If I could give Kait 10 stars, I would! I have recommended her to as many people as I could, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again. With Kait's help, you absolutely will be amazed by your dog's improvement. Hire this woman before her schedule books up!

    Last week, I went to Pet Express to find something for my dog. The staff there was so helpful and…read moreknowledgeable and she knew how frustrated I was. I even asked her to babysit real quick while I grabbed food next door. When I came back, the staff suggested that I contact Aaron from Intuitive Dog Training. Boy am I glad I did. I just had a puppy training with Aaron and boy am I psyched to practice what I learned. Aaron was so patient while he answered all my questions. He was also so focused on me and the dog. I was so impressed with his knowledge and creativeness. I took notes and all I need to do is purchase a few dog toys (teething kind), sod, bell, etc. I am enrolling in the puppy training course and also the adult courses. His price is amazingly affordable. You should definitely contact him or attend his classes. I definitely recommend Aaron.

    I do not recommend Intuitive dog training for aggressive dogs…read more I adopted a pit bull from the shelter and did not want to take her out into public until I worked with a trainer at home. Aaron came to my house and introduced our dogs by having them meet and walk past each other. My dog was clearly agitated but didn't growl. Within minutes my dog and his German Shepard got into a fight. He clearly did NOT know what do (neither did I, that's why I hired a professional) and told me to "stick my finger in her butt" (this doesn't work, in case you were wondering). It was traumatizing for both me and my dog who has now been set back in her training and is even more untrusting of other dogs. There was a hose about 3 feet away from us but hindsight is 20/20. He does not believe in prong collars but may want to reconsider for certain dogs.
