Hi, I'm Nikki West and I'm a positive dog trainer who pays special attention to each dog's overall wellbeing. It's not just about developing better behaviors and getting rid of "bad" behaviors; it's about understanding your dog's behavior in the context of their life and their emotional experience. It's about making sure we train your dog in a way that meets their needs and creates positive changes for them.

My style of training is informed by science and grounded in ethical considerations, and most importantly, it centers the relationship between us and our beloved dogs.

I believe that everyone deserves access to quality dog training and it's important to me to be part of the solution to shelter overpopulation in our communities. I keep my prices low and I offer a sliding scale on all private lesson programs in the hopes that anyone can access the dog training help they need to keep their beloved dog.
