Hello and Welcome!
My name is Nikki and I’m a certified professional dog trainer, behavior consultant, fur mom to three German Shepherd mixes, and the owner of Airdrie Puppy Pals. With over ten years of hands-on experience supporting families with training and behavior solutions, I’m here and happy to help.
If you’re taking a look at my website, chances are something you’re looking for some support. Maybe your dog barks, lunges, or struggles when they see other dogs? Maybe they panic when left alone or have a hard time coping with everyday situations. Whatever brought you here, I’m glad your here.
Working Together
Every dog and every family is different. Some people come to me knowing exactly what they need help with. Others just know something feels off and want guidance on what to do next. Wherever you are, we'll start there.
My focus is on understanding what's really going on with your dog. Not just what the behavior looks like, but why it's happening. From there, we'll figure out a plan that makes sense for your situation, your goals, and your daily life.
Sessions are available in person or online, and the approach is always tailored to your dog and what you're dealing with. Whether you need a full behaviour assessment, focused training support, or just some clear direction, we'll work out what's going to be most helpful for you.
Let’s Get Started
To get started, I offer a free discovery phone call. During this up to ten minute call, we’ll talk about your training and behavior goals and what kind of support might be most helpful. From there, we can decide together whether behavior consulting, private training, or another option is the right next step for you and your dog.
I offer private training and behavior assessments both in person and virtually.
