I had a virtual dog training session with Nate recently and I have to say that he is phenomenal. He was super friendly, nice, understanding, and easy to talk to. This part is really important for me to stress because I have a lot of issues and difficulties when it comes to communicating and interacting with people and Nate made it feel really easy to talk to. I just want to put it out there that Nate is the best at what he does and anyone who needs a bit of help with training their dog should give him a shot.

Nate is a professional ! I would say "Master Trainer " Met him to expand my knowledge about dog train , and he is just a natural when it comes to dogs . Thought me to understand dogs body language, train them to do different behaviors and trick. On top of that nate have alot of patience ( and can teach for hours at a time ) . I would choose him again for 1000 more times !

WOW! Nate is fantastic. Nate is highly skilled, has unending energy, really cares about the outcome and is able to articulate the concepts with tremendous patience and clarity. I have tried many dog trainers and training techniques before Nate. None of them worked as well, nor as consistently as Nate's dog training techniques and education. Nate is truly invested in your individual success with your dog. He cares about YOU and YOUR success, not just about selling a course like many other dog trainers out there.

I have had a GSD in my home all my life and trained most of them my self and with trainers. Nate is by far the best trainer I have ever worked with or seen work with a dog. He has unlimited patience with both the dog and owner! The process he uses is very logical, practical and appropriate. He easily adopts training methods to the needs of the owner/handler. The final goal for my dog is as a certified Service Dog and this 9 month old female GSD is well on the way to being the perfect dog. The true test is when I encounter other trainers, they always remark on how well trained this dog is already.

I’ve only had one training session so far and Nate has provided the start I need to be successful. He explains the “why” along with the “how” when teaching you how to train your pup. Nate also provides his clients access to training resources to support you. He is extremely knowledgeable and we discussed several training tools that may assist me as well. I appreciate that he kept the first training session focused on key fundamentals so not to overwhelm me or my pup, and once I feel we have mastered those I can follow the training guide or book another session if needed. Overall a great experience and he did not try to “sell” me on future sessions - it’s all about what works for you and your pup!

Nate is such an extraordinary dog trainer & educator. I had a pleasure training with him recently. He is professional, knowledgeable, and extremely easy to work with. I'm going to incorporate his advices in my training to help my youngest dog settle down on car rides. Thank you so much, Nate!

I'm so happy to have found Nate's training - he is a breath of fresh air when it comes to dog training because his approach is founded in solid foundations and canine behavioral science, yet he focuses his training on always being fun and enjoyable for both dog and trainer. Nate's methods are gold and I can't recommend him enough to any dog owner out there wanting top-notch training for themselves and their dog. He explains concepts really well by simplifying and making use of analogies which always helps to drive the message home. Thank so much you Nate for all your help - my bond with my dog has increased beyond my imagination because of your training and guidance!

I've been dealing with aggression in my dog for years now and am feeling very hopeful after my virtual training session with Nate! He's very informative, provides various resources, and is interactive! I'm looking forward to trying the practical methods he gave me so my dog can be finally be social around other dogs. Thank you, Nate!

Five stars is too low of a number to rate Nate Schoemer. He is an amazing person to talk to, he answered all my questions, and he gave me a lot of resources/advice. I have been struggling with my leash reactive GSD for months and no matter how many dog trainers I watched on YouTube, how many leashes, and e-collars I went through nothing helped. Since having a zoom session with Nate, today for the first time in months and the first time since talking to Nate (which was 2 days ago) I was able to take control of my dog when she saw another dog. There are not enough words to say how great this man is and I highly recommend him to anyone struggling with their dogs.

I've used Nate's method in training my dog from day one, and the results are undeniable. We did an online Zoom training session and it was a huge help. He was able to give me much more focused guidance based on my dog's behaviors. He explained not only what to do, but why, so I understand why my dog does the things he does, and the best way to approach them in a way that is best for both me and my furry friend. Highly recommended.

Nate has a complete system to help you communicate with your dog. His method of teaching is clear and concise and most importantly paints a clear picture for the dog. I had the privilege of learning his method in person. The personal feedback he offered was invaluable. Nate can take you to the next level and beyond. All you have to do is follow his program and progress with your dog, as he prescribes. Nate’s training will definitely strengthen you and your dog’s bond! He’s the best!

Nate is an exceptional dog trainer with an impressive range of expertise. From pet-dog training to high-level competition training, he has mastered it all. His ability to work with different breeds and understand the needs of both dogs and their owners is unparalleled. Watching his YouTube channel and reading his book has been incredibly educational for me and my 3 year old Labrador Josie. Highly recommend Nate for anyone looking to enhance their dog's training.

Nate is THE best dog trainer I've seen and I've met with a good amount of them- we have 4 different dogs and using Nate's support and guidelines, its been unsurmountable the amount of progress we've seen as well as the connection we've got to foster. His youtube videos are incredible and he's one of the few ethical dog trainers i've seen!! This man really knows his stuff and cares for his dogs <3 highly recommend. 10/10

Nate Schoemer is THE reason my dog is as well trained as he is. Dog training can be such a complicated endeavor but he has demystified it and has empowered thousands of dog trainers to have a more meaningful bond with their dogs. If you are thinking about scheduling with Nate DO IT.

I recently got a German shepherd puppy and was looking for a good training support and found Nate's dog training course. We had a virtual 1-0-1 meet and he explained everything that I was looking for. I highly recommend this course for any puppy or a dog of any age and breed. Thank you so much Nate.

We had a great online training experience with Nate. Not only is he super friendly and personable, this was a great opportunity to clarify questions we had from his online videos and discover the nuances that are specific to our training. It was a highly valuable experience and we learned so much just in our first session. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve and refine their dog training.

My Virtual Dog Training Session with Nate Schoemer this week went far beyond my expectations. I am very happy with the engagement Nate has with people, not just dogs! He clearly knows his material inside out and upside down and backwards. He can take a difficulty you have with your dog and break it down into the steps that will solve it. He also explains the basis for these steps so that you can understand why it’s done the way he describes. And then he throws in ‘test questions’ to see if you really do understand what he is saying. He is excellent at re-explaining challenging concepts in various ways to ensure understanding. He is engaging, competent, even masterful.

First time dog training consultation with Nate Schoemer and the process was easy. The conversation was great and the advice he provided was manageable. Nate knows what he's talking about and goes into details about the science of the dog behavior. Even if you are learning from a beginning stage to an experience stage, he can definitely help you improve your dog training needs. Thanks again Nate for all the advice. I recommend you all to sign up for Nate in Home Training course . You won't regret it. Everything I learn from Nate came from his method of teaching. I only able to send a few videos at a time as an example. The videos give an idea on how Nate principle of teaching works. I have no prior training knowledge until I came across Nate. Thanks again..

Nate is an incredibly good trainer that makes puppy/dog training so simple and fun! After looking through many, many different dog trainers material, he is the FIRST I would recommend to a new owner. He has a great selection of training videos which helped so much during the puppy stages. I also recently had a 1on1 session with him which was fantastic, and helped unblock some of the challenges I was having with the more advanced skills.

MUST WATCH VIDEOS
Discover Nate’s Top Dog Training Videos! From puppy basics to behavior management and service dog training, these must-watch clips are perfect for every dog owner.
I believe in a structured approach to training that creates lasting change through cooperation, not dominance. Using a combination of classical and operant conditioning, I first establish clear communication channels with your dog, showing them how their actions have positive outcomes. This encourages confidence, motivation, and a genuine desire to follow your lead.
For obedience and behavioral issues, I integrate advanced techniques such as leash cues, behavior adjustment, and preventive measures for dangerous habits. My clients learn the three foundational training events to improve their dog’s behavior, backed by private lessons, video support, and detailed training materials. This approach sets you up for success now and in the future, with skills you’ll carry for a lifetime.
