Norka is amazing with dogs especially with multiple dogs in one home. I have a pack of 7 and 2 fosters and she has done amazing getting them all acclimated. Norka’s gentle, clear, and has a no bs approach. I recommend her to all the rescues in need. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for behavior modification for your dog(s). One of my dogs was showing aggression and she handled him with care and explained in detail how I could help fix it. Not once did she yell at my dog, not once did she correct my dog, not once did she intimidate my dog, she helped me understand why my dog was reacting and how to predict and prevent him from acting the way he did. I highly recommend her for all of your dogs needs.
– Client
Norka truly is a gem. We had encountered three trainers prior to finding her. Norka’s approach to dog training is tailored to address the specific and unique needs of the family. Our dog, Darcy, struggled with serious reactivity towards other dogs and was fearful of her surroundings. With Norka’s help, Darcy has much more confidence and is able to go for walks and enjoy the park with ease . Norka is patient and kind and she helped bridge the communication gap between us humans and our dog. She also was willing to drive out to meet us at different locations, like the park, for our sessions to really maximize the effectiveness of the training. We are so thankful for Norka! She is the only dog trainer we will ever need.
