"Our trainer, Niki, was amazing! She was so great with our very shy dog, Moose. Niki did an amazing job of getting him to come out of his shell and get him excited about our sessions. After our lessons together he knew all of his basic commands and we learned a ton of new and valuable information. She was great with responding to texts and always made herself available even if we weren't in session. Thank you Niki!"

"Niki worked with me and my rodigan ridgeback for 6 weeks. My husband was about to give up due to how unruly Fiona the dog was. After the first visit with Niki he saw improvement from our puppy (1yr). At lesson 3 we started implementing tricks. Niki was able to give me the needed tools to walk my strong dog alone as well as all of the much needed basics. I'm beyond grateful for the help and change in my pup!"

"Niki is fantastic, I can't imagine a better trainer anywhere on earth. Niki is the sweetest, most patient, delightful person and fantastic trainer. She taught my dog everything I wanted her to know, and then some. She did so in a manner that was easy for me to learn and emulate. I will continue to reach out to Niki in the future for all of my dogs' training and pet sitting needs. Niki is a sweet soul and a wonderful human being. If I could give her 10 stars I would!"

"I loved working with Niki. Niki came to our house weekly for our dog's lessons. Niki was always on time, had great suggestions for how we could help our dog become his best self, and would follow up after the lessons with tips and resources. The training we did was tailored to our dog, his needs, and what motivated him the most (snacks!). She helped us to understand how we could work with him to be a better listener. Niki gave us tools and techniques that we can use to improve his skills."
