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.

Private Dog Training in Airdrie

One on one sessions for puppies and adult dogs, in your home, virtually, or at our Airdrie Puppy Pals facility in Kings Heights.

Whether you're working on everyday manners like loose leash walking and coming when called, or navigating something harder like fear, reactivity, or aggression, sessions are built around your dog and your goals.

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 you're welcoming home a new puppy, working on everyday manners, or navigating something harder.

New Puppy

Help getting started with potty training, puppy biting, socialization, routines, early manners, and all those new puppy questions that come up along the way.

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.
