Nicolette Myszkowski, ABCDT

Regional Trainer | Philadelphia, PA

she/her/hers

Growing up as the child of a military service member, I moved frequently across the country. Although I never had a dog as a child, I loved dog-sitting and watching my neighbors train their dogs. After joining the Navy and seeing the world, I adopted my first dog, Wilson. When we struggled to find a suitable trainer, I researched and learned how to train him myself, which first sparked my passion for dog training. Upon separating from the military, I worked briefly at a local rescue before pursuing formal training for my service dog, Sophie, after my health began declining. It was then that I began working with Canine Defined as a client and discovered my love for canine psychology. I then earned my ABCDT Certification through Animal Behavior College while continuing to work with my mentor, Meg. With my newfound knowledge, I helped others train their dogs and eventually brought Cal, my next service dog prospect, into our family.

I now live in Philadelphia with my husband and our three dogs. We are all nature lovers and enjoy daily walks to the park and regularly go hiking in the area. My dogs also participate in AKC events such as sports and conformation, which is incredibly fun and fulfilling for both me and them.
