We aim to create a support system for you and your dog to rely on during our time of working together to. My name's Nick and I'm a certified dog trainer and behavior consultant both in Germany (§ 11) and internationally through the International Canine Behaviourists. After working with dogs for many years and doing a variety of short courses on dog behavior, cognition, and training I decided to en
roll in the Professional Dog Trainer course at the DoGenius Institute, which I graduated with a distinction after 18 months of study. I have also completed world-renowned dog trainer Michael Shikashio's "Aggression in Dogs Master course." Additionally, I'm a fear free certified animal trainer through Dr. Marty Becker's program. I'm passionate about teaching force-free, science-based methods, so I don't use any physical or mental intimidation when I work with dogs and their caretakers but rather focus on reinforcing desirable alternative behaviors. I focus on relationship-building between the dog and human(s) and aim to help people better understand why their dog might behave in certain ways as well as the emotions underlying the behaviors - teamwork makes the dream work, as they say. I work with both puppies and a variety of behavior issues such as separation anxiety, aggression, fear, anxiety, reactivity, predatory behaviors, compulsive behaviors, and many more. I work with people in person throughout Porto, and I also offer online consultations globally.
