Seattle's Premier Dog Training System, "The Nitro Dog"
Whether you need help with your dog or you need help from your dog, Nitro K-9 is here. Using a system that actually works, not based off of snacks for simple commands, we can improve the bond between you and your dog. Whether it be general obedience for dogs small and large, young and old, aggression management, or even special training, Nitro K-9's Steve Walter is the experienced trainer you've been looking for.
Steve Walter's Nitro Dog training program has gained fame throughout the west coast, Seattle, and Bellingham areas. Steve Walter has gained EXTENSIVE trust and respect for his Mini Heroes training program for dogs 35lbs and under.
Steve has decided to implement two more programs: the Aggression Stopper Program and the Emotional Support Program. Feel free to browse the site and if you have any questions, please, don't hesitate to contact us.
Our system was founded in 1994 by Steve Walter: a well-educated man with the motivation to create a training program that actually works. Tired of the "behavior for food" fad sweeping the nation, Steve created the "Nitro Dog" K-9 training system. Based on proven European dog training techniques used daily by police and military, the training system includes Asian philosophy to promote unity with the universe and the exchange of Chi between dog and handler. This training is tested and results are evident.
