Nitro K-9 LLC is a dog training company founded in 1994 by Steve Walter, who has trained thousands of dogs along the West Coast. The company's training philosophy combines the structure of formal training with the power of balanced, productive energy between dog and handler, resulting in a rewards-based approach without relying on food or toys. Nitro K-9 offers a range of services, including dog boarding, board and train programs, in-home visits and training, as well as small and large dog obedience classes. The business is open seven days a week by appointment, and customers can find videos and podcast links on their Instagram account, @nitrok9. Customers have had overwhelmingly positive experiences with Nitro K-9. They praise the expertise, experience, and dedication of the trainers, particularly Heather, who helped one customer's Siberian husky with resource guarding issues. Clients appreciate the trainers' ability to teach them how to become "badass dog handlers" and the company's use of prong collars, which they found to be an effective training tool. Overall, Nitro K-9 is highly recommended for its exceptional dog training services, knowledgeable staff, and the tangible progress clients have seen in their pets' behavior and obedience.
Working with Nitro has been an amazing experience for both myself and my dog. They treat my dog with respect and kindness, honor his state of mind and are knowledgeable about his breed. Highly recommend!

We are taking two of our dogs to Nitro and have had a great experience. They have learned so much in just a few classes and we love that we don't need to rely on treats to get their attention. Will definitely recommend

Really welcoming environment and very skilled trainers who can identify what your dog needs! The price is worth the product. Took my GSD and showed me how to calm him down and get him to focus on me.
