Dream Dogs Training

Nikki at Dream Dogs has been absolutely invaluable for me and my partner. While we both have experience with dogs, Nikki’s insight into our puppy’s unique temperament made all the difference. She immediately understood his specific needs, even though his breed is not widely known, and provided clear, effective guidance on every challenge we faced. Each time we shared an issue, Nikki had a practical solution that worked wonders, helping our pup become more confident and well-behaved. Her skill, patience, and genuine care have been such a gift to us. Our puppy’s last day at Puppy Playcare was bittersweet, as he had been going every week since he was just two weeks with us! It was so wonderful to share that experience with someone who truly cared. Nikki and her team gave him a safe, happy e

Nikki and Dream Dogs Training is such a valuable resource for dogs and owners in the Grand Rapids, MI area. She has a really warm personality along with the credentials, education, and experience for both the dogs and people to learn very quickly and effectively. The Drop-Off Puppy Primer Day Training is also a specialty service that not many places can offer!

Nikki is wonderful with my English Lab. We’ve used her puppy primer training which gave us an excellent base and we continue her practices at home to support the lessons learned. Also use her puppy play care program. She makes it convenient for us with full working schedules. Tundra comes home tired and content. We love her, highly recommend!

Simply the best! Our dog attended puppy playcare and training here and now Dream Dogs is the only place we board her 2 years later. Nikki and her team are dedicated to making sure pups grow up to the best of their abilities while ensuring their owners have the right tools to make that possible. They also provide a fun and caring small group, that is a stimulating (but not overstimulating!) environment for playcare and boarding. Highly recommended!

We are very glad we discovered Nikki with Dream Dogs Training through our vet's office. She has done so well teaching our puppy and has helped him progress so much in his training. We have used the puppy primer drop off training, the puppy momentum class, and had a couple of in-home training sessions. Both puppy primer and puppy momentum took place at the vet's office, which was helped our puppy become comfortable going to the vet's. The puppy primer class was great; it helped with the basics (via 1:1 instruction), gave opportunity for safe socialization, and allowed us respite at home. The puppy momentum class provided informative step-by-step guides and videos. The class setting (with other puppies and people present during instruction) was useful to work on training with distractions -
