I have taken my 1 year old GSD to 4 sessions with Nic and it has been life changing! My dog struggled with basic obedience, reactiveness, even walks became too overwhelming due to all the leash pulling and constant reactivity at the smallest things. I have went through two trainers previously and learned more training with Nic in the first session than 6 months worth of sessions with both other the other trainers. Just when I thought all was lost, I came across ISpeakDog and I am loving the progress! Major improvement in her overall behavior, no more leash pulling during our daily walks, no more loosing her mind during car rides, no more having to take anxiety medication before vet visits. Nic is very knowledgeable and patient, he makes sure you understand everything and answers all questions you may have before, during at at the end of all sessions! Nic also instills confidence in the owner which is a major key point in training , he changed my whole perspective on training. My only regret is that I did not bring my dog to Nic sooner. Looking forward to future sessions!!
ISpeakdogg, Nic Tolson, is an expert at his craft, dog training/behaviorist. He explained to me how to interact with my dog to achieve the highest performance, With clear and effective practices, I have learned how to move, play and correct my dog with confidence and commitment. His professionalism has brought me back for a second time. Thank you Nic for the advanced training and look forward to working with you again. Chief.
I reached out to Nic, due to a great referral by word of mouth from a complete stranger. She previously, had her dog in training sessions with him & his courses. I must say, everything she mentioned is true! Nic is a very personable, understanding, well knowledgeable and observant in all his training. I’m truly impressed, with this just being my first session.
I look forward to continuing training sessions with him & getting my puppy Ginger, the obedience she needs and I require. If you’re looking for someone who’s about business & gets it done, all while teaching (Nic is your guy)!
I signed my new Pit Bull up for a 6 week training for his leash pulling and hyper-reactivity to other dogs. Our first session was last week and it was immediate improvement. I learned a lot about how my dog’s behavior is dependent on me and got techniques to immediately improve our walks. The improvements have been transformational already. Excited for the next session.
This is Prime’s 2nd week in Nic’s group iSpeakDogg training program. Before this program I had no control walking with Prime. She was distracted by birds, other dogs etc. Prime has come along way in a short time. Nic is patient and Prime is very receptive. I look forward to his next class.
