Hiking and training
Pet care experience
I believe that dogs need exercise to be happy and well adjusted. I love being outside, hiking and exploring with dogs. I am an experienced hiking and survival guide, with horse and dog training experience. I also just finished a guidebook on hiking with dogs in Utah and am excited to continue exploring the trails around the state. I am very mindful of the different needs dogs have and am very understanding of preferences different owners have regarding their dog's needs. I have had help in the past with my dogs while I was working and would like to pay it forward for other owners that need support. I think dogs are incredibly special animals that deserve care, attention, love, exercise, and training. They are wonderful companions and consider myself lucky to be in the presence of them.

Nicole was amazing. We weren’t sure what our exact schedule was but Nicole was so accommodating. My dog instantly felt comfortable with her which was so reassuring! I’d definitely contact Nicole again next time we are in Salt Lake!
Nicole is the BEST! She was perfect for my June girl who had a blast playing with her dogs and going to work with everyone. I can't think of a better place to have my dog go, she was so well taken care of. Thank you, Nicole, for being so awesome!
Nicole is amazing! Not only will she take my dog out on a good hike or walk around the neighborhood, but she'll work on training while she's doing it. We met up before her first walk and discussed my training needs and issues with my dog and she's been so great working on those issues each walk as well as offering me advice and tips on how to improve my training at home. I would recommend her to anyone.
Nicole was great! She picked up my dog and took her for an hour long hike along with her own dog. One thing I really loved is that not only did she provide exercise for my dog, Nicole also worked on some training that we discussed during our meet and greet. After her visit, she left good notes and a few pictures of the pups during the hike. I'll definitely be using her again!

Information Nicole T. would like to know about your pet
Do you have an on or off leash dog? What does recall mean to you? What are the behaviors you expect while out hiking? What does food aggression look like to you, does your dog display that behavior? Are you honest about your dogs level of training? How often are you with your dog? What is your favorite thing you love about your dog? What is the most challenging thing about your dog? Why did you choose your dog? How healthy is your dog? How do you reward your dog? What training methods have you used with your dog? What is a perfect day with you and your dog? What would you like me to know about your dog? I love border collies, but don't have a preference.
A typical day
I have experience ranging from multi-day backpacking trips, to urban hiking, to dog parks and all are enjoyable to me. I love exploring new areas and recreating past experiences with dogs and know that covering ground is one of the foundations in creating relationships.
