Great experience! She loves her animals. You are going to the best for positive behavior training with your pets!
Nicki was fantastic with our Rio. She helped us with leash pulling, approaching strangers/other dogs, and barking at home. From the first session, and with lots of consistency practicing Nicki’s tips, Rio is a much more well-behaved pup.

Nova and I are extremely grateful.
