“Saturday mornings became such a treat when Ottie and I got to spend it with Nicky at her Puppy School. I’d recommend it for anyone with a new puppy. Nicky obviously knows how dogs ‘think’ and seems to be a dog whisperer for all breeds and energy levels. Her instructions are clear and really helped me improve how I communicated with and get the best from my puppy. There was the perfect mix between demonstration, participation and learning from others. She managed to get a full room of puppies calm so they all felt comfortable enough to learn and socialise”
