About Nicky

42 years old
My friends and family sometimes describe me as the dog whisperer. since I was a toddler I have always had a fascination and love of dogs and all animals. I've had experience with wildlife care taking care of birds, reptiles, wallabies injured farm animals all sorts. I've done volunteer work abroad in conservation and animal rescue the main 2 being elephant rescue and care and a dog rescue centre in northern Thailand. I spent many years in turtle rescue and rehabilitation care. 4 months ago I lost my beautiful doggo to Cancer. I rescued her when she was 3 and had her for 7 years. After rescue I found out she had an immune disorder and many allergies. Over our 7 years together we did extensive training as she was a reactive dog and unfortunately I nursed her through many injuries and illnesses so have a lot of experiences with physio, administering medication and injectons if necessary (she needed regular allergy shots so I learnt to administer them from the vet so as she wasn't stressed so regularly going to the clinic) I have great connection with all dogs and love to train, play and nurture them. I've always had medium to large strong breeds of dogs so don't have a problem with any size.
