Any Breed Training is a professional, in-home dog training service based in Bellevue, WA, offering personalized training for dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavioral needs. The trainer, Nikki, is a certified animal behaviorist with a Degree in Zoology and Animal Behavior from the University of Washington and over 28 years of hands-on experience. She specializes in positive reinforcement training that avoids treats, clickers, and punitive collars, instead teaching owners to use attention and praise as rewards to build a respectful, lasting bond with their dogs. Training is conducted in the client’s home and real-world environments like parks and neighborhoods to ensure practical, lasting results. Nikki works with puppies, newly adopted dogs, and dogs with behavioral issues including reactivity, leash pulling, potty training, jumping, and fearfulness. Her approach is judgment-free, focused on understanding the dog’s individual needs, and tailored to the owner’s lifestyle and goals.

She also trains dogs of all sizes—from small breeds to giant breeds—and has successfully helped owners of herding, working, sporting, and mixed-breed dogs. Her training philosophy emphasizes leadership through positive attention, not force, and she believes group classes often increase stress and hinder progress. Clients report dramatic improvements after just one session, with many noting their dogs became calmer, more responsive, and better integrated into family life.

Nikki’s own dog, Rockford, is a working partner and living example of her methods. She provides written instructions, follows up via email, and adapts sessions to fit the dog’s environment and the owner’s schedule.
