Nicole Berthold, KPA-CTP, Trainer

Nicole holds a degree in Biology and recently earned her certification as a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner! Click here to see what it means to be a Karen Pryor Academy trainer, and to see the pledge that she takes annually as a KPA-CTP.

She guides dog and puppy owners to success both by leading our group classes and via in-home private training. Nicole has an impressive career with animals, including working in the zoo field,  gaining training experience with a wide variety of animals.

Later, she generously offered her time volunteering and training at shelters around the state, helping improve the quality of life for animals living in the shelter.

Nicole eagerly pursues ongoing continuing education and professional development by attending seminars, volunteering and keeping current on all industry literature. When not helping clients to enjoy easier lives with their canine companions, Nicole currently volunteers by spreading joy with her own dog, River (above), as a Certified Therapy Dog Team.
