"Best investment ever..."
"I rescued a great little dog, but he had some of that typical yappy, jumpy behavior.
Nildan knew exactly what to do immediately. It was such a relief to find out what he needed from me in order to feel safe and calm. Three lessons later and he's a totally chill little furperson. Best investment ever." Robin Howard & Teddy, Pomeranian Mt Pleasant, SC "Home life is so much easier..."
"Home life is so much easier after our training sessions. We have a very active, large German Shepherd, among other dogs, who is a handful. We have learned how to redirect his energy, focus, and undesirable behaviors toward more positive ones. When one strategy doesn't work, Nildan always has an alternative to suggest." Joyce Morgan & Boggy, German Shepherd, James Island, SC "...was very rewarding to me and my pup.""The Puppy-B-Good class was very rewarding to me and my pup. The instructor, Nildan Atkay, was very knowledgeable about the different types of training procedures. She had lots of good advice to give.
I will definitely be seeing her in the future for more classes." Kayti Smith & Ruby Lou, Weimeraner/Lab Mix James Island, SC "Nildan was very resourceful & efficient."
"Nildan was very resourceful & efficient. She trained our super hyper puppy to listen & obey in a way that was fun on both sides."

"Nildan has a great way of working with both dogs AND their owners!"...
"She provided me with suggestions that were easy to implement as well as tips to ease my dog's anxiety. She also helped us with our other very high-energy German Shepherd."
Carrie Hegenderfer with Rusty & Lohtse, GSD & Eastern GSD Mt Pleasant, SC "It was an extremely educational and positive experience..."
"I was at my wit's end with the relationship between my dogs, afraid one was going to badly injure the other. The dynamic was disturbing. The knowledge my husband and I gained through our sessions with Nildan have been invaluable. Once we learned how to read our dogs' body language, recognize the communication signals taking place between them, and discovered ways to approach their needs in a positive way, our whole home environment changed. We became 'proactive', anticipating and preventing unpleasant situations from occuring. It was an extremely educational and positive experience for both me and my dogs. We really enjoyed our sessions, and continue to work on behaviors with our dogs." Kate L. with Gypsy, Border Collie Mix & Lady, Dauchshund James Island, SC "Nildan displays great knowledge...""Nildan displays great knowledge of dog behavior and training. Her positive training techniques were easy to follow and very effective.
My puppy loved working with her throughout our private sessions!" Kerri & Scout, Labradoodle James Island, SC |
"Her techniques are...extremely effective."
"Nildan communicates well with dog and owners. Her techniques are based on behavior theory, and when followed consistently, are extremely effective." Jeff Payne & Nala, Pitbull Terrier Daniel Island, SC "Nildan's Polite Greetings Class for Sully was a great success."
Before the classes, we were not capable to take Sully on outings. The classes taught us how to communicate effectively with Sully and she learned what we were asking her to do. Our proof of success was taking Sully to Folly Beach last weekend, full of people and other dogs. We used the techniques learned in class and had a fun, no- problem day at the beach. We now can enjoy all that Charleston has to offer with our furry friend!
Thank you. The Swanson Family "I have recommended Mrs. Atkay to several friends."
I am 100% satisfied with the instruction that my dog and I received. I have recommended Mrs. Atkay to several friends - their dogs need her!" Rebecca & Cece, Chiweenie North Charleston, SC "After only two lessons I'm already seeing my dog's behaviors improve..."
"I have had huge success communicating (training) with dogs in the past but never had a terrier mix. After only two lessons I am already seeing my dog's behaviors improve, as I can finally communicate and work with her more effectively. Thank you so much, Nildan!"
Amy E. & Rosie, Terrier/Pitbull Mix Johns Island, SC "I'm looking forward to doing more lessons."
"I've enjoyed working with Nildan in private sessions. The training was fun and she incorporated lessons with outings in and around Charleston, the dog parks, and our neighborhood. Bailee especially likes it when Nildan brings over another puppy for socialization and play time. Bailee and I still have more work to do but I'm looking forward to doing more lessons and taking classes." Debbie Hennessy & Bailee, Cavachon Mt Pleasant, SC "We absolutely recommend Nildan!""Despite our dogs' older ages of 7 and 11 years, Nildan was successful at improving many of their behaviors including reducing their general anxiety and eliminating symptoms of separation anxiety, like going in the house.
The training sessions increased our dogs' confidence, relationship with people, and overall quality of life. It also taught us a lot about our (humans') behaviors, too. We absolutely recommend Nildan!" J.B. with Zoey, Australian Terrier & Wrigley, Beagle Mix Daniel island, SC |
