- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I deal with humans as a nurse, and dogs as a behaviorist. I use the knowledge of human and dog psychology to help dogs and humans understand each other. It is so rewarding.

Introduction
I can help you solve any issue you
are having with your pup! I am a
certified professional dog trainer
(CPDT-KA) and I have a Masters
degree in Human-Animal Studies
I taught puppy classes for Fidelco
Guide Dog Foundation, and I
was a relief trainer at the Boulder
Humane Society. I also have a lot
of experience training working
dogs, and that has helped me
see that our pets have
tremendous potential.
I love helping people
and their pets work through
frustrating issues and achieve
a high level of communication
and understanding.

I had a great session for my two dachshunds today! She was very friendly and the dogs respond very well to her and we are making progress in just one session! My dogs love to bark and pull at the leash and she gave me tools to build confidence in keeping the doggies in line. They are happy and sleeping now.

Niamh was able to give us some positive training techniques to help our dog overcome her fears and anxiety. She also emailed multiple tools, games and ideas to help us establish leash training, playing with toys, comfort with touch, and associate noises and sights she is currently apprehensive about with treats and praise. She explains techniques carefully while demonstrating them and having you practice as well. Our dog was comfortable interacting with her and immediately responded to new ways of getting her attention and responding to her environment.
Details: 2 - 10 years old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • Private lessons • Aggressive behavior modification • Leash pulling • Barking • Biting • My home, venue, etc.

Niamh was so great to work with. She has a lot of patience and took the time to work with each member of the family to help us resolve some training gaps with our older puppy. I highly recommend Niamh!

Niamh is amazing. She worked with my dog and me this afternoon, and I learned so many helpful things to try. She helped change the way I've been approaching some challenges, as well as the way I perceive my overall relationship with my dog. Niamh is easy to talk to, was wonderful with my dog, and left me with some much needed confidence around working through our challenges. I highly recommend Niamh. She's very knowledgeable, helpful, and put me at great ease today.
