Chris is incredible. He is an extremely knowledgeable dog trainer. He helped us turn our high energy 3 month old puppy into a well behaved dog. He is extremely caring with animals and tailored the entire program to our dogs specific needs. We can’t recommend him enough!

Tom helped us make progress with our dog’s leash reactivity when we had honestly started to lose hope. His guidance was clear, practical, and incredibly effective. We’ve seen a huge improvement in our dog’s confidence and behavior on walks, and what once felt stressful now feels manageable. We’re so grateful for Tom’s expertise and support, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone dealing with reactivity or behavioral challenges.

Was referred to Colonial by our neighbor. Chris was great with our new rescue puppy. In the 1st session we saw immediate results with Shelby learning several commands. We had multiple follow sessions that were equally effective. Chris was flexible with our schedule and showed us how to work with our pup on our own. Would highly recommend Chris for training your dog.

I was recommended Colonial dog training by a family member, and was connected with a trainer Sarah who specialized in behavioral issues. Sarah’s guidance and training with our dog Clyde was life-changing, with results better than we ever imagined. Our 6 yr old dog had some pretty severe aggression issues with resource guarding. We had gone to multiple other dog trainers over the years for obedience training and later address the aggression issues, but his aggression issues were not improving. Sarah made significant progress with our dog in just the first session. We saw continued improvement over the following weeks and months, and before we knew it our dog’s issues truly seemed to be resolved. He was not just “managed”, but actually had significant behavioral changes for the better. Our life (and our dog’s life) has improved so much based on this change! It gave us all freedom and safety back in our lives, and frankly kept our dog from potentially being re-homed. I think Sarah is an incredible dog trainer, with the ability to truly understand the root of the dog’s behavior problems and read how they respond in different situations. We learned so much through our lessons with her, and she worked to make each lesson specific to our needs and situation. I give Colonial dog training, and especially Sarah, the highest recommendation, especially to those struggling with their dog’s behavioral issues.

Puppy went through their training program and is doing great!
