Certified in Dog Training (&loving)

Pet care experience

I’ve always loved dogs! My dream since early childhood has been to train dogs. Now, at 22, I a graduate of Dog Obedience with Animal Behavior College and fully certified. I have trained puppies for a couple clients, worked with service animals at the Seeing Eye, and been in both kennel and daycare environments for 2 years. I love every breed, big or small and appreciate every personality! My profile picture features my own canine companion, Rileigh, who is a Rhodesian Ridgeback and Terrier mix. She is 5 years old and my best friend.

Nicole was amazing. I have three recently adopted from rescue German Shepherds who all have issues to deal with. One who is very large, in declining health, with severe Ortho and human fear issues, an 8 year old with similar issues, and a very active 2-3 year old just finding his way. She was very good with all of them. She had to be innovative with the ones who went on hunger strike because mom left, and those who wanted to only eat in private, and do in and so on. I came home to happy healthy dogs and a clean home. She did a great job.

If you looking for someone that is great with dogs Nicole is your person. She has knowledge about how to train dogs and somethings about fear aggression in dogs. And if she doesn't know she does the research. I would trust Nicole with my dogs any day.

Nicole is an animal lover and caregiver. She is also just became a certified dog trainer. She helped raise an train our very nervous and excitable rescue dog starting at approximately 6 months old. Nicole also was instrumental in training two of my friends puppies with a focus on walking. I would recommend her to anyone.
