We began working with Nick when our puppy, Koa, was about six months old, and we were impressed…read morefrom the very first in-home consultation. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and professional dog trainer, Nick brings both expertise and clarity to the process. His approach gave us the confidence to move forward with one of his puppy training packages. The group sessions have been incredibly valuable--providing structure, socialization, and meaningful growth for Koa. We're especially grateful for the one-on-one guidance Nick has given us, helping us confidently reinforce commands and build strong obedience skills at home and on walks. We've seen tremendous improvement, particularly in managing Koa's over-the-top excitement when greeting people and other dogs. Content K9s also offers boarding and training to their clients, so having that option during our recent 2 1/2-week international trip gave us complete peace of mind. Koa was clearly well cared for, and we returned to a happy, well-adjusted pup. Nick and the Content K9s team deliver professional, effective, and thoughtful dog training. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for puppy training, obedience training, or behavioral support.

We were incredibly lucky to welcome our goldendoodle, Fozzie, into our family at just 4 months old…read more As he grew (and grew!), his energy and strength became a challenge -- especially with him jumping on guests and pulling on the leash when our kids walked him. More than just obedience, we were looking for a lifestyle change. I didn't want to keep taking Fozzie out while constantly worrying about his behavior instead of enjoying the moment. Several coworkers recommended Nick's dog training company, and after seeing the results firsthand, we decided to reach out. From our very first consultation, we knew we were in good hands. Nick immediately connected with our family and with Fozzie, and he created a training plan tailored specifically to our needs. Within just the first two sessions, the biggest concerns -- leash pulling, jumping -- had already improved dramatically. The remaining sessions helped us build a whole new rhythm with Fozzie. He now responds to commands like come, off, place, heel, stay, and lay down, and he even walks off-leash with confidence and control. It's important to say this: Nick gives you the tools and structure, but it's the consistency at home that brings lasting change. That balance is what makes his approach so effective -- it's not just about training the dog, but about equipping the whole family. A few more things we loved: 1. Nick worked with our sons as well, showing them the same patience and guidance he gave Fozzie. 2. Even after the 5 private sessions, he offers Saturday group classes to continue building skills and socialization. 3. He's reliable and flexible -- scheduling was always smooth, and he never canceled or no-showed, which means a lot to a busy family of five. 4. He makes it all feel doable. His calm, patient approach builds confidence in both people and pups. We truly couldn't recommend Nick more. If you're looking not just for training, but for a real lifestyle shift with your dog, don't hesitate to reach out to him.

He likes to follow that feat up with biting or barking at the first new face in the room. The staff at Elite Southwest calmly observed his naughty behavior during assessment and quickly came up with a training plan. Rocket started as a flunky in the course but now easily has a passing grade! I don't feel that he has to be in his puppy stroller everywhere we go. He is getting more exercise and now I feel comfortable out and about. Great service!

We brought home a six-month-old German Shepherd who didn't have any socialization. She was very…read morereactive towards other dogs. When we signed up for the group lesson with Mike, I was worried about what would happen with all the other dogs! But he assured me to be there without rejecting her, knowing she'd act crazy! When we showed up, she was barking, lunging, and going crazy since we got off the car, and we couldn't go near at all!! This continued for maybe four sessions in. Then Mike grabbed her leash and corrected her. That's all it took! He showed us how to fix the situation and stay consistent at it. Look at the picture! This is her in STAY command, just relaxing on the trail. We can walk by other dogs without a hassle. It's a working progress, but this wouldn't have happened without his training. Mike is full of knowledge and experience. He taught us very simple yet valuable skills, and it's been going very well since our sessions ended.

Most importantly you must go in knowing that you as an owner need to put in the work to get results and trust me, you will get results if you do. It's all patience, communication and consistency. Get those wins! I have three dogs so it wasn't an easy training process because of different ages, sizes and behaviors hence why we needed help. But the training techniques he taught apply and work with all of them and had made it easier. With a few more wins under our belt day by day! Michael was communicative and flexible while scheduling our weekly classes. There was never any force or aggressive training involved at any time, no need for shock collars only training collars (very different). Price wise I think he is the most reasonable and he has group classes you can attend. We look forward to taking those classes! Thank you Mike!

Antonio with Leader of the Pack K9 Training has truly transformed my dog. My dog was very reactive…read moreto strangers and got to the point where taking him out in public was a challenge and stressful. Out of some desperation, I decided to reach out to Antonio and am so glad I did. From the get go, Antonio was great with my challenging dog and I really appreciated Antonio's balanced approach to training; rather than saying "oh you have to use this tool", he remained open to various tools and quickly identified which would work best for my dog and me. Antonio explains the rationale for everything he does and supports dog owners, even when we inevitably mess up or do something wrong! After 6 private lessons, my dog is a dog I never imagined I'd have. He can comfortably be around strangers and is less stressed out/calmer in public. Thanks again Antonio for your guidance and support!

I have two dogs going to Antonio, Leader Of The Pack in Las Vegas at the end of the month…read more September 2025. I have talked to him through zoom and texting and email numerous times. And so far he's been absolutely amazing. I'm a believer that it's the human that needs to be trained more than the dog. Because I'm the one that's gonna be helping my puppies. And lately it's been a little different for me and I definitely need some assistance. So far one of the things that I've enjoyed and has helped me feel confident about him is the way that he speaks and how he communicates information. I don't feel like he's talking down to me like I'm a dumbass. And I've worked with a lot of trainers. I've always felt like that's been important and I have a lot of things to learn always no matter what. And often unfortunately , there's been a little bit of that conflict. Or I'm the stupid one and they know everything. And I believe that they know a little bit more than me most of the time. And some of them have been very condescending and I don't appreciate that. And I usually tell them. But I have to say I have never once felt that way with Antonio. He speaks clearly and in a way that I can understand him and if I don't, I ask him to maybe say it differently because I didn't get it and he does and he's calm and patient and doesn't get all rattled and honestly right now. I kinda need that. Because I'm getting kind of rattled. I need some help. So far so good they're going two weeks and I'll give updates.

AJ is amazing!!! I highly recommend!!!! AJ is such a…read morewonderful trainer. We found her when we brought a new Aussie puppy home, already having a three year old border collie. There were a few problem behaviors we were able to work on right away. Jumping, sitting, and overall listening. AJ is extremely great with our dogs. They are excited to see her every session, and happy to work hard for her. AJ is not only a great dog trainer but also a teacher to us humans. She helped us learn the tools we needed for our dogs to be successful. After 8 sessions our dogs are doing great with door manners, a long stay, coming when called and more. She has taught us fun games that allow the dogs to use their noses to find scents, while also tiring them out. I recommend AJ to anyone in need of help with dogs who already are great, but have a few quirks to workout. And I highly recommend AJ to anyone with new pups in the house. She has made a huge difference for us, and our dogs as well as everyone's confidence!

**UPDATE** Our training journey with Nala started on…read more6/29/18 and we signed up for the 6 session lesson plan. Today is actually our 7th lesson (and still ongoing). I must stress that AJ is just not about training but more importantly she believes in Nala's well being. AJ created a bond with Nala, yet Nala is aware she is in training. AJ listened to our needs, and investigated our surroundings/situation. AJ prioritizes Nala's delicate insecurities. There are not many Trainers (or businesses) that go above and beyond the need to "sincerely help" and yet is still a professional. ie: AJ has accompanied us on numerous Vet visits; suggested Doggie Daycare, plus accompanied us on Nala 1st visit and ensured Nala's transition into socializing with other dogs. In which was a success! Nala is now at leash training status and people interaction. Stay tuned for further updates... Don't ponder... we still HIGHLY RECOMMEND AJ for your pet training needs!!!!

(I understand no dog is and they all make mistakes, but I have somewhat high expectations for my dood). Needless to say, I was not disappointed with the training Dexter received in the basic obedience program. He's been awesome! Thanks to Nicki and PupScouts Dog Training, Dexter has been better than I could ever imagine. With training, he's exceeded every bit of my expectations and has been the best for myself and for my family (which has a great range of ages that he does amazing with, from children to the elderly). Dexter is the pup of my dreams, and I can't wait for him to learn more with his introduction to socialization and public training!

She tailored our sessions specifically to what we were looking to work on with Franklin, such as down stays, recall, and staying at the front door instead of racing outside and pulling on his leash. During training, she always explained everything very thoroughly so that my whole family could understand, and answered any and every question we had. She's truly gifted with dogs and her training has proven to be very effective with our pup. I will definitely continue using the techniques I learned from her with Franklin and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you!!!

He was scared, reactive, and only allowed a few people near him without showing signs of aggression. After just one class, we noticed a difference, and by the end of all the classes, it felt like we had a completely new dog. Griffin is now the happy, confident dog he was always meant to be. What made Pam so incredible was her approach to training both Griffin and us. Dog training isn't effective if the trainer only focuses on the dog--it's just as important to teach the owners. Pam showed us how to work with Griffin every day to reinforce his progress. She was always available to answer texts and provide advice between classes. Her dedication and expertise made all the difference, and the results exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend Pam! Every dog has the potential to be transformed with the right training, and Pam truly delivers that.
