with Niki French
Do you dream of being able to take your dog anywhere, without worrying about how they’ll react?
I can help...
Leave stress and frustration behind with simple, fun and transformational dog training to help you and your dog build a stronger bond.
Hi, I’m Niki French
I’m an award-winning dog trainer, author of Amazon best seller STOP! Walking Your Dog, and advocate for dogs and people who are finding life hard.
Small changes to your dog training can make all the difference.
You might be here because you’re not able to do the things with your dog that other people take for granted…
…things like going for a walk, visiting the vets or groomers, riding in a car… and let’s not even mention going on holiday.
My clients are often very stressed and tired. Their dog takes a lot of management. People around them rarely understand what their dog needs and think they’re pandering to the dog.
What your dog needs – love, patience and security.
I guide people with a holistic approach to their dog’s wellbeing. It’s not just training.
Through my 1-2-1 training, membership community and book, I’ve helped thousands of dog parents feel empowered, optimistic, and equipped to help their dogs thrive. Without spending every spare hour training their dog.
ACCREDITED. AWARDED. TRUSTED.

“I first discovered Niki through her brilliant book STOP! Walking Your Dog, which was a lifeline for owners of anxious and overwhelmed dogs like mine. Since then, Niki has become our go-to trainer in the Yellow Space Zones.
She is such a kind, caring person, and I’ve learnt so much from her - from confidence-building games to practical knowledge that makes a real difference for dogs who struggle. I’m so grateful for her support and expertise.”
