Cold Nose Companions Dog Training

Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks? Our 5-year old Border Collie mix was SUPER reactive to strangers before we reached out to Cold Nose for help. Christine has helped us completely turn our dog's behavioral issues around. Her methods truly work and I feel really good about her training model. We just completed one of her 6-week classes and are signing up for another right away! Cold Nose Companions is a MUST for anyone who truly cares about their new puppy or their dog and wants to do right by them.

My recently rescued Pit Bull Terrier mix spent 11 months in a shelter without the socialization, structure, and consistent guidance needed to become a confident, well-adjusted companion. As a result, I had significant work to do in building foundational behaviors and strengthening our communication. Christine’s expertise, both in canine behavior broadly and in understanding this breed specifically, has been invaluable. She has helped me better understand how to appropriately teach new behaviors and thoughtfully correct unwanted ones using clear, consistent methods. Just as importantly, she has shown remarkable patience with the “human” at the other end of the leash as I learn and apply new behavior modification techniques. I am already seeing measurable improvement in how my dog responds

I spent weeks researching and trying to decide on a training center and found Cold Nose Companions through our vet. They've been fantastic with my dog and he loves going to classes! He finishes his second set of classes tomorrow, and has already started his third set. I've had classes with all three trainers and they've all been great! We will definitely continue doing classes with them, it's been extremely helpful. It's also great how close they are to where we live.

This is the 2nd dog that I've trained with Cold Nose Companions and I can't say enough good things about them. Christine was the most recent instructor I've worked with and she was absolutely amazing, they all are. I've worked with them both individually and in group classes. My first dog actually received his therapy dog status thru them. Highly recommend.

Just finished our third class out of 6. Overall a good experience. However, I would recommend if your dog has a specific issue to work on, schedule a private class. Group classes don't have the time to work specifically with one dog individually on one specific issue. My dog has an issue with motorcycles which can't be addressed in the group class.
