K9 National Services - Private In Home Dog Trainers - Hartford, CT
Welcome to K9 National Services, where I offer top-tier dog training right at your doorstep. With my credentials in Detection Dog Training, Dog Agility Training, Dog Obedience Training, Dog Therapy Training, K9 Police Dog Training, Pet Behavior Modification, and Service Dog Training, you can rest assured that your furry friend is in expert hands. As an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator and an American Kennel Club Temperament Test Certified professional, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to every session. Since December 2019, I have been passionately serving pets of all sizes, from under 20 lbs to 80+ lbs, ensuring they receive the best care and guidance to thrive in any environment.
My training philosophy revolves around positive reinforcement and effective communication between you and your pet. I specialize in basic training to curb leash pulling and aggression, house manners to curb unwanted chewing and begging, and outdoor training to ensure safe behavior around traffic and other animals. Additionally, I focus on behavior modification to address issues like unnecessary barking, biting, and more. My approach is not just about teaching obedience commands like sit, stay, and come; it's about fostering a deep, respectful relationship between you and your dog, a connection that helps solve common behavior problems within the home.
Offering mobile services, I bring my expertise directly to your home, making it convenient and stress-free for both you and your pet. With my business license and insurance, you can trust that my services are professional and secure. Whether you're dealing with a new puppy or an adult dog, I tailor my training sessions to meet your specific needs, helping you and your pet communicate effectively for a harmonious life together.

Customer Reviews
Nick came to help us with our Shepard puppy and he was so impressive and he was great with our pup. He was kind and very patient with us and took as much time to explain things so we could understand what we need to understand . Thank you, Nick! - West Hartford, CT - November 2025
- Sandy MI highly recommend Nik & his team to anyone. Nik is knowledgeable & VERY experienced. Services can be modified to the needs of the dog & the owner. You will not be disappointed & your fur baby will be in great hands. Thank you soo much Nik! - November 2025
- Maria ONick started working with my daughter and her dog Dahlia a few weeks ago. After just two sessions we saw immediate improvement. She went from being overreactive and excited to controlled and responsive. Nick is skilled in seeing things us average dog parents tend to overlook. Thankfully Nick has the skills to teach my daughter and myself how to be the leaders of our Doberman. We are truly grateful for K9 National Services.
