FirstBarkJackie has been awesome to work with! She has really helped me not feel like a complete failure when it comes to the struggles we've been having with our 2.5 year old dog. The tips, pointers and approach Jackie has shared has been really easy to learn and figure out ways to add on to continue improving our dog's behavior.

My dog Reese and I have been working with Maggie from Colonial Dog Training for almost a year now and I cannot express enough how amazing she is. She adapts each lesson to our needs and answers any questions I (or my family) have at any time. She celebrates every victory and genuinely cares about her clients. I can't believe how much progress Reese and I have made!
I could not recommend Colonial Dog Training and Maggie enough! Since our very first lesson, Maggie has addressed our specific training goals and has worked thoughtfully and patiently with my dog. Maggie is incredibly knowledgeable about dog training, patient, professional, and responsive. My dog and I absolutely love working with her!
I work with Maggie and she is just amazing. From consultation to where we are at now with my dog has been such a pleasant process. She listens to me wants and needs with my dog who was very reactive outside. With patience and hard work from everyone my dog has gotten so much better. Excited to see where we go from here. 100% recommend colonial dog training

I cannot recommend Maggie and Colonial dog training enough! Maggie was so professional and patient with my dog. She gave us plans that worked specifically for him and I cannot believe how quickly she got him from non-stop pulling on the leash to having good manners and even being off leash with ease. Maggie was available outside of lessons if we had a question which really helped. My dog also LOVED Maggie and loved when she came for training sessions!
