How do I get started with private dog training?

You can book a single session online at https://www.airdriepuppypals.com/calendar. Nikki also offers Training Discovery Calls to help you find the right fit for your dog and your goals.

Where do private training sessions take place?

Sessions are available virtually, in person at our training facility in Airdrie, Alberta, or in-home throughout Airdrie and Calgary.

What kinds of behaviour does private training support?

Nikki supports everything from everyday manners, puppy foundations, and loose-leash walking to complex behaviour concerns including leash reactivity, fear and anxiety, resource guarding, aggression, and handling sensitivities.

Should I choose private training or group classes?

Group classes work well for social dogs who can focus around other dogs and people. Private training is a better fit if your dog is reactive, fearful, or working through aggression, or if you prefer one-on-one support tailored to your specific goals.

Who provides the private training?

All private training and behaviour support is led by Nikki Nordick, Certified Dog Behaviour Consultant (CDBC) and Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), with more than a decade of experience helping dogs and their families.

What We Can Work On Together

Every dog and every goal looks different, so sessions are built around what you and your dog need most, whether that's everyday manners or working through something harder.

Everyday Manners

Loose leash walking, coming when called, polite greetings, settling on cue, and other real life skills that make daily life easier.

Behavior Support

Support for fear, anxiety, reactivity, aggression, separation distress, resource guarding, excessive barking, lunging, or growling.

How Sessions Work

Every session is one on one and paced around your dog, whether you'd rather meet at home, at our facility, or virtually.

In Your Home

Sessions come to you, so your dog can practice in the environment where it matters most.

Travel fees apply.

At Our Facility

Train at Airdrie Puppy Pals in Kings Heights, with space and tools built for training.
