Maggie's house - Dog mom & trainer

Pet care experience

I love my dog, so I know what it's like to absolutely adore your dog, and can't bear to think about leaving him/her alone. So I get it... I really do, I know what our 4-legged best friends mean to us. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA). I've trained Bears, Tigers, lions, oh my! And of course dogs. My world revolves around the little heartbeat at my feet, Maggie. When your dog stays with us your pup will get lots of attention, love, and have a wonderful vacation too. I have one dog of my own, Maggie, which is the joy of my life. She is a bichon, mini poodle mix that was rescued from a shelter here in Los Angeles. She mostly likes to sit on the couch and watch what is going on. We only take in one dog at a time, Maggie prefers it that way. So we do fill up at times. Feel free to message us with any questions. I would want to know ALL about who my dog will be left with, so here's a little bit of me, I'm a celebrity CPDT-KA dog trainer in Los Angeles. I am pet CPR and first aid certified, I am pet a photographer doing a photo book on dogs with jobs. I have studied nutrition, aggression, body language, and more. I take the dogs everywhere from meeting horses to going on hikes. I have personally trained everything from tigers to lions to dogs. I currently train many dogs for production as well as train and board my client’s dogs. We have many dog friends nearby that we go play in our secured private dog park, the beach, and gets lots attention in the house. They are all welcome to sleep in bed with me and Maggie or take over one of the many dog beds. I am an American Kennel Club CGC evaluator. My own dog knows over 100 commands and loves when other dogs come over to visit and play with her. Each dog that is boarded with me gets love like my own. Maggie and I hope to meet you soon, we promise your dog will have lots of fun!

So amazing. Again and again I cannot speak more highly of Nicole. Rocky likes her more than me!

Nicole is AMAZING. I'm not joking, she went paddle boarding in the ocean with Rocky! I also got pictures of Rocky running with horses and playing with a giant turtle. My dog had a way better vacay than me :)

Rocky loves Nicole! Nicole does so many fun activities. I received photos of Rocky playing with horses and another with Rocky going surfing! Amazing. Life with me is boring, she loves going on vacation with Nicole. The best!

What can I say? Nicole is awesome! All of her experience as a trainer & (working-actor) dog owner shows, as she clearly has an in-depth understanding of how dogs think and why they behave the ways they do. She was so good to Omar, she really treated him like he was her own. After only 2 days, he was clearly bonded to Nicole. Even though it is kinda sad when you suspect your dog might not want to leave his sitter, it is also really awesome and makes you respect her that much more. I highly recommend Nicole if you truly want the 'vacay" in dogvacay. By that I mean a positive, enriching escape for your dog. Nicole also gave us very constructive advise on how to be better doggie owners and work with Omar on the areas we could use training. If you are looking for a trainer, do not hesitate to hire Nicole. She asks all the right questions and really cares about the adjustment and well-being of your pet. Thank you again!
