What do customers have to say?
Thanks to Nicole, I have been able to make huge strides with my Australian Shepherd Lizzy. Thanks to Nicole's methods, Lizzy and I have made enormous progress. Both the biting behaviour and separation anxiety have completely disappeared. In short, I would highly recommend anyone looking for a dog trainer to contact Nicole. Her observations and advice are on a much higher level than the average dog trainer.

Nicole has helped us tremendously with the introduction of our adopted dog and our resident cats. She made sure to check in regularly, give personalized advice and helped us in understanding how we can help our animals and what we need to do. We went from our dog being totally fixated at the cats, eyeing their every movement and not being able to disconnect or relax when she saw them to being in the same room, resting, chewing on a toy. We recommend her dearly!

Nicole was such a lifesaver to us and the dog we fostered…and recently adopted :) Having been a stray dog for a while, he was showing fear based aggressive behaviors, which even resulted in biting in multiple occasions. It was almost impossible for us to take him on a walk because he would either freeze for fear or try to bite people’s feet. This has drastically improved thanks to Nicole and the exercises she showed us! She took the time to explain so many things to us and constantly checks in to know how our dog is doing. I warmly recommend her!

Nicole is amazing with dogs and wonderful with people too 🙂. We took our new dog , 2 year old rescue to her a week ago. He has some problems in food resource , greeting visitors, people resource, lunging at some dogs when on a walk, separation anxiety...and the list goes on🙄🙂 . Watching her work with him was like watching magic unraveling before your eyes! Her method is positive training. She talked us through each step. The extra bonus is her after school help. She's always on hand to answer our questions and help us along our journey in training him at home. Always patient and gives extra tips and tricks. Totally recommend her.

The best dog behavior specialist we've met! Highly recommended for anybody interested in more than dog training; Nicole helps you understand dog psychology and body language. She uses positive reinforcement techniques which were the number one criterion for us selecting a dog behavior specialist. Always doing more than one could expect. We also trusted Nicole to board our dog to her house, Lulu didn’t want to leave!

I boarded my Giant Schnauzer with Nicole, when I was a few days away. For me, it was vital to leave him not in a kennel, but with someone who could provide him (more or less with) the same (training and life) schedule as I provide my dog. Nicole was wonderful in all regards. She was available for updates, she made a lot of pictures and videos, she trained with my GS, and is just a very nice person in general (not just with dogs ;-).
