Nicky Wilke, CPDT-KA,FDM, FFCP
Certified Professional Dog Trainer servicing North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby and East Vancouver.
In an industry that is unregulated Nicky Wilke is dedicated to seeking out the latest and most up-to-date training methods.
She is currently certified through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers and is a certified Family Dog Mediator (FDM) and a Fear-Free Certified Trainer (FFCP). As an accredited Mantrailing (Scent Work) instructor, Nicky is passionate about dog sports as an outlet for meeting needs and has a strong passion for teaching people and their dogs the joys of one of Mantrailing, today’s fastest growing scent work sport.
As someone who adopted a reactive dog, I know first hand the struggles and anxiety that comes from trying to simply take your dog out for a walk. Working with your dog doesn’t need to be complicated and I’m here to simplify and make training accessible and enjoyable for both you and your dog.
If you want to work with your dog by creating a strong relationship built on trust and compassion, I can help you achieve that while also seeing positive changes in your day to day life with your dog.
