"Charge a flat fee of $1375.00 - $1575.00 for training, (Depending on your dog’s temperament, whether there’s more than one dog in your household, etc.) and we commit to working with you until we achieve all of the training goals that we establish during a comprehensive in-home behavior consultation. Your trainer will remain available to you even after training is finished, should an issue arise down the road."

We had a great consult at Colonial Dog Training. We are still in the process of deciding if we are moving forward but only based on our dogs situation not the company. We got so much helpful information and will be in touch when ready!

Jackie has helped us so much with our shelter Yorkie. He had some anxiety after coming from the shelter that began to emerge some months after he came home, creating some difficulties for us. We are experienced Yorkie owners, but he was really throwing us with the anxiety. We tried a local place, but we realized we needed a behaviorist -- not just a standard "sit, stay" trainer -- that stuff is easy for us. Jackie has been excellent. She is tough, disciplined, and a clear communicator. We continue to have her come periodically to assess progress and help us move forward. We are pleased with our investment. She's great.

I’ve only had one session so far and my dog has learned a lot already. Jenna always follows up to see how training and how my dog is doing. Very appreciative !

We are only 1 session in and everything Jackie has taught us is useful! She makes it easy to understand for the humans and for the dogs! We are so lucky to have found her!
