"Nikky has helped me with training my puppy, but so much more than that, she goes way above and beyond to help, including email communication when I’m stuck and summarising visits so I have it refer back to. She’s helped me to understand my pup on an emotional level, so we’ve been able to build that trusting connection and training has been a pleasure, although not perfect (me, not pup!) but I know we’re on the right path for his health, welfare and wellbeing, thanks to Nikky. She is definitely gifted in understanding dogs, my pup absolutely adored her! It’s like they know she is someone special. Nikky is so kind, compassionate, patient and understanding. I wish more people sought, or had access to the kind of education Nikky can provide about what your dog truly needs, there is so much outdated misinformation that is ultimately harming dogs. Nikky provides the perfect mix of evidenced based training techniques with genuine love for dogs, that passion shows and no doubt I will use her services again along our training journey (pup may find an excuse just to see her again." 

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the work you've done with Tecwyn. I had a long, stress-free walk today where Tecwyn walked without pulling on his lead! We even ended the walk at the pub, and he was incredibly well-behaved. I know he will have both good and bad days, but I feel much more confident with my recalls now."
 

"Honestly can’t recommend Nikki enough. Amazing at what she does and she is extremely knowledgeable. A lot of dog trainers out there use outdated training methods. Nikki’s style of training is full of patience, compassion, understanding and above all a true love for helping dogs. Nikki has helped us to understand the needs and boundaries of our nervous dog in a way that we now feel confident that we can put her best interests first in every situation we face. Thank you Nikki for all your support, guidance and knowledge that you have passed onto us I will always recommend you to anyone needing help/advice for their dogs xx"

"Nikky has been nothing but amazing with our reactive springer spaniel. We are now able to walk him with confidence (and sausages)  Ziggy is calmer and so are we. Thanks Nikky, you are a star - no matter what I ask you always go out of your way to help, including his first visit to the dog groomers. So happy we found you" 

"Nikky is an all round lovely person who has been a god send, she has helped us so much with our nervous and excitable Spaniel. She really thought about our issues and how to resolve them. All of her methods are gentle and positive and without the expectation that we can completely change our lifestyle. Nikky, we have learned so much from the sessions with you and can’t thank you enough for your help with Hovis, she’s a much happier dog."

"I recommend this lady whole heartedly, so easy to talk with, puts you at ease, more than anything, you will see a difference in your dog."

"Nicky responded quickly to a private message, responding to the problem and asking for more information. A visit was organised, kept to and on time. Focused straight onto our 3 dogs and got on with it. Nicky very professional but connected and felt comfortable with her straight away. Showed the training that we need to do and dog responded very well immediately. Training has continued to go well with all 3 dogs cottoning on and behaving better with less barking, less reactivity, better recall plus a belly full of sausage."

"Nikky, I cannot thank you enough, Archie, Blue & I have benefited so much from your guidance & advice. We will miss you, wish I could keep you. I highly recommend Nikky for any of your doggy needs, she is extremely knowledgeable, approachable & kind. Thank you again Nikky for everything."

"We have been working with Nikky for a few months now as we have an anxious dog, she has provided us with some invaluable training (mostly training us) so that we can help our boy be less anxious and giving us the tools to help him. We have had a few breakthroughs and I would recommend Nikky wholeheartedly. Lots of work to do but we have definitely seen a difference"

"We have seen positive changes in our dog, if anything it's the humans that need training too, it's more of a understanding of boundaries and behaviour which now makes our daily lives more manageable."

"If like me you’ve had lots of trainers/behaviourists and felt you’ve got no where then I urge you to give Nikki a go! I’ve spent £££s with trying to find a reputable trainer, a bit like hair dressers always picking holes in another one’s cut! It got to the point my head was spinning and my purse was empty but worse than that my poor dog was totally confused, one trainer said this the other said that etc.. Nikki’s approach is so much more relaxed, we hit it off straight away, she makes you feel at ease and she realises you do your best. She is the only one that’s made a fuss of our dog, touched him even. She connects with the dog immediately and that really is something. Nikki is full of knowledge of dogs and their behaviours, and works on the emotional side especially with reactivity to most things like our dog."


"Diolch o galon, thank you so much for your time, patience and expert knowledge! We asked Affinity Dog Training to come help us work with our spaniel on encouraging loose-lead walking, and we’re making such progress! Our lovely dog is so much more engaged with us when out and about, which is a game-changer for her and us."


"We had our first meeting with Nikky yesterday and was instantly impressed with her knowledge and the way she was with our dogs. We came away from our session with a deeper understanding of our dogs needs and some simple tools to help him progress in a positive way. Afterwards we both commented on how much more positive we were feeling regarding our dogs issues and the ability to ultimately resolve them. Would highly recommend seeing Nikky if you’ve got any concerns with your dog."


"Nikki came to meet my JR x, we needed some advice om how to reduce some anxious behaviors and make sure he was as content as he could me. the advice she gave me about recall, mentally stimulating play, diet and rewarding positive behaviours was brilliant. I've done so much googling but nothing compared to getting Nikkis advice. I've already started to implement the advice she gave me and I am seeing a difference. would definitely recommend"
