About Cold Nose Companions Dog Training
Approach
Cold Nose Companions is a positive-reinforcement dog-training business in Chardon, Ohio, with the tagline "Positive Methods. Positive Results." The focus is family dogs, and the messaging is empathetic toward overwhelmed owners dealing with jumping, barking, leash-pulling, or a newly adopted shelter dog. They emphasize that effective training can be joyful and fun, and they explicitly welcome dogs of all ages and breeds, including dogs with disabilities.
Programs
The lineup includes a range of group training classes from beginner to advanced, private training (held at their Chardon center or in your home within roughly 20 miles), and a dedicated Chill! program for reactive dogs that react loudly to other dogs or strangers on walks. Other listed goals include polite manners, controlling lunging and barking, puppy foundations, therapy-dog preparation, and nose work. They also host open floor-time events. This is a strong fit for owners who specifically want force-free, reward-based methods and value structured group classes plus targeted help for reactivity.

Christine’s expertise, both in canine behavior broadly and in understanding this breed specifically, has been invaluable. She has helped me better understand how to appropriately teach new behaviors and thoughtfully correct unwanted ones using clear, consistent methods. Just as importantly, she has shown remarkable patience with the “human” at the other end of the leash as I learn and apply new behavior modification techniques.
I am already seeing measurable improvement in how my dog responds and in the quality of our interactions. The structured guidance, combined with Cold Nose’s open floor time, has provided a safe and constructive outlet for my dog to release energy while reinforcing positive behaviors.
I cannot speak highly enough of Christine’s training approach. Her commitment to positive reinforcement and her ability to educate owners alongside their dogs produce meaningful, lasting results. I would confidently recommend Cold Nose to any dog owner who wants to build a strong, respectful, and well-trained partnership with their dog.
