Nicole Barnett - CTC, CSAT
Owner, We Work for Treats
Nicole has been working with dogs since 2011. She started operating a small scale dog walking company, later expanding it to a corporation employing a small team of fellow dog lovers and dog training enthusiasts.
Upon her journey with Sparky's Comrade Inc. she became heavily invested in learning more about dog wellness and behaviour. Her journey to become a force free and positive reinforcement trainer started there. She enrolled in The Academy for Dog Trainers in hopes of gaining an in-depth understanding of Applied Behaviour Analysis as well as a foundation of its application to Dog Training... and things snowballed from there:

Nicole's mission with We Work for Treats is to have a more financially accessible option for people when it comes to dog training.

We also have Virtual Consults for those needing extra coaching, and FREE YouTube material for those on a budget. At the end of the day we hope to bring joy to your dog's life at a price tag that works for you.
