If we could give Colleen ten stars, we would. She was so supportive, professional, and knowledgeable with Sasha and with us! She analyzed any problems we had and provided effective solutions. She is super-informed with all kinds of helpful aids that make puppy-training easier. Brava, Colleen!

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!

We were new to the pet ownership world and although we were excited, with time our excitement faded due to the overwhelming feeling of molding a well-behaved dog. We called on Colleen to help us train our puppy, Finn. Colleen's sessions were always positive, informative, hands-on, and she always imbedded time in each training session for us to sit down and talk about goals, questions, and plans to reach the desired outcome. Colleen is professional, awesome with guiding children on how to be involved in training, and so down to earth...always realizing that life isn't the same for each family/pet she encounters. Finn is almost 6 months now and Colleen gave us the tools we need to be confident and responsible dog owners! Thank you, Colleen!!
Colleen is very good with the puppy and with the owners. She not only gives good advice but, demonstrates the advice so the owners get a feel for how to do the training!! After less than 1 week our pup, Spike, is already responding to his name, sitting and coming on command!!! I highly recommend Colleen and Positive Interactions dog behavior and training!!

We can’t say enough about what an incredible experience we had working with Colleen and Positive Interactions! Our two year old rescue was quite the handful on walks— reactive and hard to manage, barking and pulling at passerby’s of the two and especially four legged variety. We worked on a reward based counter conditioning with Colleen, along with general behavior training, and the progress was incredible. Even our neighbors have commented what tremendous Lucky has made! She also helped us develop success strategies as our infant son began to enter the toddler phase—house preparation, dog language cues, etc. Beyond the amazing results, it was an absolute pleasure to work with Colleen. She is knowledgeable and thorough, attentive and detail oriented, warm and a consummate professional.
