I was referred to Nate through a mutual friend. I have 2 dogs, a lab and a pitbull around the ages of 6, that he did wonders with! We have been through several trainings over the years, but nothing has stuck long term. Basic in home obedience and on-leash behavior was out of control! My pitbull has also been attacked by other dogs in the past, therefore, gets defensive when approached by other dogs, so I was not comfortable taking her on a simple walk around the block or at our neighborhood park. When Nate came in to work with my dogs, I loved his knowledge of the psychology behind the dogs behavior! He is firm, but gentle, and has amazing patience! I am blown away by his method and how effective it is and has remained to be over the last several months since working with Nate. Nate comes highly recommended as his training was life changing for us!!
