About Us

For the past 20 years, Nichole’s training career has involved both horses and dogs. She spent that time showing, riding and training as well as coaching as a riding instructor and managing a horse barn. In January 2018, Nichole was introduced to professional dog training at Five Rings Pet Resort in Hanson, MA. She quickly fell in love with training dogs. Her greatest enjoyment is helping people and their animals grow in their communication, building the best possible relationship for life. After moving to Findlay, Ohio in 2019, Nichole started Precious Pearl Dog Training where she pursues her love for people and animals through training. She continues to gain certifications and education in the dog training industry and is currently a certified Trick Dog Trainer through DMWYD.

Dogs are one of God’s greatest gifts. They are loyal, intelligent, loving creatures who desire to understand their role in the family. Every dog is unique. Much like people, they have their own personality, strengths and weaknesses. Our goal at Precious Pearl Dog Training is to provide quality training, treating each dog as an individual.

Whether you have a new puppy as an addition to the family, you’re looking for better manners of your four footed friend, or you just want a better relationship with your dog – give us a call or message us to set up a free evaluation! We look forward to meeting you!
