Meet the Team

  • Nicole Parkinson - Founder, Head trainer & Behaviourist

    I’m a certified professional Dog Trainer and Behaviourist holding several qualifications including a BSc Hons Degree in Animal Behaviour & Welfare and Diplomas in both Canine Behaviour & Training  and Animal Management.

    I am an Approved Dog Trainer with Dog Training College and a Registered Instructor with ADTB (Academy of Dog Training & Behaviour). I also tutor for Canine Principles for their level 4, 5 and 6 courses.

    Prior to setting up my business, I taught Further and Higher education students at Reaseheath College.

    I've been working with and training dogs for 9 years and really enjoy watching the partnership between dog and owner grow through the use of proven techniques. 

    My two Chinese Cresteds; Rascal and Kairi will feature in our posts and videos!

    I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon!

  • Kamila - Group classes Instructor & Trainer

    I deliver many of the group classes for Nicole Parkinson - Dog Training and Behaviour. 

    I'm a certified dog trainer and canine body language specialist with The Dog Training College, using positive reinforcement to ensure the dog's mental well-being comes first.

    I specialise in puppies, bull breeds, and dogs who have been labelled as aggressive. These breeds in particular I am passionate about, and thrive in supporting them to live a happier life with their owners and enable them to make other furry friends!

    We look forward to seeing you at future classes!

  • Alex - Group classes Instructor & Trainer

    I’m an an IMDT qualified trainer and have studied other related courses from many different educators. I believe that you can’t stop updating your professional development and that learning should be fun. I run my own business Scouting for Dogs and have worked with several rescues in the past.

    I have had the privilege of sharing my life with several different breeds of dogs from Yorkshire terriers to Great Danes. My first dog that was my sole responsibility was a German shepherd and I now live with a lurcher.

    Prior to dog training I was a secondary science teacher, and still teach part time because I enjoy it.

    My aim is to build confidence and trust between you and your dog.

    See you soon!
