Testimonials
“Nicole is an excellent trainer. Had trainers previously for Shakira with no results. I was becoming very frustrated. Nicole focuses on the individual dog and has taught me how to train my dog. Shakira has shown great improvement in her behavior. Both Shakira and I say Thanks!”
-Karen
“We had gotten a 4 month old pit bull and his name is Diesel. Nicole was very patient and loving with Diesel and he responded to her commands. Diesel does not chase our Boston terriers or jump on them anymore. I can take pictures of the 3 of them all sitting together. Nicole Rocks!!!”
-Maryann
“When I first started working with Nicole I was on my THIRD trainer! I was at my wits end in tears! She was fantastic! She connected with us instantly! She gave me the tools and confidence I needed to train Gracie our chocolate lab. I highly recommend Nicole as a trainer. You won’t be disappointed!”
