About

The Cultured Companion Dog Training utilizes positive reinforcement methodology to build systems of communication between dog and parent/family, strengthening the bond so that all parties' needs are met. We focus on basic obedience and behavior modification training specialize in training dogs who are rescues, shy, anxious, boisterous, aloof, or misunderstood, as well as mulit-dog households.

I love helping people and their dogs lead happier, healthier, more fulfilling lives together!

    Nici is extremely knowledgeable on how to train dogs. Nici is great with the owner training as well! I was lucky to find her for my Shorkie named Lucy. Lucy is well behaved, wonderful companion and a really good dog. I recommend you work with Nici if you want a well behaved pet. She’s terrific

    I shadowed experienced trainers and studied with a large positive reinforecement dog training company. I started assisting classes and grew from there.

    All kinds.  Young, old, families, couples, singles, disabled, and developmentally impaired. 

    There are many styles of dog training - not all are created equal! Find someone who aligns with your morals.  If strengthening your bond with your dog and creating obedience through love and mutual understanding so that the needs of both pet and parent (or family) are equally met is a top priority - seek a positive reinforcemnt trainer.  (R+ for short.)

    What is my lifestyle?
    What are my training concerns?
    How would I like my dog's behavior to look ultimately? (aka What are my training goals?)
    How much time do I have to commit to training?

    What is my dog's background?

    Is my dog dog friendly?  People friendly? Does my dog have seperation anxiety or special needs?
