Nikao Working K9s- Dog Boarding and Training in East Texas

My two Belgian Malinois Are my family. Sydney and Brad treated them like their family. They have maximized their time with my babies, the training has been impeccable, the communication has been fantastic, and I feel like my dogs are much brighter, more responsive to my commands, and Overall, just much better dogs and I owe it all to them. I would without a doubt highly recommend them, and I plan on continuing to use them for the next levels of training for both my dogs.

Five Stars! We sent our bully mix, Stella, to Sydney at Nikao Working K9s for a 4-week board and train, and the difference in our household is truly night and day. Before the program, we were struggling with some stressful behavioral and territorial issues. Sydney completely turned things around. Not only did she take incredible care of Stella, but she is also a phenomenal communicator. Sending updates and photos twice a day completely calmed my anxiety about being away from our girl. Since Stella came home, Sydney has continued to answer all of my questions and offer invaluable advice—and every single bit of it actually works. If you are looking for a trainer you can trust completely, I cannot recommend Sydney and Nikao Working K9s enough!

I can’t rave enough about Nikao Working K9’s and Sydney! We absolutely recommend her and we never worry when we leave Maddie with her. We KNOW she will be taken care of. We drive over an hour each time and plan our vacays around her availability. Although we miss Maddie when we are gone, we know Sydney fills in as that extension of us. We know she’ll be cared for like family. ❤️ My husband and I have recommended her to other friends and all of them have passed along great experiences. Highly recommend!!!

I was so worried to bring my dog anywhere to be boarded. She spent her first few years of life being overlooked at the shelter. 2 years to be exact. The thought of boarding her struck fear in my heart bc I felt like she would think we abandoned her and that she was back in another shelter. It was clear from day 1, thanks to Sydney’s deep level of love for the dogs in her care, that our girl felt nothing but safe and loved during her stay not abandoned and scared. Each day Sydney spent time with our girl, walking her and playing with her. I got the sweetest photos every day which put my heart at ease and made me smile. I felt Sydney was just as invested in Marissa’s care and wellbeing as we are. I cannot recommend her enough and will likely do training with her as well based on the awesome boarding experience. Hands down the best boarding facility you will find!
