Hi, I'm Nikki & this is my furry soulmate, Mija.

From a young age, I was told I should work with dogs, but I wasn’t sure which path to take; so I explored them all. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve dedicated my life to understanding and improving the lives of dogs and their humans.

I seriously love how a dog with a stick received this much love. 10/10 on the stick scavenger hunt.

What's that little thing taped to the wall behind Duckie's head? It's the thing she's been searching for but can't find. 😂

She reminds me that sometimes no matter how many days in a row we might train for something it doesn't mean perfection is guaranteed. 🫶🩷🐶

Day 1 of Barks & Blooms @ JB Family Growers was amazing. I loved having the opportunity to meet so many dogs and compassionate people.

I can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!!! Come say hi and pick a bouquet along the way.

Soccer is not just for us 2 leggers. I've used it over the years to help many families live a calmer life with their dogs.

Burning off energy while playing with your dog is so much fun! You can find a size appreciate ball for your dog online & watch your relationship build.

Leash aggression is something that can and does effect dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. Some people don't identify it in smaller dogs because they think it's something that only effects large breeds. Let's fix it together.

We had a great time seeing your dogs grow! Thank you @PicklesPlayland in Issaquah and to all of the students for allowing us to do what we love; help people and dogs.

We can't wait for hosting another class.

99% of dogs who I've worked w/ walk so well on a nose loop their parents can walk them with 1 finger!

Service dog pups wear nose loops during training. You can see the cuties training in Redmond from time to time thanks to Summit Assistance Dogs!

Let's get your dog great on leash w/ a nose loop.

Having a well-behaved dog isn’t just a flex, it’s a lifestyle. My rescue dogs didn’t start “bomb-proof,” but we put in the work. Now they’re confident, calm, and ready for any adventure. Their lives are better for it and so is mine. Let’s get your dog there too. 🐾

Socialization isn’t just meeting new dogs or people. It means desensitizing your dog to sounds, places, and situations—a step 90% of my clients skip. It takes patience, calm, no treats, and time. Guess who needs that most: the dog or the human? 😉 #DogTraining #Socialization

The Bellevue Adventure is a class of up to 5 dogs. We focus on leash manners, socialization, walking up & down stairs calmly, impulse control, and how to behave in public.

I'll see you cool kids at 7pm tonight!

My life is busy, but that means I don't have time for training sessions w/ my dogs.

After dinner my dogs get table scraps *gasp* I know, I'm not your normal dog trainer.

Don't: Feed them at the table, whine, grab, paw, jump up, bark or rushing in

Do: Calm approach, waiting your turn, eye contact

Don't forget to register as one of the cool kids. 😂🐶🐵

Look at those happy faces! We made training unaggressively non-negotiable but also spent half of the time playing.

Kit and Willow worked on a rotation of play and stay. They did great and it was wonderful to see them playing so well.

Thank you for letting me help you!

Training as a group allows us to have a community of support. I love watching people and pups make friends!

I always keep class sizes small because getting to know you and your dog means I can help with actionable advice. We want you to be successful!

Thank you 😊

It's never too early to start training a puppy! Loam's dad is incredible & began training while researching & building a network of support for them both. To work with them is not just fun and rewarding but also an honor. Thank you for allowing me to play a part in your lifelong journey together. 🫶🐾
