I'm thankful every day that our neighbors referred us to Colonial Dog Training, and our trainer Jenna. We've been so happy with the training assistance provided by Jenna for our energetic Brittany puppy. Her expert advice on how to reinforce good behaviors and correct bad behavior has helped give us a lot of confidence. The training program is clearly documented, and Jenna checks in on a regular basis between visits, which we really appreciate. Great experience for all!
Jackie has been great. She’s a fantastic communicator (I am not, so the nudges I receive are 100% necessary), and she really makes herself available for anything you need. We’ve only had 2 sessions, but I’ve already seen a difference in my dog’s behavior and confidence. I can’t wait to see the change in him as we more further.
Maggie is great! Our dogs love her and respond to her style of training extremely well! We tell everyone about Colonial and look forward to continuing to work with the team as our dogs progress! Highly recommend!
