Positive training along CT's southern shoreline
|
My goal is to use positive training methods to foster connections between pets and their owners. I use positive training methods not only because they work, but want the best for your dog.

What our clients are saying:
"Nikky’s training comes from a place of kindness & respect for every animal & client she works with. I adopted a strong dog from the shelter who proved to be challenging on walks. In no time at all, Nikky taught Monty (and me) commands to help us navigate our walks together with less frustration and much more fun! Monty loves spending time with Nikky. She provides joyful & impactful training and enrichment exercises & he continues to grow in both skills and confidence! I am so grateful!"

"Nikky is a puppy and human favorite in this house! She is so passionate about her job and my family always feels so comfortable when our dogs are in her care. She is punctual, reliable, and so loving to my pups. The pups always get so excited when they see Nikky come through the door. She has done overnights while on vacation, walks, and has recently offered her training services which have had a positive impact to the dogs daily life. We are so happy with all the services Nikky provides! 10/10 service"

"Nikky has been a trusted caregiver for my pair of house rabbits for over 5 years now. She's been incredibly reliable, and communicative. I always appreciate the daily updates she sends along. Nikky makes my travels less stressful because I know my pets are in good hands with her."

"Complete peace of mind! That’s the best way to describe my feelings when I need to leave my pet in the capable hands of Nikky. She has cared for Seamus since he was a puppy, and before that she cared for my elderly cat. She has cared beautifully for my pets during my long term trips as well as when I simply need her to take my dog on a hike. She is very responsible, prompt, knowledgeable, communicative and caring and most importantly, she is adored by Seamus. She texts me pictures daily, too!
