“Nicole is the best of the best! She teaches above and beyond the basics and helps you actually understand your dog’s behavior (you are asking her to sit in a room full of spiders). She makes training easy to understand and answers any questions with patience. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“We absolutely loved working with Nicole at Coulee K9 Services. She is knowledgeable, patient, and supportive, and is always ready with alternative ways to approach any issue. Our Great Pyrenees, Maggie, graduated Puppy Class, and the things she (and we!!) learned make our lives together much easier and more fun. We are currently enrolled in the intermediate class, and we wouldn’t consider taking it with anyone else. Maggie is learning how to socialize with other dogs and behave properly in many different situations. Nicole’s compassionate, highly competent approach gives us confidence in our ability to work with Maggie…and Maggie loves her too!”

“The best trainer in town! She has such a calm and assertive demeanor that both people and dogs respond too. The training is set up for both you and your fur baby to be as successful as possible. Answered all questions and even gave tips and tricks to help individual needs for my puppy. I cannot recommend her enough!!! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Thank you so much for your expert advice and hands-on teaching yesterday. You have made such a difference in Sammy’s and my life, from the earliest times helping to just get him to trust getting in the truck to come to class to walking comfortably along the city streets.”

“Winnie, Marcus, and I learned so much from your beginner class that we took at PetSmart over the summer. Thank you for helping us better understand our nervous girl and helping her navigate her world. We look forward to taking your next class soon! Thanks again, Nicole!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Nicole. From the very first session, she connected with our dog, Bentley, and tailored her training methods to his specific needs and personality. Bentley had a few behavioral challenges, but Nicole used positive reinforcement techniques that helped him learn quickly and happily. She also took the time to teach us techniques for reinforcing his training at home, so we feel more confident as pet parents. Bentley is now better behaved and more responsive, and we owe it all to Nicole’s patience and expertise. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for effective and compassionate dog training!”

“We met Nicole when Marshall, our Golden, was 10 weeks old and we enrolled him in PetSmart puppy class. He loved going to classes each week, so much so that everytime we go to PetSmart now, he still goes back to the class area looking for her. She taught us so many great things, and is great at what she does, highly recommend her! We actually just booked some one on one training time with again for some more in-depth training now that our dog is older.”

“I took my dachshund, Scooby, to Nicole’s puppy and intermediate classes at PetSmart. They were worth it! She had a good variety of discussion topics and commands to teach your dog. If you were struggling she was quick to correct errors or give encouragement when you needed help. If I were to get a second dog or seek out more training I would want to work with Nicole again.”

“I strongly recommend Nicole’s beginner obedience class at PetSmart for anyone looking to build a good training foundation with their pet. As new dog owners, we learned so much and Remi really enjoyed the class as well! Remi improved greatly over the 6 weeks and we are excited to take the intermediate class as well!”

“Belle’s (1-year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi) a far more disciplined and attentive little girl after we took our 6-week course with Nicole at PetSmart!
She was a great mentor to us and I can’t be more happy with how Belle turned out after these lessons! She had insightful tips and recommendations on how to correct some of Belle’s behavior outside of the training and I can’t be more grateful for it!”
— Touyer
“Nicole is a wonderfully talented trainer with an amazing attitude and true rapport with the dogs she trains. We did our training through PetSmart and were exceptionally lucky to have ended up in Nicole’s class. Every step of the way was easily laid out, well-explained, and made fun.
Our experience with Nicole was simply amazing and most certainly exceeded our expectations!”
