Niki the Dog Trainer, LLC

We were referred to Niki by a local dog training school that didn't have any space. How lucky for us that they recommended her! Our German Shepherd Rocky absolutely loved working with Niki! (and so did we). Niki was incredibly talented at working with Rocky who has a hard time not being super reactive (barking/growling/lunging) and is pretty nervous around strangers, especially inside the apartment. Niki quickly won over Rocky and showed us how to modify our behavior to help Rocky become less reactive. It has absolutely changed our relationship with our dog for the better and was the best money we have ever spent. Not only is Niki extremely knowledgeable and professional, but she is also a great person as well. We felt extremely comfortable with her in our home and she is always super communicative by email and text. We loved the emails we would get from Niki after our sessions with a review of what we covered and homework to do between sessions. We cannot recommend Niki enough for any other dog owners out there who need a little extra help and guidance. You will not regret it!

Today we finished up our training sessions with Niki, and I can’t say enough about what a great experience it was! Niki has transformed my nervous, reactive Rotty/Staffy mix, and over-excited, obsessive Heeler/Husky mix into the kind of sweet, social pups we dreamed of. We met for our last session at Home Depot, where my pups were both going right up to strangers and doing their best sits for pets and treats! They walked calmly by loud machines, carts, and other dogs, and I was completely blown away! Thanks again for everything, Niki!
