Colleen is an amazing dog trainer!! Over the years, she has trained three of our large and athletic dogs. They all respect her, and have learned a ton from her sessions. I can't say enough great things about Colleen. We consider her our family dog trainer, and lucky to have her help us train our dogs. Wendy C
