I can't say enough good things about Zoomies! Nichole is fantastic with all the dogs, and Moose has really thrived under her guidance. She enjoys every group class and always comes home a happy and tired puppy. The training has made a noticeable difference in her behavior, and it's great to see her socializing and having fun with other dogs. I highly recommend Zoomies for anyone looking to train their furry friend in a positive and engaging environment.

I have been dealing with a reactive dog since the time I got him two years ago. Those of you who have similar dogs know the challenges and frustration of living with a reactive dog. Nicole has zeroed in on his triggers and is working with me to fine tune methods to control/manage his behavior. I finally have some hope for future less stressful walks! The training you (and your dog) get is personal and targeted. Nicole is fun to work with and loves all dogs no matter how challenging.

I brought my Labrador Retriever Tiffany to Zoomies for training since she was just a little puppy and her progress has been nothing short of fantastic.
Before starting puppy elementary she was very anxious. Most of these jitters she has since grown out of while progressing all the way to Academy Level 2. Nichole and her training program have grown my puppy’s confidence and obedience in a fun and easy to understand environment.
I highly recommend Zoomies, a true value to the Albany community.

I had an amazing experience working with Nichole at Zoomies for a dog training session with my two dogs, 'Iniki and Kimo. Nichole’s expertise and positive approach made all the difference in helping me understand how to better communicate with my dogs. She tailored the session to meet the specific needs of Iniki and Kimo, and I saw immediate improvements in their behavior.
What I appreciated most was Nichole's patience, clear guidance, and the fun, engaging environment she created for both me and my dogs. The tools and techniques she provided are easy to implement, and I’m already seeing positive changes at home. I’m so grateful for Nichole’s guidance and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for quality dog training!
