Cold Nose Companions Dog Training

Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks? Our 5-year old Border Collie mix was SUPER reactive to strangers before we reached out to Cold Nose for help. Christine has helped us completely turn our dog's behavioral issues around. Her methods truly work and I feel really good about her training model. We just completed one of her 6-week classes and are signing up for another right away! Cold Nose Companions is a MUST for anyone who truly cares about their new puppy or their dog and wants to do right by them.

My recently rescued Pit Bull Terrier mix spent 11 months in a shelter without the socialization, structure, and consistent guidance needed to become a confident, well-adjusted companion. As a result, I had significant work to do in building foundational behaviors and strengthening our communication. Christine’s expertise, both in canine behavior broadly and in understanding this breed specifically, has been invaluable. She has helped me better understand how to appropriately teach new behaviors and thoughtfully correct unwanted ones using clear, consistent methods. Just as importantly, she has shown remarkable patience with the “human” at the other end of the leash as I learn and apply new behavior modification techniques. I am already seeing measurable improvement in how my dog responds and in the quality of our interactions. The structured guidance, combined with Cold Nose’s open floor time, has provided a safe and constructive outlet for my dog to release energy while reinforcing positive behaviors. I cannot speak highly enough of Christine’s training approach. Her commitment to positive reinforcement and her ability to educate owners alongside their dogs produce meaningful, lasting results. I would confidently recommend Cold Nose to any dog owner who wants to build a strong, respectful, and well-trained partnership with their dog.
