Always Training K9s

Our only regret is not contacting Nikki sooner. Watson had zero recall, no manners, and basically used everyone as a chew toy or a jumping pad. Imagine a dog with ADHD who never found the 'off' switch—that was her. In just two weeks, she’s a different dog: she actually comes when called, handles walks like a pro, and sits patiently for greetings. Nikki didn't just train Watson; she trained us, giving us the confidence to handle any situation. Hands down, the best decision we’ve ever made. Don't struggle with a difficult dog when Nikki can get them on the right path so quickly.

Nikki is truly a godsend when it comes to dog training. We sent our 12-week-old Rottweiler, Cersei, to her one-week training program, and it was the best decision we could have made. That early foundation was so important in helping her successfully fit into our family and home. Cersei is now 6 months old and doing amazing. Nikki’s training made a huge difference, and she’s absolutely worth every penny. What really sets her apart is her continued support, she’s always just a text away for troubleshooting. She even helped us stop kennel barking with one simple tip! We’ve also used her guidance with our 6-year-old Frenchie and have seen improvement there too. I can’t recommend Nikki enough she’s knowledgeable, thorough, and truly invested in her clients’ success

Nikki is amazing. You can tell she really knows what she is talking about and loves the animals. I have been having issues with some resource guarding with a rescue and she opened my eyes to looking at things in a different way. There were so many things I wasn't considering with the issue and she made them very clear. One week later and I'm already seeing amazing progress with my big guy and his issue with resource guarding.

It's fair to say that Nikki is one of the most brilliant, impressive people we've ever met in our life. Her mastery, her level of excellence, her expertise in dog training is at a whole different level than anyone we've EVER met in the pet world. We sent our 2-year boy Dakota (who we adopted from Wags & Walks) to Nikki's two week bootcamp for a full experience training him, in every capacity. From commands, to potty, to behavior, and everything in between... Dakota came back a different dog. We called him a "Green Beret" - because he was the best trained dog we had ever seen.. and he was OURS. Almost a year later, he is just as well behaved as he's always been. There is no one we trust more than Nikki. What's more, when we were done with the two weeks, the training didn't end! Nikki was there for us whenever we need her or have questions. She's been SO dedicated to Dakota's success and will call, text, voice note whenever something comes up. She's also come over for tune up trainings whenever we ask. We have been deeply moved by Nikki's care and dedication to the happy life of our dog, but all dogs. Her passion is so clear and her brilliance is unlike I've ever seen. Working with her has not only made us better dog owners, but better people. She's truly changed our life and there is no we would trust more or recommend more than her. She's in a completely different league.

5 Stars really aren’t enough for Nikki! We were recommended to her after our most recent rescue pup got in an altercation with her brother. We had Olive for about 6 months before we met Nikki. Olive was always very unsure, not confident in herself and always seemed to be “on”. It was heartbreaking for us, because we only wanted her to thrive in our home. Nikki came in at first, for in-home training. Even after a couple of sessions we noticed Olive changing. We knew a board and train would help give her (and us) the tools we needed to better help her. I don’t think I could ever put into words what 2 weeks with Nikki has done for Olive. She has come back a completely different dog. She is more confident, loving and the most incredible transformation was watching her learn to just relax. She is not only an enjoying life in our home but she is THRIVING. She LOVES to work on her recalls now and is just so proud of herself. If you are thinking about training just know Nikki has completely changed our home life and given Olive something I thought she would never get- the ability to give and receive love. We will never be able to thank her for enough. Nikki is incredibly talented and knowledgeable in her field. She gives you all the tools you need to build a successful relationship for you and your pups. She is also just an all around incredible human! We will sing her praises forever!
