– Nikki
“We had an incredible experience with Always Training K9s! Nikki is not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly patient, as our dog Norman probably wasn’t the easiest dog to work with. Thanks to Nikki’s expertise and guidance, Norman has come so far!… We’re so grateful for Nikki and Always Training K9s. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”
– Norman’s Owner
“Our dog Pebbles just completed a 2-week board and train, and we are beyond impressed with the results. She has come home calmer, less anxious, and so much more confident. The difference has been remarkable… I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking for effective, compassionate training.”
– Pebbles’ Owner
About the Trainer
Always Training K9s is a dog training business led by Nikki, who provides personalized training programs tailored to both the dog and the owner. She evaluates each dog’s behavior and the owner’s needs to create a customized plan that addresses issues like separation anxiety, reactivity, fearfulness, and leash pulling, while helping dogs reach their full potential. Nikki offers a Two Week Board and Train program where dogs stay in a home-like environment, learning good house manners and obedience—both on and off leash. She also provides ongoing support to owners, equipping them with the confidence and tools to maintain their dog’s progress at home. Her approach focuses on calm, assertive leadership and positive, sustainable techniques that get to the root of behavioral problems, not just surface symptoms.
In addition to training, she offers pet boarding with comfort and structure, ensuring dogs learn appropriate behavior while away from home. She works with all dog ages, from puppies to seniors, and specializes in helping anxious, reactive, and rescued dogs thrive. Clients consistently praise her patience, expertise, and ability to transform difficult situations into calm, happy homes.
Accomplishments
Nikki is highly recommended by Wags & Walks and has earned consistent praise from clients for her expertise with reactive and anxious dogs. Her methods are described as professional, compassionate, and effective, resulting in dramatic behavioral improvements. She is certified as a CPDT-KA.
