FirstBarkI had a consultation regarding my senior rescue dog with multiple issues. Colleen helped me to sort out which issue would be best to focus my efforts on so that I could feel not so overwhelmed. While she has a wealth of knowledge to share, she was really good at tailoring her suggestions to my dog's unique situation. Highly recommended!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Where is the training done?
I come to your home for the original consultation and all follow-up training sessions. If I am working with a dog who is reactive to other dogs while on walks, we will sometimes have a training session or two at a local park, trail, or in the owner's neighborhood, so that the training methods that have been learned and practiced previously, can be used in "real-life" situations with my guidance.

Can a senior dog still learn new behaviors?
Yes! Our senior dogs are quite capable of learning new behaviors. The key is to find what is most motivating to your dog and use that as a reward/reinforcer for a behavior you requested. Most dogs are motivated by food such as cheese and cooked chicken. But tossing a ball, a quick tug on the rope, or your verbal praise can be very motivating for some dogs too. So go now, and teach your senior pup some new tricks!

Colleen walked into a mess and quickly understood my situation. She recognized that we adopted a puppy emotionally and her words calmed us into looking at our 1 year old differently. She clearly knows what she is doing and we are planning to utilize her services for a calm resolution.
We had a great experience with Colleen. Her training techniques have really helped us improve our dog's rambunctious and sometimes aggressive behavior. I definitely recommend her.

Colleen has been amazing with our 2 rescue dogs that have many issues based in anxiety. She has been patient and informative. They look forward to her coming over and working with them and so do we. She has given us tools to help them inside when they are anxious and outside when walking on a leash. We highly recommend Colleen. She really understands our furry babies and has been great with understanding our needs and the needs of our family and how we can all work together. 10/10 stars!!!

We appreciated Colleen so much for her help with our dog, Boots. He is a rambunctious one year old lab that also happened to be our first dog! She is very kind, calming and taught us so much in a very short period of time. She approaches all teaching in a nonjudgemental way and makes you feel very comfortable to ask questions and to be open and honest. We appreciated all of her help and saw an immense change in our dog Boots. She truly is amazing. Thank you again !
