Key Canine resource for all

Nick has been paving his way for years now and has been so open and invited everyone to join and look in on his journey.

This is a very refreshing approach from the many that keep their ‘secrets’ close and operate behind their closed doors until your pay up. Only to hear the well documented, science backed and available content that Canine Professionals like Nick wish to share for free.

This type of transparent approach, his easy going demeanour and hard earned knowledge has served to build up his reputation. It has allowed Nick to interview some of the top, established and pioneers in the industry as well as shining the light on some fantastic up-and-coming names that deserve the limelight.

This podcast and Nicks’ content online has not only lit my own fire for stepping up a few gears with Personal Development, Improving Dog Training techniques and my approach to the Canine Behaviour World. But, it has been an invaluable resource that has turned my attention to several vital channels, websites, video content, books, Trainers, Behaviourists, Animal professionals, psychologists etc

Some of the episodes in Nick’s Podcast catalogue has been such a useful wealth of knowledge from himself and guests, that it makes strive to be a better Dog Trainer and Behaviour Consultant for my clients.

Top job and may you keep finding success and churning out episodes to enjoy.

Amazing what you learn!

It took me a while to get used to Nick's style and the sound quality used to be poor on occasions, but I'm glad I persevered. The range of guests and their willingness to part with their extensive knowledge is impressive in a world that is full of people selling their 'secrets' is refreshing and much appreciated. Nick is a very good interviewer.

Fascinating!

I’m not a dog trainer, but I am a dog walker. I have listened to around 14 of these now. I listen whilst I’m driving which is probably a mistake as I have missed my turn a few times! I am learning so much but I’m enjoying them too. It’s great to listen to people with some passion about what they believe in. Nick asks some really good questions and the questions that most people would shy away from. These are so thought provoking
