About Simply Canine Training

Simply Canine has been training dogs, big and small, since 2003 in both private and group settings working through real world challenges with patience and a smile in order to unleash our dogs full potential and maintain a calm and fulfilling dog/human relationship. Obedience: from the basics (heel, sit, down, stay and recall) to off-leash using praise and motivation as the primary reward, not depending on treats. Behavior: biting, chewing, digging, barking, jumping etc., along with environmental training challenges such as dog aggression, socialization, and reactivity in the presence of triggers.

Nicole was amazing to work with! She tailored every lesson to exactly what I needed to work on with my pup Bucky. Highly recommend Nicole as a trainer for any of your dog training needs! Bucky says thank you for helping him be the best boy!

Nicole is the best! We thought we could DIY our dog training and watched hours of YouTube videos on how to train our rescue puppy. Unfortunately, nothing we tried was enough to curb the negative results of his intense herding instincts and cat reactivity. Thankfully, we were referred to Nicole and we saw dramatic improvements from the very first session. She gives great insights into the root of behaviors, clear directions on how to respond to them, and helpful demonstrations on how to best lead our dog towards healthy behaviors. I will be recommending her to all the dog owners I know! P.S. Nicole's pricing is shockingly fair considering the quality of instruction and the fact that it's 1-on-1 at-home training. You can't beat the value.

Nicole was absolutely amazing! Her communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring from start to finish, which made the entire experience stress-free. She was incredibly effective and knowledgeable, clearly understanding our dog’s needs and behavior right away. What stood out most was how confident and calm she was—she not only helped build confidence in our dog, but in us as owners too. She took the time to explain things, offer reassurance, and made us feel supported every step of the way. We couldn’t recommend her more!

Nicole is an amazing dog trainer. We were having some behavioral issues with our dog, and after 3 sessions with Nicole and some disciplined work, our boy is so much better behaved. Nicole brings clear guidelines to training and you get the behavior out of your dog that you desire. I have worked with a few other trainers and none made training as achievable as Nicole. I highly recommend to anyone that needs help with their dog!
