Nichola Bond

Nichola was born and raised in Southampton England. Her love for animals began at a very young age. Much to her parent's dismay, she would constantly bring home stray or unwanted dogs to take care of them. Nichola moved to the United States at the age of 18 and adopted her first "American" dog Sam who she loves dearly. Nichola quickly found a job as a veterinarian technician. She is an experienced dog trainer with an immense amount of knowledge for identifying problems and illnesses in dogs. Nichola has been working with the PAWSitive Power Dog Training family for several years and we are very proud to have her here with us and Vendy knows that when Nichola is in charge of the paw students, that everyone is happy, healthy and safe.
