Testimonials
“So thankful that I found Nate. He is an incredible trainer. We have been working together for a few months and my dog Rio has transformed over that time. So many of the challenges that we were dealing with before starting with Nate are now total non-issues.”
— Julian, Mar Vista
“Nate worked with our mini golden doodle and did wonders for her. She went from being hectic and not listening , pulling on leash and jumping on strangers to a well behaved dog and even off leash dog. Highly recommend anyone looking for a great trainer and Nate also a really nice guy.”
— Taylor, Marina del Rey
“We worked with a bunch of different trainers and tried a lot of different classes. Nobody was able to help much with our dogs anxiety much except Nate. He has a deep understanding of trauma in dogs and what it takes to build healthy and solid relationship with them. I also love that Nate cares more about the dogs happiness than anything else. Five stars!”
