Nicole Parkinson
Owner/ founder
Head Trainer & Behaviourist
I own and run Nicole Parkinson - Dog Training & Behaviour Ltd.
I’m a certified professional Dog Trainer and Behaviourist,
I hold several qualifications including a BSc Hons Degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare and Diplomas in both Canine Behaviour & Training and also Animal Management. I am an Approved Dog Trainer with Dog Training College and a Registered Instructor with ADTB (Academy of Dog Training & Behaviour)
​
Prior to setting up my business, I taught Further and Higher education students at Reaseheath College. Teaching both theory and practical topics around animal behaviour and husbandry.
​
I've been working with and training dogs for 9 years and really enjoy watching the partnership between dog and owner grow through the use of proven techniques.
​
I'm a Chinese Crested fan and have two Powderpuffs at home; Rascal and Kairi. You'll see them feature in our posts and videos!

I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon!
