Customer Reviews

  • Tracy S. Peterborough, NH:

    “I had just adopted my first dog, who happens to be a 10 year old Bichon Frise. Erica came over and patiently answered all of my questions, showed me some very simple techniques, and gave me great recommendations that helped me feel much more confident as a new “fur mama.” I recommend her very highly!”

  • Katie M. and The Pack, Lyndeborough, NH:

    “Erica is a wonderful trainer who clearly loves what she does. She is very knowledgeable and really understands canine behavior, but most importantly she does a great job of not only training her 4-legged clients, but her 2-legged ones as well! I worked with Erica to deal with a few issues with my older rescue and was extremely happy with her approach and the results. She took the time to understand our unique situation and provided practical solutions we could follow-through on. Recently I re-connected with Erica to help me with my new puppy. Thanks to several private and group lessons our new family member is well socialized and follows our house rules…at least the majority of the time. I would highly recommend Wicket Good Dog Training!”

  • Mats are available in large and small. Large is appropriate for all size dogs, small is best for dogs under 10 lbs or for other small animals like cats or rabbits. Braided fleece tug toys are available in large and small. Large is appropriate for puppies and all size dogs, small is appropriate for dogs under 20lbs. Each piece is handcrafted by me and is machine washable!
