I spent about 6 weeks taking my boy Kero to Marina and Sergio for behavior correction. We received Kero at 6 months old with many different behavioral problems due to lack of training, and after the 6 weeks of training with these two, Kero is like a completely different pup. He was extremely reactive with people and other dogs and Marina was able to get me to the point of being able to walk him where he can see other dogs without reacting at significantly closer distances. He used to bark at dogs he would see down the block and now he’s played with other dogs! He’s also no longer reactive with people and greets everyone calmly. I tried other trainers that had tried to work with Kero but were not successful, while at the first consultation, Marina had Kero’s full attention in just a few minutes. She also had great tips on Kero’s diet and taught me many things that would make me a better dog owner.
If your dog has any problems that you would like to work on, you can’t go wrong with Nikko’s way dog training.

Marina changed my dog’s life. My dog is a rescue who must have had a traumatic past life, thus is extremely dog reactive & her reactions were dangerous. Over 10 weeks of training, Marina transformed Miley‘s behavior tremendously. Miley previously couldn’t get within 10 feet of another dog without going insane. Now Miley is an NYC dog that can pass multiple dogs on the sidewalk without an issue. Marina developed a great bond with Miley that was evident every time I visited them during training. Marina has always been honest and transparent with me, and still advises me when I reach out with a question about Miley. Marina knows what she’s doing and is not afraid to take on the worst behavioral cases, like Miley’s. I cannot praise her and her work enough! She is the real deal and we are so very grateful of the efforts she went to for my dog to live a normal life. 💜

Marina was very helpful with training Atlas. Atlas doesn’t pull on his leash while walking anymore. Atlas is more controllable when other dogs are present on walks as well. Marina gave many good pointers on dog behavior and what to do in situations. I would recommend Nikko’s Way Dog Training to anyone looking for help with training their dog. Thanks Marina !

Marina is the best dog trainer I’ve ever met. Not only did she help me pick our family dog by looking throughly for the best dog breeder around but she also helped us understand our dog and train him to do all that we want him to do. Zero is a very well trained and food driven pup because of Marinas expertise and we will recommend her 1000% to anyone who needs any type of dog training services. Thank you Marina!!!
