Dog Training in Baltimore
Dog Training in Baltimore
Hi, I’m Nikki and I work with dogs in Baltimore & worldwide. My approach to dog training is ethical, force-free, and focused on improving each dog’s wellbeing. I’m also passionate about supporting each dog’s human family as we move through the training process.
Dog behavior issues I can help with
Dog behavior issues I can help with
I love to help folks modify their dog’s behavior in one way or another! Some of the most common “issues” are:
Reactivity and/or leash issues (pulling, lunging, barking, etc)
Multi-dog households & the various issues that arise in that context
Crate training and/or separation anxiety / separation distress
Teaching manners like polite greetings, house manners, etc.
New dog - bonding, learning to communicate, general training
Stranger danger and/or other fear & nervousness
Anxiety in all of its forms and manifestations
Recall and long-line work (coming when called)
Switching from balanced training to positive training (getting away from aversive tools like prong collars, e-collars, and correction-based methods)
I offer two training formats:

Private lessons
Private lessons
I come to your home and we work together to train your dog. I teach you how to practice their new skills, and you are responsible for practicing between lessons. That between-lesson practice is how your dog makes progress!
Day Training
Day Training
I do the tedious work for you! Instead of assigning homework, I work with your dog myself 4x/week for either 2 or 4 weeks. Then, we do lessons together to teach you how to implement everything your dog has learned.
