I’m Nicole, a dedicated canine behavior specialist with a lifelong passion for working with dogs. From a young age, I knew my calling was to understand and support our four-legged friends, and I’ve built a career around that commitment.

My expertise is backed by over a decade of experience working with animals. As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA), I have completed over 300 hours of practical training. This has equipped me with the skills needed to address a wide range of behavioral issues. My Certified Behavior Consultant Canine-Knowledge Assessed (CBCC-KA) also signifies another 300 hours of specialized experience working with fearful, reactive, or shy dogs.

My approach centers on positive reinforcement and gentle training methods to ensure each dog receives the individualized attention they need. I aim to help you and your dog develop a trusting relationship, leading to a well-behaved companion. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your dog.
