Pups at Work by Nicole Flowers

I found Nicole while I was in the Apple Store with a bad dog. I’m a trainer in Santa Barbara and I was socializing a client dog Rex. A girl in there wanted to pet Rex and I warned her she could get bit but she was fearless. And she didn’t handle Rex the way most people do it especially a dog that is afraid. She did it the way I would do it! I asked her where she learned To handle a scared dog and she said she had this trainer come to her house and help her with her own dog. Wow, a trainer that trains the dog owner. I decided I had to meet Nicole. We have been good friends ever since and frequently work together to solve challenging cases or when one of us just needs a victim for a bad dog. Highly recommended.

I reached out to Nicole to train my shihtzuh for separation anxiety and aggressiveness towards people when I walk him. We quickly realized that he was ok with separation so long as I leave him something to keep him busy all day, so Nicole then decide to focus on his aggression. She has completely turned him around! I can actually walk him and have him heal! Thank you so much for making doggie walks easier!

Nicole is very friendly and easy to work with. I had a somewhat difficult Chihuahua and she was able to help me understand how to communicate with my dog for him to do what I want him to do. She is very knowledgeable about what she does! Overall– success with training my dog!

Best animal trainer ever!
