What People Are Saying
“Working with Colleen has changed mine and my pups life. Her holistic approach to understanding each of my dogs individual needs, personalities, background, triggers, and so much more allows her to give specifies advice and techniques for each pet.
Aside from simple commands – focused training, Colleen also provides aromatherapy support for each of my dogs which has helped greatly. I was skeptical at first of the ability for the oil blends to help my dogs behavior, but the results truly blew me away and I cannot deny their effectiveness. Colleen created a ‘calming blend’ for my older dog who suffers from anxiety, especially when traveling in the car or during thunderstorms. While using her custom blend on a blanket, she will immediately snuggle up and relax on it, both in the house and in the car. Additionally, the nutrition advice she gave me for my dog struggling with food allergies and the custom blend she made to reduce the gunk in her ears helped clear up her fungal infection so fast.
The care and passion that Colleen has for our pets is obvious through every interaction with her, and she has easily become my dogs favorite friend, despite them being scared and reactive toward strangers in the past. I truly cannot recommend working with Colleen enough, as she has taught me how to better understand and work with my dogs which has allowed us to progress towards our goals.”

I have had quite a few trainers and Colleen was 'by far' the best trainer. She listened and made constructive comments for me to utilize with Rosie. Colleen is very connected with Rosie and with that Rosie responded well to the training. She is awesome and I would use her again.

Colleen's love of dogs and her understanding of what rescues (in particular) need sets her apart from others. She took a very customized and focused approach to my specific concerns and was flexible in trying different solutions. Also, my dogs love her...four paws up!
