NEK9 PROFESSIONAL DOG TRAINING

If you're reading this, then it's one of two things. Either you've already been through other trainers with no success, or you're looking for a good trainer to start off with. It got to the point of either find an exorcist to cast out the demon in our dog, or find a trainer that was worth their salt. Look no further! Stefan of NEK9 is the one! Our dog was already over 3yrs when we got him and his fear reactivity toward other dogs was off the charts with crazy barking, whining, lunging and alligator rolls at the end of the lead. We'd already been through a couple of trainers with no success. You've got to try this guy, not just for basic obedience, or special needs out of control issues, but for the mere fact that Stefan has an in-depth understanding and philosophy with invaluable knowledge on how to correctly communicate on what you are asking of your dog, this trainer is second to none. He doesn't just train dogs, he trains humans. Stefan has helped us understand the correct handling process, correct communication, the importance of calm energy. NEK9 training has helped not just us as handlers but our dog to have more confidence and trust in each other. Walking is no longer a stressful, anxious chore. Our dog is so much happier because of this training experience and we no longer play 'paper, scissors, rock' to see who takes the dog for a walk.

Great Trainer, Stefan worked wonders with our dog, have recommended him many times

Good training methods and he definitely know what he is doing. We took our stubborn shepsky there and saw good change over time. Give it a try not crazy expensive either. Defi worth the money.

Stefan and Monique have been brilliant. We have a sassy little Spitz who's about a year old who gets distracted by anything and everything, and unfortunately this came with reactivity issues on walks/in general public places - particularly lunging and barking, as well as the absolute worst heel walk you have ever seen. We haven't even completed the basic obedience course yet (5 out of 6 sessions) but already the improvement has been incredible. She is so much more in tune with me on a walk, loose lead 80% of the time now, and her reactivity issues have dramatically reduced! Stefan takes a no nonsense approach and we quickly realised that this is what we've needed all along! Our girl is happier, more confident, and much better for having met Stefan and Monique! Trust me when I say that small dogs need this training too!!

My partner and I are currently going through Stefan's 6 week beginner course with our 4 month old German Shepherd, Billie. It has been absolutely amazing to learn how to really communicate with our pup in a way that makes her responsive and respectful. I'm able to take her for walks now without her pulling on the leash and being out of control. She has even stopped chasing our little kitten and listens when 'enough is enough'. Thanks again Stefan for doing what you do. We're looking forward to seeing how much Billie can blossom into a truely awesome dog with your help.

Stefan shared valuable knowledge and skills.

Great training methods and techniques, however quite annoying as we didn't really get our dog trained, and couldn't join in due to not paying in the bank account rather by cash. Just wanted to first see the training course but I guess we can't really do that unless we give 210$ for one lesson only. Sure the sheets were quite helpful but didn't really seem 'egar' for it. I guess money than training.

Having Stefan and Mon help us with our boy Magic was one of the best decisions we made! Stefan was highly recommended to us by many and we are so happy to have met him and gotten so much knowledge and understanding about our doberman and guide us in how to properly manage his reactivity. We look fwd to many many more training sessions and the advanced obedience class with Stefan in the future!

I wish I could give more than five stars.Stefan provided my private practice with a balanced and highly skilled and trained service dog (Stitch).Stitch is amazing due to Stefan.Stefan and I have been working together for over two years.What I really appreciate with Stefan is his direct and honest approach. He doesn’t avoid tough conversations which has produced accountability for both Stitch’s development and my handling skill level (which has improved under Stefan’s guidance).Stefan is brilliant!!I highly recommend NEK9.
