We have an 8 month old bull terrier puppy who has a great temperament but needed to develop her…read moremanners and had a couple of behaviors that we couldn't get on top of. We started with a manners class that was taught by Jess. Jess is able to bring the best of the dog training knowledge base into her practice, and then she helps owners apply it to the unique temperament of their dog. While it was an 8 person/dog class, we walked out with particular ways to work with our puppy that got us the results we wanted. She did this with each person/dog in the class. As a result of that very positive experience we contacted Jess to work with us on some specific problem behaviors. One had to do with walking on a leash. Our puppy would walk for a bit and then go totally nuts jumping at whomever was the walker, grabbing and biting the leash, and generally being totally out of control. Jess, with her dog focused observational skills, was able to diagnose what the trigger was, helped us establish ways to shift away from that, and set us up to be successful. It worked. We stuck with what she said and walks are now totally pleasant. Jess listens, sends extensive feedback and follow-up, and does NOT have a cookie cutter approach. I highly recommend her.

Cindy came to my apartment and really helped me to find ways to make my dog comfortable. Not only does she train the dog but she helps you understand how to read your dog in different situations.

Cindy goes above and beyond her training sessions by sending informational papers to read about training, letting you take videos of the sessions, and allowing you to call or text her with any questions you have. Overall, my dog has improved a lot and the experience with Cindy was fantastic!

The staff is incredible. Colby and Racheal are our two primary walkers. They care for my guy, Burrito, like they care for their own dogs, who accompany them on all adventures. They also offer overnight care - we did this in late September for a weekend and were so thrilled with how it went! Totally reasonable in price, easy payments (they take Venmo!), and exceptional care. I trust them entirely and Burrito ADORES them!

I cannot express how grateful I am to have found Nikki's Kinetic K9 Training. I was having a really…read morehard time with my puppy who was starting to show some reactive tendencies, especially around other dogs. I reached out to Nikki's K9 training in a moment of desperation and could not be more glad that I did! Nikki totally renewed my love for my dog and has set my dog up for success at home and in stressful environments. After the first session with Nikki, I had a whole new dog! My puppy was calmer, able walk politely on a leash, knew how to look for leadership, and follow training directions overall. I worked with 3 other trainers (private and group sessions) and a dog socialization program without any progress before I met Nikki. Nikki's program and approach is the only thing that has made a difference in my dog's behavior. On top of the training, Nikki has a wealth of knowledge in canine health and nutrition. She helped design a feeding plan for my puppy that was customized to his breed and size. Nikki has been able to answer every question I've had related to dog ownership with expertise and compassion. Most of all, I appreciate how Nikki really understands my dogs needs. She does not try to train away what makes my puppy special. Instead, she customizes her approach to align the the dog's overall motivation which makes for a much happier puppy! 1,000,000/10

She still doesn't like other dogs or new people, but she's much less reactive now than she was before training with Nikki. If you have a dog that needs a lot of help, or a dog that just needs some fine tuning, then Nikki is your answer. Thanks Nikki, and thanks Koda!

They have offered to reimburse me for medical expenses. The comment below from the new owners is accurate, and it was a relief to hear the changes they are making when they called me. It's been an about a month, I've thought long and hard about this post. On Monday, June 17th I dropped my dog off at daycare. A place he has been going (and loved) for years. At 1pm I got a call from the employee there, saying that my dog was attacked, and that I needed to get him immediately, and bring him to the vet. They thought he had 1 wound.. he had 3 (3 bad ones, but I keep finding scabs from others). He ended up with 10 staples, an oral antibiotic, and injection antibiotics for 21 days. This happened on a Monday, by Thursday I knew something was very wrong and took him back to my Amazing Vet. The wound that they didn't staple (they try not to close dog bites because their mouths are gross) was infected beyond what the oral antibiotics could handle, and had become much worse. They were considering surgery to remove the infection and close the wound... Thankfully they tried another route first, and the injection antibiotics did the trick. He is still wearing a shirt to protect the wounds, he is still on anti inflammation medication, he is still recovering. Playtime Pet Resort (formerly Play All Day) in Exeter, does not have a bite policy. And, because my baby tried to run away from the dogs attacking him, they do not have clear video footage of the attack. They say they can't identify the dogs that attacked him (the vet confirmed it was more than 1). They attempted to placate me by saying "it happened right at the feet of the employee"... unfortunately, the other DOGS (plural), were not expelled. Those dogs that attacked mine are still there and there is nothing I can do about it. Please be aware. My boy loved it there for the last 4 years (split between Hampton and Exeter). I loved the convenience of them being in town, and picking up a tired dog at the end of the day. However, he will never go back. It is no longer a safe space for him. Please read all reviews for this business AND Play All Day (Exeter),before choosing the best place for your dog. I hope this will prevent any other families from experiencing an "incident" like this.
