Testimonials

Nicole has a calming presence about her that puts both people and dogs at ease. She connected instantly with Lucy. She took wonderful care of her while I was out of town for a few days. I highly recommend her!

The most important thing I was told by dog owners about training for my new puppy was this: “The training is just as much for you as it is the puppy”. Nicole epitomizes that ethos. The lessons are geared towards your puppy, of course, but they are mainly lessons for us to implement to give our dogs the best chance to succeed.

I feel as if my dog wouldn’t be where she is today without the lessons given to me by Nicole and Adventure Dog Academy.

Nicole exhibits fantastic patience and knowledge ! My spicy female Female German Shepherd was quite a handful and has made amazing progress from Nicole’s direction. Her training is practical and logical. A pleasure to work with!

Nicole is a wonderful caretaker for our doggos. She is communicative and has an abundance of knowledge. Nicole sends updates and sweet photos while pet sitting and I can tell she cares a lot about her work. I’m so grateful for her Nicole taking such good care of our dogs.

My sister found Nicole while looking for a sitter for her difficult dog for an evening. I met her then and was able to use her as well when I was going to be out of town for a couple of weeks. She stayed at my home and took care of my dog who is a major pain in the rear. Very dog aggressive. I left home and really never had a worry in the world. Came home to a dog who had obviously been well cared for.
Thank you Nicole!

Nicole was great with my two little dogs! She made sure they got the same amount of exercise that I would give them if I were home. She sent daily photos and walk details to let me know how much they were getting out & exercising. Once home, I could tell she worked her dog training magic with them on walks and in my yard where one of my dog fence fights. My male dog didn't listen to me before when I would try to call him away from the fence and now he actually responds to me and comes. She also noticed my female has body sensitivity with her harness and noticed my male dog gets cold and made sure to put him in a sweater on walks when it was colder. She's really in tune with what is going on with the dogs and I felt great about having her stay with my dogs while I was gone. It's nice not to worry when you're on vacation and know your dogs are in the hands of someone who notices behaviors and makes the dogs feel safe & comfortable.

“My husband and I had an international trip planned and were looking for a dog sitter to watch our 4 year old collie mix and our newly adopted 2 year cattle dog mix. We hoped to find someone that would keep our pups happy, engaged and provided the most non-stressful environment as possible, especially for our new adoptee. As soon as we met Nicole, we knew she was the one! Dog behavior and training seems to come as second nature to her - while chatting with us during our meet and greet, she worked with them on their bad jumping habits and even reward them for "making good decisions" when they wanted to jump but didn't :) . Nicole was so wonderful when our return flight was cancelled and we were delayed by one night.

Communication came easy - Nicole was extremely responsive, gave us daily updates with pictures and walk routes. I cannot recommend her enough and would ABSOLUTELY love to have her care for our babies again!”

“I can't recommend Nicole enough! I have 2 dogs who both grew up in the country, when they were each 6 I moved to the city and they were having trouble coping with all the noises, the leashes, and activity. They were always barking at everyone and everything when I walked them, even on occasion snapping at people as we walked by. I found Nicole who was just great with them! Even helped me better train them. She would take them for walks, send me pics/videos to give me little updates and has even watched them several times when I am traveling for work. The dogs always come home happy and healthy.
Now they are some of the best behaved dogs in the neighborhood. Every time they see Nicole they just run up to her and give her all the kisses she can take.
Nicole is amazing with animals, and simply a good human who I trust with my dogs any day”

“I never have to worry when my dog goes to stay with Nicole! From her whining in the car when we arrive and being exhausted when she comes home I know that she has a great time. Nicole sends plenty of cute pictures of Glory playing with her dogs and cuddling proving she’s probably having a better vacation than me! I’m so glad to have found Nicole and Christian and will continue to use their services in the future!”

Haley G. | Warwick, NY

“Nicole is a great friend, and former colleague at The Seeing Eye guide dog school. I am a veterinarian and, as well as seeing how well Nicole cared for the dogs she was training to be guide dogs, I also know how happy and healthy her own dogs are. In addition, Nicole looked after my two dogs for me on several occasions when I went away, and it was so good to have absolute peace of mind that they were as content and comfortable as they could be in my absence. She would send me updates and photos of the fun they were having, which were always very much appreciated. I also had one-to-one training lessons with Nicole when I got a new puppy which were absolutely invaluable in giving us the best grounding possible. She is friendly and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Nicole for any dog care needs anyone has!”
