About Colby Altman
Colby believes training is one of the most fulfilling and rewarding experiences a person can share with their dog. He feels fortunate to do work that creates a meaningful impact, not only on the dog, but also on the family and lifestyle that dog is part of. For Colby, the best training is the kind that strengthens the bond and makes life smoother and more enjoyable for everyone at home.
He approaches each dog as an individual. Some dogs need more guidance, others need more encouragement, and many need a balance of both. Colby’s focus is to meet the dog where they are, then help them grow into a calmer, more confident companion through consistent, practical training.
What Colby Loves Training Most

Colby’s Training Approach
Colby keeps training realistic and supportive, with an emphasis on helping each dog learn in the way that works best for them. He focuses on steady progress, clear communication, and building confidence, because lasting results come from understanding the dog, not rushing the process.
Training Tip From Colby: Dogs are just like people. We all learn and experience life differently, and some of us need guidance or encouragement in different ways.
