We provide dog training and solve behavior problems in puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs in the Santa Clarita area, as well as virtual (via Zoom, phone, or other technology) coaching for clients anywhere in the world! Does your dog jump on visitors, nip you or the kids, dig up the backyard or dart out the front door?

Does he have issues with fear, aggression, or separation anxiety? Or perhaps your feisty fur-kid is simply in need of some basic obedience and manners. Whichever the case, you've come to the right place!

Amazing lady who has a clear love for dogs and all animals. Highly recommend her. She is very professional, prompt and has such an incredible personality. It's no wonder why dogs love her so much. Lol. We'd give her 6 stars if we could. Excellent value as well.

Nicole came to see my dog, Sugar and me. She made me feel comfortable. The ideas for ways to work with Sugar seemed like ones we could do. It has only been one day but we have put them to use and so far so good. Nicole seems genuine in her feelings towards dogs and their families. Thank you

Nicole just started helping us with our 6 mo old Lab puppy. It's only been a couple days but we've tried all the suggestions and tips she's given us so far and we are already seeing results! Nicole really knows what she's talking about. She is very friendly and explains things so you understand. I felt extremely comfortable with her and you can really see the compassion she has for animals. We have more sessions scheduled with Nicole and we are looking forward to them!

Nicole came over to help with my reactive 10mo puppy. She is very knowledgeable, sweet and very easy to talk to. Even my puppy who is very people reactive loved her! That's says a lot. We had a great conversation and she gave me great tips for working him.

We love Gentle Guidance! Nicole is extremely helpful and provides you with the tools you need to train your dog. She is very thorough and friendly! She does a great job explaining training tips, we learned so much even after just one session with her! She has helped our family feel more confident and comfortable with the training process.

If you're a dog owner and lover, but unsure how to manage your pup's separation anxiety, then you need to get in touch with Gentle Guidance Owner Nicole Wilde.an expert in dog behavior. I spent a little over an hour with her today and she gave me exceptional advice on how to help my 7-month old beagle, Max. I was very impressed with her depth of knowledge and strategies she provided me to help Max overcome his anxiety when I leave the house.

I'll continue to follow up with her.she truly is interested in Max navigating through his anxiety. They don't come any better then Nicole, a certified trainer and behavior specialist, and I strongly recommend her just as my veterinarian recommended her to me!
