We were truly at our wits' end with our dog Ollivander (aka Ollie). He struggled with severe separation anxiety and couldn’t even go on a car ride without barking, howling, and completely melting down. Walks were unpredictable and stressful—for all of us. After trying 2–4 other trainers and even working with a behavioral vet, we had seen very little progress. In fact, his anxiety only seemed to be getting worse.
Enter Colton from Corsetti K9. His training was an absolute game changer.
We decided to enroll Ollie in the board-and-train program, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Colton brought Ollie into his home and treated him like one of his own dogs. From day one, he took the time to truly listen to our concerns, answer our many questions, and make us feel supported through the process.
What really sets Colton apart is not just his skill as a trainer, but his ongoing support. Even after the training program, he continues to be a resource for us—whether it’s boarding, training refreshers, or setbacks. That kind of dedication is rare and incredibly appreciated.
While Ollie’s anxiety isn’t completely gone (and we know it may never be fully behind us), the progress we’ve made is significant. We now have the tools and techniques to help him navigate the world more calmly. Just last week, we took him for a car ride, and we were actually able to manage his anxiety—something we never thought possible before.
Colton’s patience, expertise, and compassion have made a world of difference not only for Ollie, but for us as dog owners. We are even considering getting help for our Corgi, Luna, based on the amazing experience we’ve had.
I can say without any hesitation that I highly recommend Corsetti K9 and Colton for any and all dog training needs. He gave us hope when we thought we were out of options.
