I am Nick Renfroe, Managing Member of Nick’s Animal Care LLC, A Florida Limited Liability Company, founded 11/17/2018, serving the Greater Fernandina Beach Area. I am a non-smoking, vegetarian, animal lover, particularly fond of dogs because of a mutual joy in experiencing the outdoors through long walks. My passion for dog training evolved organically. In order to fulfill my vision of strolling through the mountains, hills, and fields with four-legged friends at my side, I realized that I would have to teach my dogs several skills. They would need to know not to jump on people we met on the trails, bust into someone’s campsite, steal other people’s food, and would definitely need to come when I called them. In short, they would need to trust my instincts and leadership. 

What seemed like such a simple goal required a lot of research, work, and time. I learned, developed, and refined training techniques to help achieve that vision, creating a methodology centered on communication and consistency. Over the years, strangers have often stopped me and said things like, “Where did you get your dog trained? I would love it if my dog could be like that!” Some of those people became clients and life-long friends.

These are some of the things that I teach all of my dogs:
– Good behavior on walks
– Mastery of “loose-leash” walking
– Doorway etiquette
– No begging
– Off-leash walking
– Vocal cues and hand gestures

Through the process of learning these skills, I raise quiet dogs that don’t chew on the wrong things, jump on the wrong people, or otherwise misbehave. I focus on positive techniques that build trusting relationships and sustainable results. Working together, we can achieve similar results for you.

Please do check out the services I offer and contact me to arrange an assessment.
Thanks for stopping by!
