FirstBarkNicole was super nice. Came into our house and did the evaluation and provided a lot of useful info, then I texted her to book a training with my dog and she just never got back to me. No follow up or anything, which I thought was kind of strange. Seemed like there was potential but in the end didn’t work out unfortunately.

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.

Our 9-year-old dog has leash aggression that was preventing us from taking him out places with us. We went to Nicole at Simply Canine for help. She came to our house and met with us for at least an hour. Our dog loved her right away! She got to know him and us, explained how she could help, and quoted us a very reasonable price for three sessions. As a result of working with her, we have learned how to work with our dog to reduce his leash aggression, and now feel confident that we can control him in public. We would not hesitate to recommend Simply Canine to anyone who needs help with behavioral issues for their dog. Thank you!
Nicole helped us with our two dogs who had gotten into a terrible fight. We thought we would have to keep them separated forever. Nicole taught us how to be the ones in control. She was amazing with the dogs. They are now back to being together and have respect for one another but more importantly respect for us. I would highly recommend Simply Canine to anyone looking to train.
Cannot say enough good things about Nicole and Jim's care of our two dogs Reilly and Riz. Every time we go on vacation we know our pups feel at home and pretty much on vacation themselves!
Excellent trainer! Calm, efficient, and miracle working. Watching Nicole work with a pack of dogs, it is immediately apparent who is the Alpha.
