Modern, ethical, effective training is about honoring dogs for the sentient beings they are and training in a way that doesn’t cause harm. We do that by understanding their behavior and how they learn; meeting their needs; proactively teaching life skills with positive reinforcement; and modifying their behavior with force-free methods. That’s what you’ll find here!
What my clients are saying...
Hi, I'm Nikki. I started training dogs in 2012 and I’ve always loved working with dogs who have “behavior problems” of all kinds, including reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety, stranger danger, and more.
My current method of training is informed by science, grounded in ethical considerations, and rich in positive experiences. We’ll achieve results, but they won’t come at your dog’s expense.
