About Nino's Academy
Our Philosophy
At the core of our training is a belief in respect, communication, and connection—not just between dogs and people, but among all members of the community.
We believe:
🐾Every dog is an individual. We tailor training to the unique personality, history, and needs of each dog, honouring their background and potential.
🐾 Every human deserves support. We meet people where they are—without judgment—empowering them with knowledge, compassion, and confidence.
🐾Training should be force-free and fear-free. We use positive reinforcement methods grounded in behaviuoral science to build trust and encourage lifelong learning.
🐾Inclusion matters. No matter your dog’s breed, background, or your experience level, you and your dog are welcome here. We celebrate all kinds of families, because great training belongs to everyone.
Our Team
With a heart for dogs and a passion for building stronger human-animal bonds, our team brings patience, consistency, and years of hands-on experience to every session. Our approach is rooted in positive reinforcement, clear communication, and respect—for dogs and their people. Whether working with shy rescues, high-energy pups, or dogs with behaviour challenges, we are committed to meeting each dog where they are, helping them grow with confidence and joy. Because every dog deserves a chance to thrive—and every human deserves a trainer who truly listens.
