We’re thrilled to introduce Nikki, the heart behind our puppy training program! With a passion for animals and years of hands-on experience, Nikki brings love, structure, and expert care to every puppy she works with.
Nikki is a certified veterinary technician with over 7 years of experience, and she’s a true animal lover through and through. She shares her home with two dogs, a wonderful husband, and two young boys who all adore spending time with the puppies. Each pup lives in Nikki’s home and becomes part of her daily routine—getting tons of attention, socialization, and care.
When she’s not training puppies, Nikki runs a successful show goat program, enjoys riding horses, and loves spending time outdoors with her family. Whether she’s duck hunting, caring for animals, or wrangling toddlers, Nikki brings dedication and heart to everything she does.
We’re so lucky to have Nikki guiding our pups in their early weeks—and your puppy will be too!
Our Preschool Program is the perfect short-term training option for families who want to ease the transition of bringing home a new puppy—without diving into the full 4-week commitment. Over the course of 2 weeks, your puppy will begin crate training, potty training routines, and basic commands like “sit” and “come.” They’ll also be introduced to leash exposure and socialization with people, pets, and everyday household activities.
This program is ideal for those who don’t want to deal with sleepless nights or a crying puppy in the crate. We help your puppy adjust to sleeping in a crate, making your first nights together at home much smoother.
Please note: Potty training is a gradual process and typically isn’t fully reliable until around 18 weeks of age. Continued reinforcement at home is important
