About

My motto is: training humans one dog at a time.

I have 7+ yrs in positive reinforcement training in both group class and private settings. When I work with you and your dog, I will always explain the "why" of the situation so that you can better understand what your dog is communicating and how they communicate in general.

Amazing trainer, helped us out a lot during the puppy phase with our dog and we could not have gotten better service anywhere else.

Nellie is awesome with both our girls! She is really patient with our shy one. Frankie loves giving her kisses. We really like the fact that she works with us just as much as the dogs, maybe works with us more than the dogs! 😀 We have already seen such an improvement with the girls after only three lessons. Looking forward to what she will teach us in our next lessons! Definitely recommend her straight forward and transparent way of training! More...

Dog Training

We rescued our 3 year old dog (Bowie) from a shelter back in February. We hired Nellie to help us train our dog with manners, basic commands, and helping us integrate our new dog into the lifestyle of living with our cat. Nellie helped us achieve and exceed every single thing we wanted to accomplish. Nellie was absolutely amazing with our boy and we started to see improvement so quickly. I really appreciated Nellie taking the time to teach myself and my girlfriend how to train our dog, she equips you with all the tools you need to help your dog succeed. Nellie was absolutely fantastic and we couldn't have gotten where we are without her help. More...

We were lucky to have Nellie as our dog trainer for our puppies.
She is very knowledgeable about training and nutrition and we recommended her to our neighbours and friends.

We had an amazing experience with Nellie and highly recommend her for any new puppy parents! From the moment we started, it was clear that she is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also truly passionate about puppies and their development. The training was structured, fun, and tailored to our puppy's needs. Our puppy learned commands that have made a huge difference in our daily lives. The trainer's patience and positive reinforcement techniques worked wonders, and we left each session feeling empowered and confident. Our puppy is now well-behaved, happy, and continues to thrive with the tools we learned. If you're looking for someone who can guide you through the challenges of puppy training with professionalism and care, Nellie is the best choice! More...

Thanks for such a glowing review! It has been a lot of fun working with you both, and especially Millie 🥰

Nellie was great with my chihuahua. He had a lot of anxiety, not unusual for his breed, but he also suffers from chronic pain so his trust issues and anxiety are a struggle. Nellie was patient and supportive and before you knew it, he was confident and playful and couldn't wait for training. She was great at focusing on meeting him where he was at vs. forcing him into what he wasn't ready for. We appreciated her patience and warmth with him and now he's a well-trained, confident little guy. We couldn't have gotten there on our own so thank you, Nellie, for your help and support. We are so grateful! More...

Working with Nellie is a breeze. She really knows how to help you get in tune with your dog. My Lilo loves when she goes to stay with her bestie Weazel. I would recommend Pawsitive Partners to any dog owner looking for someone to trust their fur baby with. More...

Our family adopted a puppy and we were looking for 1 on 1 training. After being referred to Nellie in Stittsville we booked our sessions. She has an affinity for dogs and taught us some key commands. We still use the commands daily and the tips she provided.
It was remarkable, how our 9 month old puppy went from pulling us in the leash to walking nicely instantly.
We appreciate Nellie’s enthusiasm and how she helped us with boarding when we were in a last minute situation.
Thank you Pawsitive Partner Nellie! We look forward to working with you again.

Nellie trained my puppy and was absolutely fantastic! She has a gift for explaining not only how to train different behaviors but also the why behind each method, which made the process so much more effective and rewarding. Her knowledge and expertise were evident in every session. Thanks to Nellie, both my puppy and I gained valuable skills and confidence. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive trainer! More...

Nellie is the best. She's not only a fantastic puppy trainer, but she's great for boarding and walking services. Her kind and friendly personality makes us really happy to leave our dog in her hands, and she always offers great tips, product recommendations, and general puppy advice. I would 100% recommend her to anyone. More...

Nellie has not only cared for but also trained our Border Collie since he was a puppy. Our Border Collie not only adores her, the entire family does too. She gave our child tips and tricks for dog behaviour and lessons which he and we appreciated so much. Her knowledge on dogs is amazing. I’ve had dogs my entire life and I’m always learning something new from her. She’s caring and effective with dogs, she calmly takes command and they listen. Definitely puts us at ease knowing our dog is loved and safe in her care. I highly recommend Nellie! More...

Nellie is amazing with pets! She took care of our golden retriever with so much love and attention, making sure he was happy, well-exercised, and content. You can really see her dedication and love for animals in the way she interacts with them. She's definitely a top pick for any pet owner.

Plus, Nellie's a fantastic dog trainer. She's been working with our golden retriever since he was a puppy, and his behavior and obedience have improved so much. Her training methods are super effective and kind, leading to a well-behaved and happy dog. I highly recommend Nellie for both pet sitting and training!

Q&As

Who wouldn't love working with puppies all day! They are so pleased with themselves when they learn something new. Doggo kisses also rank high on the list.

More flexibility for myself and my clients. More room to grow by expanding my knowledge with further training courses.

I really listen to the client and work on what's important to them and their dog(s) vs forcing a curriculum on them. I don't rush them through the work, so that both human and dog have the time to learn.

I provide my services where the client and dog need them. Whether that be in their home, outside in a park, in a store perhaps. It is all about helping the dog to get to the level that both the parent and dog are happy with.

I'm finding this is no longer an issue, however, if a client asked me to wear a mask, I would comply.

Services

One on one training provided in the environment where the dog will learn quickly in a high-rate of reinforcement strategy.

I also offer boarding services on Rover.com under the name Nellie B.
