At Cold Creek Dog Training, we've been helping dogs and their people since 2002. Serving South-Central PA, Northern Maryland, and Eastern Ohio, our certified trainers bring over 30 years of experience to every session.
We offer private lessons, in-home Board & Train programs, and specialized support for challenging dogs with aggression or anxiety. Our "Grow With Us" puppy programs guide you through those tricky adolescent months with patience and structure.
Our approach is personalized, compassionate, and rooted in real-world behavioral training, not just obedience! We focus on building calm, confident dogs and stronger human-canine relationships.

Very happy with Cold Creek Dog Training! Nadia was our trainer and she was awesome. We did the 5 weeks puppy boarding training, 2 weeks initially, then 3 weeks later on, and are very happy with our dog’s results! Maverick is a rambunctious Doberman and can be quite difficult. Nadia was able to get him to listen and respond. As long as we keep reinforcing that which he has learned, we have faith Maverick will grow into a well rounded and behaved pup!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Cold Creek Dog Training. We were lucky enough to have Kaia as the trainer for our fear-aggressive English Bulldog, Stella. Kaia’s training techniques, knowledge, patience, professionalism, open communication, and love of her job — have truly changed Stella for the better. We no longer have to stress about Stella’s behavior when we have company over, etc, because of all of the effective training she has received. I highly recommend Cold Creek Dog Training. (And Kaia is the best!!).

Kaia did an outstanding job with my girl. She was kind and patient when River was nothing but terrified of every person who came into my house that wasn't me. She helped support what I was already doing and taught me exceptional tools to help further River's confidence.

Kaia did a phenomenal job with my fiance and I's dog training her to work on her behavioral issues and the progress the dog has made as a result of the training has been nothing short of spectacular. Can't recommend this company enough.
