K954 Dog Training, Fort Lauderdale FL

Niketa is a verifiable dog whisperer and can teach you to ‘hear’ your own dog. It was a sincere pleasure working with her and a great success! She’s worth every penny. Don’t hesitate—- her gentle techniques work!

Working with Niketa has been such a blessing! My dog literally loves her. She has such a natural way of understanding and communicating with him. I could tell from our first session that she knew her stuff. She was able to pinpoint the source of my senior dog’s anxious behavior and helped me tremendously with his separation anxiety. We have been working together since 2022, and I can always reach out to her if I need any advice on my dog or if I have any concerns. She never hesitates to help us troubleshoot when we need it!

I have known Niketa for over 3 years, training each of my dogs at different times. From my puppies Bundy (English Pointer) and Vader (Bull Mastiff), to my crazy adult Artie (Bull Terrier, need I say more), and my senior citizen girl Cosmo (Boxer). I have been consistently impressed with her skills, knowledge, and dedication to her work. She builds strong relationships with both dogs and their owners. She is an expert in a variety of dog training techniques, we've worked on obedience, agility, behavioral modification with all four of my dogs and she has a deep understanding of canine psychology. Niketa is an excellent instructor, showing both patience and understanding for our situation. She is always willing to work with her us to find the best training solution for my dog's individual needs. She completely understands each of my dog's personalities and learning styles. She is such a talented dog trainer with a passion for her work she loves my dogs as much as I do. She is a dedicated professional who is committed to providing her clients with the highest quality of service. I have no doubt that Niketa would be a valuable asset to anyone looking for a dog trainer because she always goes above and beyond for us.

Wow, what can we say about Niketa and her gift, talent and passion for working with dogs. Our pit bull mix dog yodgi is a very special boy that came to us as a rescue with some behavioral issues and was extremely fearful and insecure. Niketa emanates calming energy that put our dog at ease. He *immediately* bonded with Niketa and since working with her regularly, he has become a more secure, happier dog. In the past something as simple as a pen falling onto the floor would have sent him into a panic; he doesn’t do that anymore. She’s also taught us a lot about dog psychology and how to manage our dog on walks and to understand his behavior.

Niketa has also been kind enough to care for our dog when we went out-of-town, which has been amazing because we didn’t think we were going to be able to travel because our dog requires special care.

Niketa has been a blessing and we only trust her with our boy Yodgi.

Niketa is amazing. We have been working with her for a short couple of months on having our golden retriever certified as a service dog. The progress has been so much faster than I would have ever imagined due to Niketa's incredible techniques, patience and command of training. We recently went to Home Depot to test her progress and I was simply astonished at how well she did. We tested her with all kinds of noisy distractions, and putting her in uncomfortable positions, and she remained calm and attentive the entire time. Once you meet Niketa you will quickly she how passionate she is about what she does. She has so much experience and various educational certifications yet continues to challenge herself to learn more. She has a calm demeanor, is incredibly patient with our dog, never getting frustrated and working through all challenges in baby steps. The dog completely trusts Niketa, as do we! We highly recommend K954 for even the most basic of training, you will not be disappointed!

Niketa is super talented and speaks dog for us. She is so knowledgeable and helpful and truly passionate about dogs. I highly recommend her and will be returning for more training.

I began training with Niketa when my dogs were just a few months old. About a month into training, I added a second puppy to the family and needed Niketa's support more than ever. Turns out my new puppy came with an array of behavioral issues including aggression and resource guarding. Niketa was very hands on and became very familiar with all the individuals involved with the care of the girls. It really helped to ensure that we created an environment where they would thrive behaviorally and socially even after training was done. Niketa's expertise and nonstop support and encouragement really made the difference to now having a calmer, manageable and more obedient dog with much less aggressive tendencies. Niketa really set us up for long term success teaching me as an owner how to control behaviors and most importantly how to identify and avoid problematic situations or as she would say how to "advocate for your dog".

We have built a lifelong relationship and bond with Niketa and continue to do check in sessions as the need arises. I cannot say enough positive things about Niketa. I am very pleased with my experience and whole heartedly recommended Niketa. She is the ONLY person I would leave my dogs with outside of close family. We book our boarding appointments months in advance to ensure she has space to board the girls when I am traveling with my family. She really cares and really is the best there is.

Niketa is phenomenal. We started training with our older golden Whiskey when he was a puppy and we were nervous because we didn’t want to “dominate” our dog. As soon as we started, we relaxed. Niketa truly values training on mutual respect. We ended up getting another puppy Tango whose personality was completely different. Niketa was able to adjust her training styles between the two and help us be able to walk both at once. Additionally, she helped us prepare for the arrival of our baby with stroller training. I can’t say enough good things about Niketa and how she helped us. My sweet pups are happy and well behaved thanks to her.

Niketa’s understanding, manner and experience have got us to our service dog goal. She listens to our dog’s and family needs. She has a passion for this art. We also trust her to board our 1-year old Golden Retriever!

Nikita is PHENOMENAL! I’ve tried many trainers thought my life, but she shines! She’s so incredibly talented and my dog has made so many bounds since he started with her! Nikita is so good at working with the dog and more so the owner to practice training and continuing progress with your dog! She has also become a friend! I will always share about how much I love K954!

My wife and I have a 2 year old Native American Indian dog, German Shepherd mix - Troy.
He never listened and was difficult to handle at times. An acquaintance recommended Niketa at K954 dog training.

She came to our residence to evaluate Troy. We were immediately impressed with her knowledge of our rare breed and her passion for dog training. We agreed on a standard 30 day board and train program during which Niketa regularly FaceTimed us to update and illustrate her progress. At the end she gave us basic instructions to follow and we are very pleased with the results she did a wonderful job and I highly recommend Niketa

Niketa was a joy to work with. From our first visit, I could tell that she understands dogs and knew how to work with ours in a positive way. We have seen how much better Zoey is at listening, greeting other dogs and walking calmly on leash. After passing the Canine Good Citizen test, our little rescue dog might make it as a therapy dog. And we have Niketa to thank for it.

My sweet sweet boy, Chef was struggling with reactivity towards other dogs on walks and constant non stop pulling. After explaining to Niketa that he was on a prong collar, as recommended by our last trainer, she then explained it was never conditioned properly and there were better options for Chef. Niketa taught me how to train him positively with treats and toys and got him totally off of the prong collar. We then worked through his reactivity and eventually moved on to working off leash! I’m so beyond happy with the results and I feel closer to Chef. Thank you K954

Niketa is the gentliest, the softest trainer for our super-non-confident and fearful boy Jack. Her patience definitely pays off in the long run. I wish my parents were as soft and gentle with me ;)
we are very glad we picked her and not other trainers that use E-collars and enforce crating. That approach doesnt work on ALL dogs. She definitely knows the dog psychology and studies for it.
Our house is also multi pet house - thats a next challange to tackle. She is also flexible: your house, outside, her facility.our 4 dogs love their Coach.

5 stars is not enough. I have been working with Niketa since Jaxon was 8 weeks old. She literally came to my house the same day I brought him home. She makes sure that you understand the dog's psychology in training both you and your pup. So it all makes sense. Niketa is not only an amazing trainer but she's also a gentle soul. You'll know what I mean the day you meet her. Jaxon and I love her so much and appreciate her so much.

I am working now with Niketa since over 3 month when I first got my Puppy Mylo. She helped me alot with training him. We started with puppy pre school and now moved on to the service dog training. She also gave me some great advise with my older dog & we did some sessions with her seperately from the puppy training. Mylo, Willow and I are very happy customers.

We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional services provided by Niketa as a dog trainer and boarder. Our beautiful chihuahua-mix, Pico, has made remarkable progress under Niketa's guidance over the past year.

Niketa's expertise in confidence building, off-leash training, and service dog training has been instrumental in Pico's development. From day one, Niketa demonstrated a deep understanding of Pico's unique needs and tailored the training sessions to her individual personality and learning style.

The boarding services provided by Niketa have been outstanding! We have complete peace of mind knowing that Pico is in a safe and loving environment when we’re away. Niketa's attention to detail, personalized care, and adherence to Pico's routine have made the boarding experience seamless and stress-free.

Her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine love for dogs are evident in every interaction. She creates a warm and nurturing environment that fosters trust and encourages growth. Her ability to establish a strong bond with Pico has been nothing short of amazing.

We wholeheartedly recommend Niketa to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate dog trainer and boarder. Pico's accomplishments are a testament to Niketa's expertise and dedication. Thank you, Niketa, for making such a positive impact on Pico's life and ours!

I had the pleasure of working with Niketa at k954 dog training who trained my puppy in basic obedience and helping him settle down in crowded areas which was helpful because I bring him everywhere with me. I also want to say thank you for boarding him when I got really busy with work and for the many cute pictures and updates you provided. I will be recommending her to everyone who needs quality dog training!
