About Big Nick K9

What they offer

Big Nick K9 offers board-and-train and private lessons in Baltimore County. Board-and-train dogs live and train in the owner's home rather than a kennel run, typically for one to four weeks, working on obedience, impulse control and off-leash reliability, and every program ends with a go-home lesson plus follow-up lessons at your home.

Private lessons and behavior

Private lessons teach you and your dog together in weekly one-hour sessions so you finish knowing how to train. Behavior modification for reactivity, aggression, resource guarding and severe anxiety starts with an in-person evaluation, and puppy foundations are offered too.

Approach

Training is built around your dog and how you live, driven by play and games rather than treats alone.
