Training Carolina Dogs

Rave reviews for Nicole-she is the absolute BEST dog trainer! From our very first meeting, it was clear that Nicole not only was highly knowledgeable about dogs but had a genuine passion for wanting dogs and their owners to thrive together-living their best lives! Shug and Jules loved her from the start. Our high energy doodle, Shug went for the board and train and Jules went for a 4 day refresher on the end. Nicole is calm, compassionate and positive with her approach. We loved getting daily pics and videos via text. Her communication is top notch! Shug is a dream dog now! Jules is too of course but Niole set the bar with Shug. I can take him anywhere with me now and everyone comments on how well behaved he is. I especially love that I can take him on trail hikes now off-leash and he’s right back by my side if I recall him with a ‘tone’. Well-behaved dogs bring so much JOY! Recently I was gone and my housekeepers were scheduled. Typically Shug would greet them by jumping on them and knocking over their stuff…luckily they love dogs too☺️ I texted them and let them know to say PLACE when they walked in. They were amazed and sent this picture! Proud dog momma moment and dog trainer moment! Nicole is amazing—I simply cannot recommend her highly enough!!!

Our 4 year old mini goldendoodle did a 2.5 week Board and Train with Nicole. It absolutely changed our lives with our dog. Before training he was stubborn, sneaky, and resource guarding. He also had a chewing habit that was destructive. His time with her was enriching and fulfilling. She taught him all his commands and how to be neutral in a variety of environments. She taught us how to communicate with him and handle him. As a result, we now have a super loving and well behaved dog. We are committed to continuing all of what she taught us because we see the overwhelming value. We are so glad we invested in training.

Highly recommend Nicole and her services. We did a month of day training with our 7 month old lab. Within the first week - he was a different dog. Her gentle approach, building each day and the way she communicates constantly allowed us to incorporate at home on evenings and weekends. We can easily take him out to places or around kids or other dogs and feel comfortable he will listen and be well behaved. He loved all his field trips and making friends while training. We call her the dog whisperer! Thanks for helping us teach Snoop - he can’t wait to come stay with you soon!!

Nicole has a gift… that not only will your dog but also your family will benefit from by her skills and passion for dog training. An energetic, needing a job field golden (unlike her older old soul brother) had me at my wit’s end. Nicole immediately changed my mindset that she wasn’t a bad dog… just a dog needing some support and a job. Nicole develops a toolbox of skills in your dog that encompass the physical to the mental which are successful across environments. She is detailed, communicative, and makes sure you have no questions. She individualizes everything for the dog and no one size fits all. Highly recommend!!
