Canine Companion Consulting is a dog training business based in Fort Collins, Colorado, founded in 2007 by husband-and-wife team Beth and Wayne. They specialize in positive, research-based training methods designed to strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners. They offer private in-person sessions at their training studio or in-home, group classes with a maximum of 6 dogs per session, and remote training via video calls for clients nationwide. Their services include puppy training, leash reactivity, separation anxiety, happy handling for vet and groomer visits, recall, impulse control, agility, and therapy dog preparation. Beth is a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC) through IAABC, a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT), and a Fear Free Professional, with a graduate degree in behavior. Wayne holds a graduate degree in education. They emphasize personalized plans, ongoing support, and real-life results, helping dogs of all ages and backgrounds—including those with trauma, deafness, blindness, or aggression—thrive. They also sell training support products and host seminars and a support group for dog owners.

Their group classes are small, led by two certified trainers, and cover foundational obedience, advanced skills, and specialized topics like agility and therapy dog certification. Remote training allows clients to receive real-time feedback from home. They serve northern Colorado cities including Loveland, Windsor, Greeley, and more, and offer virtual services globally.

They are insured, provide detailed behavior reports, and are known for compassionate, patient, and highly personalized support that extends beyond training sessions, including follow-ups after major life changes like relocation.

They do not offer dog grooming, boarding, walking, or daycare services.

Their approach is exclusively positive and science-based, with no use of corrections, pinch collars, or e-collars.
