Nikki is an amazing dog trainer. She truly knows dogs.
– Client

Tucker had major socialization issues with other dogs. He is a bear at 115 lbs. so not easy to handle physically. Nikki met with us and Tucker, and talked about what direction she thought we should go with him. With her reputation, we agreed to follow her. It was the best decision we have made with our dog. She trained us to work with our dog and how to handle and react and be proactive towards his training. We now feel totally comfortable taking Tucker around other dogs, and he amazes us with everything he does. Nikki got us to unlock another part of our dog that we probably never would have seen had we not contacted her. We cant thank her enough for training us to be better parents to Tucker.
