Any Breed Training

Nikki is a top quality dog trainer. She helped us training of our high energy, independent, male Anatolian Shepherd giant puppy. We had tried couple of trainers and got in touch with many puppy training facilities before we found Nikki and can definitely say that Nikki is the most knowledgeable, reliable trainer who uses humane training techniques. Training a giant puppy has it unique challenges and whenever we felt panicked, lost or anxious, Nikki showed us the right way to deal with each specific issue. Nikki listens to you, your puppy’s problems and the areas you want to focus and she plans a training session %100 special for you. Now I can walk my 120 lbs 1 year old puppy in crowded downtown area with confidence, can take him to off leash dog parks, can share my indoor/outdoor social activities effortlessly. If you want to create a healthy leader (owner) – follower(dog) relationship with your puppy and have a social dog Nikki is your trainer!

Nikki has been great to work with and our dog's behavior has improved greatly. At 15 months our border collie decided that he no longer wanted to go for walks, he'd rather just play fetch in the yard. After a few frustrating attempts I interviewed a couple of trainers and started working with Nikki. She was quick to assess the situation and recommend a positive strategy for teaching Charlie what was expected and how to work through situations that made him uneasy. We were quickly back to walks in the neighborhood and even walks around the crowds before Seahawk games in Seattle.

I almost don't want to share [her] (compete for her time). Nikki has been very good as well as patient with both Bo (puppy/fur-baby) and his fur-parents. She is always accommodating to what we want (gets on furniture or not, etc.) Offers advice to curb less desirable habits. A few planned sessions turns into more and more as our household learns more and more. 100% recommend (just don't squeeze us out by taking our time).

I have a 60 lb. pitbull that is friendly but a leash puller and a jumper. I have seen huge improvement after only two sessions with Nikki. She is helping me address those specific problems but in the process I’m getting better behavior in general. My dog, The Dude, and I are happier and not so frustrated. I also love the way Nikki conducts training sessions. Before you start an exercise, she explains the purpose and why you are doing this exercise, what you will be doing, what to expect from your dog and how you should react. Then she demonstrates or gives guidance as needed during the exercise. You understand what you are doing and you know what to expect. It gives you confidence. I look forward to training sessions with Nikki and come away amazed at the response I get from The Dude. That hasn’t been my experience in the past with training/trainers where I dreaded going to classes and didn’t get lasting behavior changes. Any Breed Training is the best. Highly recommended.
