Rather than focusing on training the dog himself, he teaches YOU how best to work with your dog to get the results you are seeking! And i really feel that he gets to know your dog and how it communicates and behaves and works based on that, instead of having a one size fits all approach. I really can't say enough how much i appreciate and believe in how he works , and i am SO thankful. Peppy was a very anxious rescue when i got him, and with some super simple exercises and trust built through Eric's methods, im now giving him haircuts and working up to nail trims, his recall was non existent before and now he comes right away most of the time, and he even was able to do a couple flights with me with minimal issues. A+++++ service!! Thank you Bridge the Bark!!!

After working with several trainers, my wife and I were fortunate enough to find Eric and our dog (and our relationship with her) have changed for the better ever since. Eric has a depth of knowledge, breadth of experience, and rhythm of interacting with dogs that is rare and exceptional. He finds creative ways to shape behavior with positive reinforcement, compassion, genuine connection to animals, and the use of some of the quirkiest home-made props you'll see in the industry.

Working with Dr. Aldin has been absolutely amazing. Our dog struggles with aggression, and we were…read morehonestly unsure if we'd ever feel comfortable bringing him out in public. Dr. Aldin helped us learn the techniques to increase our dog's threshold, and we have already seen huge improvements -- both in his reactivity and in our confidence handling him in public settings. What really sets Dr. Aldin apart is that everything is science-backed and makes complete sense. He takes the time to explain the "why" behind every technique, and he is incredibly patient -- he'll explain things as many times as you need until you truly understand. You never feel rushed or judged for asking questions. Not only has our dog's aggression improved significantly, but our overall relationship with him has grown tremendously. Training is hard work, no doubt about it, but our dog absolutely LOVES it -- and honestly, that makes all the difference. Seeing him engaged and excited during sessions keeps us motivated to stay consistent. If you have a dog with aggression or reactivity issues and are looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in your success, Dr. Aldin is the one. We can't recommend him enough!

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!

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.

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!

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"

In 3 months of working with them twice a week I was able to take my dog to an off leash dog park for the first time in 3 years.

I can proudly say that I now have a transformed dog that so much more obedient and less aggressive. I will only use Jet City Canine for any future dog training query or needs! Thank you so much Riley and Ryan!!!!!

Coming into training our 6 year old Boston was aggressive towards dogs, unpredictable in behavior, reactive, on alert, and shaking constantly. She had been attacked by another dog a few years earlier and since then her aggressive and reactive behavior has been building over the past few years. Oh and if you chose to come to our home, well you would be greeted that only a fellow Boston Terrier owner would tolerate. We just wanted her to return to her happy, go-lucky, social self and work on her manners. Even at the first meeting with Riley for our consultation, we felt heard and supported. They have effective training techniques that show results instantly but also can be adapted to our learning styles and lifestyles. Not only are we ecstatic about the changes we have seen in our pet but we have felt in control and supported throughout all of the training sessions. I can go on and on about the examples of how training has benefited us, but the fact you will see us in the community as a family and our dogs can interact together is evidence enough! Our house guests are shocked at the transformation and are excited to come over. We are forever grateful for the services provided by Jet City Canine and the training that will last for our current pup's lifetime, as well as, our future pets. We will continue to recommend Jet City Canine to everyone in the greater Seattle area who is looking for a dog trainer (or should be looking for a dog trainer).

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!

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!

Sharon helped me years ago and I still thank her (in my head) every day for teaching me how to be the best 'Pack Leader' to my best friend on four legs... Nola (The Wonder Dog)! Nola rescued me when she arrived at Seatac (from a Texas shelter) back in 2013. It was obvious from the start that my sensitive girl had been through some tough times and I was going to need some help in figuring things out. Sharon was incredible, right from the start! She taught me how to be patient and understand Nola's behavior... and most importantly, how to react and 'check' my own behavior. Sharon taught me so much in such a short period of time. Although Sharon, Nola & I haven't met 'on the regular' in many years, I still call on her when something pops up. I also like Sharon a bunch (as a person) & consider her a good Pal! So... in short, SHARON ROCKS! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to be the best Pack Leader they can be... and a little bit more :)
