Professional Dog Trainer
Pet care experience
My name is Nicole. I have been working with animals, mostly dogs for 8+ years. I currently own an indoor dog training & daycare facility called Canine Odyssey. All boarding is taken place inside my home. There is NO boarding at the facility in Chelmsford. If you’d like to see more information regarding me and my work, feel free to follow Canine Odyssey on Facebook and Instagram. You’ll be able to see that I work with various types of dogs that vary from friendly dogs, puppies, to dogs with behavioral issues. I work and train all types of breeds, sizes, and temperaments on a daily basis. I do not discriminate to any dog breed or behavioral temperament. I am able to physically handle big breed dogs as well as any aggression issues. I have dealt with behaviors such as fear aggression, dog aggression, and aggression towards people. As well as leash reactivity (lunging/biting at people/dogs) and separation anxiety. Aside from Behavioral dogs that need some love and attention, I also offer obedience training. From beginner on leash skills to advanced off leash training, get a jump start on your dogs training while you are away to teach them proper manners. That being said, there isn’t a dog that I can’t handle! Every dog that enters my household undergo a structured routine everyday so everyone is on the same page. On my free time, I like to take the dogs to the open fields, hiking trails, and public social events too. As for feeding, everything is based on your instructions and applying any medication. I do NOT do daycare or overnight boarding over weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Boarding must be from Friday to Monday schedule only if planning a weekend getaway. If your boarding reservation starts or ends on a weekend (Saturday & Sunday), I only do 9am appointments ONLY! Please understand I do this full time everyday, and like to enjoy off time with the dogs hiking in the woods and adventuring new places with them as well. If the 9am appointments do not work, then you will have to modify your reservation to either drop off a day earlier, or extend a day later varying on your reserved dates. ANNOUNCEMENT: For new booking inquiries, messages are not responded to during the weekend. I will get back to you during weekday business hours (8am-6pm). If you have any questions/interest, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.
Reviews
Nicole is great! I feel so comfortable leaving my dog, who comes with his own anxiety and fearful tendencies, but Nicole handles him like a pro!
Overall Bridget and Ruby came home healthy and happy, but I was disappointed in the lack of communication while they were away for eight days. I have been used to other Rover boarders that sent texts and photos every day. This definitely gives a sense of peace and security while the owners are away from their pets.
We are so thankful to Nicole for helping us when we were in a pickle! We were able to confidently leave Larry in her care knowing he would be cared for by a knowledgeable professional who loves dogs. She was professional, responsive, and clearly loves animals. We are very thankful to have a safe place to leave Larry and would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for dog care.
Nicole & team were awesome. We were in a pinch and reached out last minute to Nicole for daycare. She was extremely quick to respond and was happy to take our girl in on such short notice. She answered all of our questions and took amazing care of Bailey.After day one, our pup was super excited to go back day 2 and 3. We will 100% be using Nicole again!

If the dog has any current food allergies and/or medical conditions that must be provided prior to the booking reservation.
