Who We Are
Farrah's Canine College was founded in 2022 on the belief that
not all pets are born equal. They each have their own unique traits and mannerisms, and therefore require their own unique and specialized training. That’s where we come in!
Whether it’s for basic manners or more complex behavioral issues, I am focused on not only training your pet, but teaching you how to effectively communicate with them. This method of training is full of fun techniques that will give you and your pet a happier life together.
My training style falls under L.I.M.A. Which means Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive, I will use tools and methods based on what your dog needs.
Meet the Trainer
Meet Farrah's Canine College Founder and Owner, Farrah Nickerson.
I have been professionally training dogs for three years now under a variety of different people. Which has allowed me to gain knowledge on different training styles, and a multitude of different dogs. This also includes behavior modification, such as reactivity.
I have experience both in pet dog and working dog training. My skill set also includes training service dogs and I happen to be a service dog handler myself.
I also train and compete both in AKC, UKC, IGP, French Ring, and Disc sports. I have titled multiple dogs in those avenues and actively competing.
Those titles include:
IGP3 (Highest level of tracking, obedience and protection)
BH/VT (A degree for traffic-safe companion dogs that tests the dogs temperament in and around people. This is done on ad off leash)
CSAU (Demonstrates that the dog is clear headed, sociable and that the owner can control his/her dog)
DJ ( A division title that is earned by accumulative five (5) qualifying jumps within one division in 10 ft. - 14 ft. 11 in range)
RN (A Rally title awarded by the AKC after achieving three qualifying scores from the Rally Novice Class)
UKC Championship (To earn a Championship title, a minimum of 100 Championship points and 3 Competition wins awarded under 3 different judges must be earned)
SPOT-ON (Consists of 10 separate stations. At each station the dog must perform a basic exercise. These exercises are used to demonstrate that the dog is capable of exhibiting desired behaviors that the general public would expect to see in a well-behaved dog)
