Dog Trainer, 17 years experiance
Pet care experience
Hello! I’m Nicole. I’ve been working with dogs professionally for over 16 years. I have a passion and connection with them that is unimaginable at times. My career began at age 15 when i started grooming. I opened my first shop at age 17 and kept building business and friendships for many years after. It was at my 10th year in business when I decided to pack my vehicle up to make it easier on my clients and their pets by coming to their home to work directly with them.
Reviews
She was great. He really had a good time with her dog. She updated us often. Crackers loved her. She gave him a bath and haircut.
I enjoyed having my dogs stay with Nicole. They were well taken care of and I did not have to worry. I got constant updates and my dogs were watched constantly.
Nicole is extremely good with our boys. They both love her! She took such amazing care of them! Our Creed ate something outside that made him very sick, Nicole knew exactly what to do and acted on it right away. She rushed him to the animal hospital and thankfully he pulled through with flying colors. We could not be more grateful for her and our minds are at ease when they’re in her care. She’s made our lives so much easier while we are planning to move out of state. We love and appreciate her so much and would “highly” recommend her to others! She had them trained to lay down in less than an hour! They came back cleaner even than when they left! ♥️
I highly recommend Nicole for taking care of your dog whether it be for walking, boarding or training! She has been working with dogs for many years and has an innate sense of their needs. She truly loves what she does and she is a loving friend to them as well !

Home
Information Nicole B. would like to know about your pet
I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I would prefer them all to be vaccinated and up to date on their vaccines. Your dogs behavior is a good thing to know ahead of time. PLEASE make me aware if your pet is not comfortable around other pets so I can cater to their specific needs.
A typical day
Your dog will learn to walk nicely on a leash, No pulling or weaving. I believe leash training is one of the most important tools when beginning training a dog and it also shows respect, trust and builds a bond with one another. There’s some kind of connection between the dog with that leash in my hand. At times i offer "field trips" for your pet. I will bring him/her to places like local parks, creeks, Home Depot, Lowes or any other stores where pets are permitted to socialize. Many of these stores are used to me coming in with dogs and some even block off sections of their stores for us to train! THINGS I REQUIRE FROM YM CLIENTS: -Each dog must be treated for fleas and ticks. I ask that you purchase a ceresto collar through me 1 weeks before I board to protect my home and my pets. If you're dog is has been treated already, please provide me with proof. -Each pet MUST be vaccinated and provide prood for Distemper, Bordetella, Rabies & Parvo. If you cannot find your papers or do not know what your dog is vax for, I can call your vet for you and have it emailed back to me. -if you're dog is crate trained, please bring your own crate. -Bring dog food, treats, no bones or rawhides please! -Must bring food & water bowls. -Dog bed or blanket

Availability
After 10 years of grooming, I wanted to further my career. I decided to get certified as a dog trainer/animal behaviorist. Over the years I have hosted many puppy classes, private one on one training, agility classes, emotional support & service training and I provided over 30 successful rehabilitation classes for many breeds with numerous challenges, whether the challenges be at home, in public or socially. First, I offer a free consultation with the owners to learn their families day to day schedule, their dog's habits and behaviors and take note of exactly what each client would like to achieve with their pet. I then take a few days to create a very detailed plan, a quote, a training schedule and find ways for my client's and their pets to build a bond the best way possible for their family.
