Dogs 4 Life

Nick worked with us when we brought a new puppy into our home. Poppy learnt commands really fast and we learnt really good techniques introducing her to our elderly dog and 2 indoor cats. Nick has a real gift with animals and they all loved his visits. One on one worked really well for us, especially our teenager who gained a huge amount of confidence with puppy. Nick also encouraged us to go to Puppy School so that Poppy would be well socialised with other puppies. She smashed her obedience competition on the last day.I would highly recommend Nick for anyone wanting good solid training. I will use Nick in the future.

I can't recommend Nick enough.I was having major issues walking my 10 month old rescue heading dog, Juno. I felt like I had tried everything. She was a good dog. She was excellent at picking up all things with solid commands, but on lead she pulled like a freight train and I dreaded walking her.I flicked Nick an email and he called me right away and recommended exactly what I needed to solve the issue. Over a month down the track and Juno is an absolute dream to walk. So stoked that I can enjoy spending more time with my best friend.

Absolute top knotch service from Nick, I believe he is unparalleled in the dog training scene. We gained so much vital knowledge from our puppy sessions with him, learning so many important aspects to raising a well rounded puppy. A+, highly recommend to anyone with a new pup :-)

We love working with Nick. He gets dogs. Our German Shepherd has changed dramatically under his help and guidance. Thanks so much Nick and Lars!

Highly recommend Nick for any dog or puppy training services. He has been an immense help with our leash reactive dog. We have engaged other behaviorists for the same issue, but it felt like they were after a ‘good enough’ approach rather than working towards a more settled dog around others - which is what Nick does.Nick is great at what he does and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

We took our 4 year old Labradoodle to Nick after he was experiencing some anxiety and also getting mouthy with visitors. Nick was fantastic! He was calm, explained everything to us and also followed up with some written notes on each session so we had a reference of everything we'd talked about.I would highly recommend Nick as a trainer. Our Labradoodle has been much calmer, he's less anxious and is able to follow commands much better. I'm not sure what we'd have done if we hadn't found Nick online and been able to get help from him?Everything Nick observed with Archie as well as with us made sense after he'd explained it. Things we thought were helping were actually making things worse and with Nick's guidance and support, we were able to make the changes we needed.Thank you so much for all the help, the training (of both Archie and us!) and for the support to make the changes needed. We have a much happier and healthier dog now.

Nick is such a knowledge dog trainer, he trained us to be a better trainer for our dog. He changed our life....because our dog behaviour changed a lot over the training sessions and our dog is such a good boy now and love him even more!#Dogs 4 life.....Absolutely agreed! and thank you!! Highly reccommended

Nick taught my dog and I how to communicate. Fox who was a reactive dog, that showed aggression to other dogs, can now even ignore dogs that are growling and performing in front of her. She is happier and more confident and knows exactly what I expect of her. We are still learning together every day putting into practice the skills that Nick taught us.

Nick’s expertise was great for paralleling puppy school. So relieved that he came to our house, as he was able to provide advice based on our personal set up and helped to correct things early on (eg keeping pup from doing stairs, sleeping arrangements, interacting with children etc). Nick was a great balance of relaxed and knowledgeable, our dog loved his visits and he ended up winning his obedience training at puppy school. Thanks, Nick, for helping us raise a fantastic addition to our family!

Our 3 year old Bernese Mountain Dog Layla recently lost her big brother. She has always been a little anxious. When her security buddy wasn’t there any more she got very insecure. Layla struggled getting on with her daily routine as she was clearly looking for her big friend. Nick was recommended by our breeder to help with our situation. His advice enabled us to turn things around. We are very grateful for Nick’s professional assistance and his friendly communication.
