“We've taken our rescue puppy Cassie to multiple trainers and hands down Niki French gave us the best results. Cassie can be difficult - not always friendly towards strangers - but Niki gave us lots of useful advice and helpful confidence-building games - and, just as important, was great at listening to us.”
