Trainer

Nikki (CPDT-KA) is a certified dog trainer committed to building great partnerships between people and their dogs. Her focus is on strengthening trust, motivation, and communication on both ends of the leash-- with the goal of resilient, adaptable dogs who are excited to work with their humans, and humans who feel confident and capable in guiding them.

Her training journey began with her own reactive rescue, her cattle dog Lincoln, in 2015. Since then she's worked extensively with shelter dogs with behavioural challenges, honed her practice supporting reactive dogs and their people, and helped hundreds of puppies develop solid foundations through early training and socialization.

Nikki covers Lower Manhattan through the Upper West side and Upper East side, plus Hoboken and Jersey City, NJ.
