Testimonials
I have been patiently waiting to write this review about my experience with Training Carolina Dogs because I wanted to see how the training my female Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy received would stick in our daily lives post training and if it would pass the test of time!…I can easily and happily say that the training Monty received during her time with Nicole has changed our family’s life for the better. I cannot recommend her services enough and I will continue to recommend her to anyone that was or is in the same situation we were in! 10/10

We can’t say enough good things about Nicole! Our dog was completely wild when we first brought her to training — full of energy, jumping on everyone, and showing some aggression. Now, she’s truly the best dog ever! She’s calm, listens to us, and still has a fun, playful puppy personality.
– Client
Nicole is amazing!! Our two goldendoodles went for training to learn commands, recall, get in and out of the car and without anxiety. The commands they learned has made our lives less stress and theirs too!! Since they learned the stay command when we have guests there is no more jumping on our guests; a total game changer!! I highly recommend you wont be disappointed and life with your dog will be more enjoyable!!

About the Trainer
Training Carolina Dogs is a dog training business based in Charlotte, NC, led by owner and lead trainer Nicole. They specialize in balanced dog training methods that combine positive reinforcement with appropriate corrections to help dogs and owners build stronger, more communicative relationships. Services include board & train programs (Puppy Boot Camp, 2.5-week Adult Boot Camp, and 3-week Behavioral Modification Boot Camp), 1:1 private lessons, and day training (structured daycare with training). The business focuses on real-life scenarios, teaching dogs to be off-leash reliable, calm in public, and well-behaved at home. Nicole emphasizes empowering owners through education, providing lifetime support, video updates during board & train, and follow-up sessions to ensure long-term success. Their training tools include treats, clickers, slip leashes, prong collars, and e-collars (non-shock, low-level stimulation), introduced properly to ensure positive association.
They serve dogs of all ages—from puppies to adults—with specialties in leash reactivity, separation anxiety, resource guarding, recall, and basic obedience. Their unique advantage is the combination of intensive, home-based training environments and ongoing owner education, ensuring dogs retain skills and owners feel confident continuing training at home.
Accomplishments
Nicole has trained hundreds of dogs over 4 years professionally, was mentored by Keely Korbel of Ruff Rules, and founded Training Carolina Dogs after successfully rehabilitating her own reactive dog, Luna. She has no formal certifications listed but has hands-on experience and client-validated results.
