Dog Gone Fun! Training & Behavior

What you dont expect! On more levels you expect. Worth a try! Not perfection yet something you won't forget

Colleen is a true master! And so delightful and easy to work with.

Colleen is knowledgeable and dedicated to teaching you how to use positive reinforcement to gain the behaviors you want from your fur baby. She also offers puppy playdates for safe socialization, group and individual training sessions. I'm not sure how good of a student I was but I enjoyed her "beginers" class twice! And my fur baby always had fun. 😁

I have been to several puppy classes with different puppies throughout the area and Colleen provides my favorite curriculum for a puppy and she is very careful not to pass harmful diseases from puppy to puppy. Colleen is a wonderful teacher and provides a wealth of knowledge about dogs. I recommend her to everyone. It's the perfect puppy class for puppy and for human.

My wife and I adopted a mixed breed dog (half pit bull/half lab) about a year ago. The dog was a year old and in bad need of training.Since we got her at a shelter, we didn't know her history. We came across Ariel there and something clicked. So we brought her home with us that day. Since we were new to Ashland, we asked several friends to recommend a dog training service. All three said "Colleen Shanahan is the best" and we called her and enrolled Ariel in an Obedience Training program at Colleen's dog training business, called "Dog Gone Fun." Four weeks of group sessions and Ariel was on her way to being a well-trained puppy. But she still needed some work as she's very high-spirited and we think she had a bad history before she was taken to the pound, so Colleen did some private lessons with Ariel and us. After a couple of these private training sessions, Ariel emerged as the perfect dog! All of our friends and relatives love her. She great around children, and we couldn't be happier! Collen is a true expert at training your pet dog, making it possible to save a dog through adoption, which makes my wife and I feel even better. I highly recommend Colleen Shanahan and Dog Gone Fun.
