Training
Nicole is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), Fear Free Certified Professional Dog Trainer, APDT member, IAABC Member, and American Kennel Club CGC-evaluator, fit dog instructor, and trick evaluator. Training services are available at the client’s home. Full bio is available here.
Services include 1-hour sessions for puppy training, obedience training, trick training, and production training. Training sessions are best done in the home where the pet resides so Nicole can take into account the home environment so the training can be most beneficial for you and your pet. After our first visit, Nicole will recommend a training plan of homework to meet your dog’s behavior goals, and share options for achieving success, the first session lasts approximately 60-90 mins.

In home boarding pet care
For families that need dog boarding while traveling, in-home pet care is available with Nicole at a limit of one family’s pet(s) at a time; existing and past clients are given priority. At this time we are only taking small to medium dogs for board and train.
Only one family’s pet(s) are taken at a time to provide a one-on-one loving home experience with Nicole and her family. Nicole resides in Altadena, CA, just north of Pasadena, CA where the pet(s) will have full access to the house, with plenty of room to run supervised in the fully fenced yard and many outdoor activities nearby from walking and sniffing the local area and hiking our local quiet trails. We do not run a kennel – this is out of our home – and take breaks between dogs to ensure our own dogs get some one-on-one time.
Dog(s) are never taken to a dog park or interact with pets Nicole is not familiar with for the safety of your dog.
Boarding pricing
- Board and train starts at: $350/night
- Boarding without training starts at: $200/night. Currently limited to dogs under 20lbs or existing clients. All dogs must be crate trained (or in board and train) and friendly to all dogs.
*An additional charge may apply for puppies and specific cases.
Per the one family at a time limit holidays do book up and it’s best to book in advance. Priority is given to existing and past clients.
