Nichol Jeff DVM

I have a poodle that developed some serious anxiety / fear-based aggression. We tried everything but it seemed like we had plateaued so we decided to try Dr. Nichol. I'm happy to say that we've continued to make progress and my fur baby is slowly getting better. We still have some work to do, but so far Dr. Nichol has been very understanding and attentive to my poodle's needs. Its been about a year and I don't have anything negative to say about his approach or the progress we've made. I know that behavioral issues can't be cured overnight and take a lot of consistent work, and that's why I'm so appreciative of Dr. Nichol. I can just email him whenever I find myself with a new concern or whatever it may be, and he responds to me with as much advice as possible.

Dr. Nichols is the best! He managed to get dogs belonging to two sisters (living apart) to get along with each other. One a jack Russel, the other a shitz tau. And advised me when a suffering lost dog couldn't be caught. And he has the BEST wit. I read his column in the Albuquerque Journal for a happy laugh as well as info for when I get another dog!

I've run into a few pet owners now who have had to euthanize their dogs specifically because they followed Jeff Nichol's advice. I consulted him with a very bad behavioral problem a few years ago; I was pretty horrified by the advice he gave me. Evidently anyone can hang out a shingle as an "animal behaviorist", even people who might need a little help themselves. I left his office feeling sorry for his family and any pet owner who goes to him. If you do the opposite of everything he tells you, you might actually solve your problem. Or just go find someone better - there are a few good people in Albuquerque. Just not this one. OH, and if you get his paper from Animal Humane, read it and do the opposite of everything it tells you. Then throw it away.
