Thank you for considering The Nature Coast Dog Trainer. My name is Jerry Walker and I have had dogs my entire life. I am a Nurse for the VA and compete in high-level competition obedience with my German Shorthaired Pointer Uriah at present. Throughout the years I have helped many people with their dogs.

​

I have been approached and asked many times by individuals if I would train their dog. Up until now the answer has been no. Most of the requests have come from families just like you that I have met out in the public at restaurants, stores, and other public places that allow dogs. Having a trained family pet that you can be proud of and to take places is very rewarding and a goal for most of the general public. Probably less than 10% of the general public have this type of relationship with their pet.

​

Dog training for me is not just a hobby but a passion. I never take shortcuts with my dogs' training and would never consider doing so with your pet. I have been to seminars with the top presenters in AKC obedience in the US. I am well-versed in both classical and operant conditioning. I use markers, clickers, food rewards, collars, and state of the art low level ecollar stimulation.

​

Take a look at my own dogs and their level of training. I am NOT a novice turned dog trainer. I have over a decade of experience with the ECollar. In my Board and Train programs your pet will be immersed in the training in my home getting the best of care. I only take 1 dog at a time in for training. Your pet will be trained several times per day, have structure and appropriate interaction with my own dogs.  A nightly pack walk and access to swimming in my pool if appropriate. 

​

As training progresses we will go on field trips in the public to proof what we learn here. My PROMISE to you is your pet will be treated as if he/she was my own and NO ONE will take better care of your pet than me. So please shop around, ask questions, and choose your trainer wisely!
