A message from the trainer

Colleen Demling-Riley, CDBC, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA

 

I LOVE training dogs. I LOVE working with clients. I feel blessed every single time I watch a relationship transform as the pup and pet parent learn how to communicate with each other. Honestly, it’s why I do this. Dog training is my calling. Over the last 20 years as a professional trainer and behaviorist, I’ve been able to fine tune my craft and gain invaluable experience that allows me to quickly and effectively help pet parents with anything from puppy manners and obedience to more complex issues like aggression and separation anxiety. I look forward to personally working with you and your dog.

 

All My Best,

Colleen
