363. Being Open to Change w/ Nikki West

In today's episode Nikki West joins me to share her training journey. Nikki started training under a Caesar Milan mentor and was excited to get started but slowly started to realize the holes and fallout of that style of training. Nikki then learned from a more traditional obedience trainer. She dove into that style of training including using pinch collars and e collars. After using those tools for a few years she started to see the negative effects and abusive that was happening and made a change.

Nikki took it upon herself to learn and research to find a more kind, compassionate, and ethical approach to training. Nikki now chooses to train without punishment or pinch collars and e collars. Nikki shares how transformative her new approach has been and how her personal dogs and clients are thriving.
