The Collar Club Academy

Just WOW! NIKKI and team at the collar club go above and beyond in every way. If you want trainers with both great knowledge, heart and patience with the dogs as well as heart for the people who own the dogs this is your trainer. The collar club exceeded my expectations in every way with my diamond in the rough pound rescue dog Wylie... eliminated his bad habits and taught him skills to make him a great companion and service to me. TRUE TALENT and reasonably priced! If the collar club was ever dogs trainer there would be NO dogs in the pound. Thank you Nikki and all the trainers that worked with Wylie!

Before Mz. B joined The Collar Club Academy’s Board and Train program, she was an Angel in the House and behaviorally challenged in public. She is a feisty little pup who was ruled by fear and anxiety out in the world. This made it extremely difficult to enjoy the outdoors because of her varying levels of uneasiness. My sister and I miraculously happened upon Ms. Nikki and we immediately knew she was the woman for the job. Our once dysregulated pup was equipped with the mental and physical tools needed to relax in the enjoyment of being cared for by her humans. Nikki taught us how to communicate effectively in ways our dog could understand. She helped us learn how to make our dog feel safe and secure which is helping to build her confidence as well as ours as her caregivers. Nikki and her team are phenomenal!! Our lives have been positively impacted by their hard work, knowledge of dogs, attention to details in regard to our dog, training abilities and clear communication. Mz. B is living her life to the fullest and growing into the awareness that she can simply enjoy being a dog with less fear and more fun!!! Thank You Nikki and Team for being one of a kind amazing!!!

Anxious, Aggressive, Fearful, Insecure, Unpredictable, Willful are the keywords that describe aspects of my pups characteristics. But she is also very Sweet, Loving, Adorable, Smart, Friendly, and Loyal. Her positive qualities were often overshadowed by her fear based ones. I had actively done all that I could do, training, positive reinforcement, socializing… You name it, I’ve tried it. The Collar Club is the MIRACLE I knew I needed, but hadn’t quite found yet, until one fateful day I did. I couldn’t be happier. My pup completed the three weeks Board & Train Program. Nikki and her team are masterful and skilled in the art of dog transformations. My dog is a difficult one in that she is very smart which makes her “easy” to train. However, she has many sides to her that turns “easy” into complex because she likes to buck the system and go rogue lol. Nikki and Crew took the time to get to know the intricacies of her personality and tailored a behavior modification/training program that matched her specific needs. I love how well they got to know my dog. I received daily progress reports! I knew my pup was safe in the best hands possible. Nikki is patient, thorough, communicative, responsive, professional, personable, thoughtful, no nonsense and very present. I love her approach and the community she has created. She is constantly thinking of ways to help the human helped the canine. Nikki is a high quality trainer who only uses high quality tools and interventions. The tools (lead and collar) Nikki recommended are durable and of the highest quality. This is comforting for this dog mom who has spent an astronomical amount on tools that become useless after a couple of weeks because my dog gets accustomed to things quickly and then they become ineffective. I feel like every tool and strategy that has been provided matches the complex needs of my dog. I could truly go on and on and on and on about how grateful I am for Nikki, Lora, Mickalea, and Alex. I can now take my dog out in public and not be on edge the whole time as uncertainties pop up. I have been equipped with the knowledge I need to strengthen my relationship with my pup and be the leader she needs me to be. I was provided with clear directives and commands as well as given visuals to help everything become concrete in my mind. Nikki is very decisive and concise in her training which makes it extremely easy for the brain to process and store the information. My confidence has grown as a result of meeting Nikki and going through the Board & Train process. Best yet is I know I have met someone who will always be there for my pup and me. She remains available even beyond the 3 weeks, which provides the ultimate comfort and security needed to see this process through beyond the walls of The Collar Club Academy’s facility. Nikki and Crew are a unique combination of personable and professional, down to earth and about business. With them I never felt like a means to an end. They make you feel like they truly care because they do. They care a ton about each individual human and dog. Every action they take and word they speak is infused with genuine passion and care. That means the world to me. I am eternally grateful for going through this transformative process with The Collar Club Academy. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Nikki, Lora, Mickalea, and Alex!!!!

SOOO happy we found the Collar Club team. My 6-month old puppy Hilo and I took their 5-week basic obedience group class, and we loved it. Hilo is a miniature pinscher, an intelligent but sometimes stubborn breed especially when it comes to training, so I was curious to see how well he did in class. The results were better than I could have imagined — Lora and the Collar Club team did an AMAZING job with Hilo, and he made so much progress in those 5 weeks. Hilo is such a well-behaved dog now, thank you Collar Club Academy!! 💕
