Strictly K9 Dog Training

Strictly K9 Dog Training Dog Training Coach - 1-2-1s & Groups Hello there. I’m Melissa Nicholson & I run Strictly K9 Dog Training. Plus, I'm always there if they've got a question.

As a local - born & bred - pet companion dog trainer from a family of dog trainers running classes and offering 1-2-1s from a dedicated outdoor training area at Hadley Park, Whitchurch & indoors at Whitchurch Civic Centre Sports Hall. As an experienced, qualified & insured trainer I’m passionate about helping owners, dog guardians & dogs become the ‘dream team’ they choose to be, building confiden

ce & a great bond together through enjoyable reward based training. Training is personally tailored & taken at the right pace. You’ll find support, smiles & an approachable attitude to training. I’m an enthusiastic trainer who also loves to help you understand your dog’s emotions, choices & behaviour. Many dream team’s have been training with me for years & it’s a fabulous way to spend time together. Right now in 2022, there are amazing, small groups meeting up for practical training. They also benefit from online videos & resources to help inspire & support them at home. Strictly K9 Dog Training is Kennel Club Listed to run the Good Citizen Dog Scheme. Every year hundreds of dogs and owners are able to join in at a level to suit them & progress. Puppies, adolescents, adult & senior dogs are all welcomed. I also offer 1-2-1 training which is a fabulous way to enjoy personalised training with less distractions. Looking for something different ? you can even get involved in training inspired by Canine Hoopers, Heelwork To Music or simply having fun wih your dog finding what they enjoy from retrieving, to tricks or sniffy games. Due to the pandemic following an initial chat you might be invited to join me online or outdoors in person; based on latest guidelines & Covid-19 safe working practices. Paws & Wags,
Melissa

- Sue & Diesel (Gold)
- Eileen & Hugo (Gold)

Thank you Eileen for sharing this lovely review aswell;

‘Hugo is the first Dobermann I’ve not had from a puppy in many many years. He is 4 years old.
I adopted him from Dogs trust just over 2 years ago, it was obvious from day 1 that he had been well cared for and well loved. And he soon became an easy boy to live with and love.
He was easy to walk and was well socialised, which was a massive bonus.
But my initial thoughts led me to believe that he wasn’t very bright as far as learning was concerned,
But as with all my dogs we started slowly with some fun training and patience
and having trained with Melissa for many years I took him to her classes.
It only took a few weeks to realise my initial findings were totally wrong.
All he needed was to have the potential he had for learning unlocked.
He never looked back we have so much fun learning new things all the time both with Melissa and at home.

Training an older Dobe has been a whole new learning curve for me too. which is why I am so proud of this young man, but as with all my dogs learning and training is always a work in progress.
Thank you Melissa for all your help.’
