About me, and About Your Dog

Jade Nicholas

Clinical Animal Behaviourist, MSc, BA (Hons)

I get it, you love your dog, but you don't always like them.

​

Through almost a decade working with dogs, I have helped hundreds of caregivers to rebuild their relationship with their dog, and to do away with those pesky behaviour problems.

​

As a dog trainer and behaviourist, my goal is not to make you feel small, or to overwhelm you. Instead, I want you to feel empowered, and to fall in love with your dog all over again.
