Jamie has been helping us with our 7 year old lab/pit mix who has shown fear aggression towards children in the past. We called them when we were 6 months pregnant. Jamie worked with us during our pregnancy on basic obedience for Jasper to help us when the baby arrived. I was especially grateful that she was there when we made the first introduction between Jasper and my newborn.
I’m so glad that I can call Jamie at the next stage when my baby starts crawling. We have had the baby home for over 2 months now and Jasper has adapted wonderfully. He gives the baby plenty of space but does not seem afraid of her at all. He’s also easier to walk and much better at settling down in his bed on command. Thank you!!!

We can’t thank Jenna enough for the work that she did with our dog and us. She was knowledgeable, compassionate, and really took the time to answer our questions and educate us on how to work better with our dog. Thanks to her we saw massive improvements with our dogs, reactivity, separation issues, and overall anxiety. He is a much happier pup today and we have her to think for a lot of that! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for help.

Five Stars – Amazing Training for Anxious Frenchies!
Jamie at Colonial Dog Training has been incredible in helping my Frenchies, Cooper and Maggie. They both struggle with anxiety, which has led to some aggression between them, and Jamie’s expertise has made a huge difference.
From the start, Jamie provided clear, practical strategies tailored to their needs. We’ve already seen so much progress, and I feel more confident handling their behavior. If you have a dog with anxiety or behavioral challenges, I highly recommend Colonial Dog Training!

Jamie has been an absolute lifesaver!! I found Colonial after adopting Poppy, my 2-year-old poodle/collie mix (lord help me), who was an absolute terror of uncontrolled energy and excitement when I got her. Everything we’ve done with Jamie has worked like a charm!! In 4 short months of working together, Poppy has transformed before my eyes into a well-behaved girl who gets compliments from others around the apartment complex about how good she is. It’s a lot of work, but knowing that it was a flat fee for as much training as we needed what exactly what I needed to put my mind at ease as a new dog owner - I love that I can just work with Jamie now on whatever issues we’re tackling without having to worry about paying more per session. I truly can’t believe the progress we’ve made and cannot recommend Jamie and Colonial enough! Attaching a photo from our last appointment to prove how much we love our training sessions!!

Our dog who has always been stubborn started showing sign of aggression with our newborn. We quickly reached out to Colonial training and they were able to get our first session booked within a week. Not only has Jamie addressed our biggest concern of having the dog and baby peacefully cohabitate together but she has also helped us better control our dog on walks, confronting triggers, and helping our dog relax in the process. She has a great method of using both negative but mostly positive reinforcement to get results and in turn helping us keep up with the training techniques. We are so grateful for her help and have already recommended colonial dog training and Jamie to our friends in similar situations.
