I work with nickola very regularly, I'm her mum!! That said and totally impartial she is a fabulous trainer. I have watched her study hard to develop her knowledge and skills so that she has a solid background of information when helping clients and their dogs. Very proud of her.

Nickola has helped so much with my nervous collie cross. From his sound sensitivity to his fear of other dogs, he is now much more confident and Nickola has given me the skills to continue with the work, always available to offer further advice.

I have seen Nickola work with many dogs and she is an excellent trainer. I've been on numerous dogs walks with her and customers' dogs, and I am amazed at how comfortable she makes them feel whilst out as a group with dogs that they may not have met before. I have recommended Nickola to a number of my friend's for dog training/walking and they all have given positive feedback. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nickola in the future. Her priority is always your dog's health and best interests. More...

Advice and knowledge around behavioural issues in dogs is no easy task. It takes years of training and building experience.
Nicolas has achieved this!
Given all the positive reviews its clear that Nickola is highly accomplished in her techniques and results.
Professionals also endorse her advice by having her book for all to read in my local veterinary practice waiting room.
I have seen her work with dogs and would personally recommend her advice with any issues with dogs and pups. More...

First met Nickola over 6 years ago when my Jack Russell Cross was driving me mad, Nickola soon realized that the main problem was me! !! She taught me how to behave around my dog!!! But Nickola has become more than just a trainer, she has become and remained a friend. Realizing that my dog needed lots of socializing and far more exercise than I could give him, Nickola took him under her wing, for 6 years she has walked and looked after my dog, unfortunately, last year, my dog was taken seriously ill and had to spend a lot of time in hospital, Nickola was with me every time we went, she was as devastated as me, my dog can no longer run around for long periods of time, but we visit Nickola each week and I think the bond between her and my dog will last an eternity. As a dog trainer, she is superb but as a friend in times of doggy need - she will always go the extra mile. More...

We were at the end of our tether with our lovely dog Alfie in regard to his aggressive possessive behaviour. Husband bitten lots if times when trying to get back stolen items from Alfie. Nickola recommended to us. She visited our home and after taking a detailed report of all aspects of alfies life, within minutes of dealing with the issue and demonstrating how we should handle it Alfie was like a different dog. As is quite often the case it is the owner that needs the training rather than the dog. Nickola was brilliant. We cannot praise her highly enough. Alfie is happier, more relaxed, chilled out, consequently so are we. Thank you so very much Nickola😃 More...

In the summer, we re-homed our second dog. We started looking for a dog trainer after he started snapping at our other dog. After calling around to a few dog trainers, getting prices and hearing what they have to offer, we chose Nickola. She was very reasonably priced for the service offered, but that wasn't why I chose her. After a chat on the phone, it was very obvious that her first priority was my dog's health. She could easily have taken our money and booked the training session, but she recommended a vet check first. Her care for my dogs was apparent then, but was made obvious when she came to our house for the training session. She went through a thorough history with us, advised what behaviours we should adjust, and showed us how to teach our dogs the behaviours we wanted them to have. It's been about a week and a half since that session, and we can already see dramatic improvement with our dogs! Could not be happier!

I--without a doubt--recommend her services. I only wish I found her sooner! More...

We’d really been struggling with our 11 week old puppy, as we’d never had a puppy before! We didn’t know if we were doing something wrong and had a slight panic that our lovely little puppy was actually just aggressive! Thankfully, we found Nickola and after just 1 session we already feel 1000x better! We’ve had a calm, relaxed puppy and in turn her humans feel relaxed too! Would recommend Nickola to anyone and everyone! Thanks again for your help! More...

Nickola was very laid back and pleasant to work with. I didn't believe anything would work with my socks at all and I thought he was beyond help. Nickola went through everything in great detail and had great communication and easy to understand training plan.

Socks is a totally different dog. I can't believe the difference in him!! We are so very happy and impressed with how socks behaves now and its only been 4 weeks. We can now walk down the street with out him going to attack strangers and men.

Excellent service!! More...
