Niki the Dog Trainer, LLC

Niki the Dog Trainer offers private, in-home sessions, each lasting 75 minutes. The training covers a wide range of issues, categorized into “Puppies & The Basics” and “Behavior Modification.”

Puppy training focuses on crucial topics like socializing, potty training, biting & chewing, and preventing anxiety. Basic obedience includes commands such as sit, down, come, stay, leave it, wait, and off, along with exercise, mental stimulation, leash manners, and addressing attention-seeking behaviors.

Behavior modification addresses issues like overexcitement, fear, anxiety, and aggression, including specific problems such as leash reactivity, reactivity to new people, separation anxiety, door bolting, fence fighting, reactivity to outside stimuli, destructive behavior, and lack of boundaries. The approach involves working together to determine the best training plan for your dog, emphasizing practice and patience.
