Patient and effective training! We feel very lucky to live in a community where Zoomies is available for our dogs. The level of support that they get here is very personalized, since we have two dogs with VERY different personalities. Our young, hyper, and reactive dog has been showing slow but steady improvement as she progresses through the Reactive Rover curriculum. Our calmer, older (admittedly also more stubborn) dog has been getting wonderful enrichment and a brush-up on her manners around people though the Academy curriculum. We've received essential advice for both of them through the home lessons option, where Nichole has come to our new house to help country dogs (and people) dial down the stress and get used to living in town. Each lesson comes with very organized notes and techniques we can practice throughout the week, or whenever our dogs need. Best of all, you will never be forced to use old-school misguided methods to "establish dominance" over your dogs here - just patience and understanding for dogs and humans alike, and positive reinforcement that really works when you invest enough time and practice into your relationship with your dog. Thank you, Zoomies!
Nichole has been WONDERFUL! I adopted a dog that had spent two years in a kennel and had developed some interesting habits. Nichole helped me understand a dog's point of view and calmly taught me gentle ways to work on her rough edges. We have made a lot of progress these past several months. My dog and I will keep practicing and keep taking classes from Nichole.
We (me and my border collie mix) did the reactive dog class and are in the second round. I’ve done a decent amount of training over the years with my dog but he was bit a couple times and is now fearful. I highly recommend, the small class sizes are so helpful to work through kinks in real time with different dogs. Plus, the price is great! We really appreciate Nicole.
I am impressed with the class. I love being able to ask specific questions and practice a new 'trick' each week.
