Testimonials
“Working with Colleen has changed mine and my pups life. Her holistic approach to understanding each of my dogs individual needs, personalities, background, triggers, and so much more allows her to give specifies advice and techniques for each pet. Aside from simple commands – focused training, Colleen also provides aromatherapy support for each of my dogs which has helped greatly. I was skeptical at first of the ability for the oil blends to help my dogs behavior, but the results truly blew me away and I cannot deny their effectiveness… I truly cannot recommend working with Colleen enough.”
– Alexandra, mom of Chag & Pepper
“My new pup (5 months) just finished Colleen’s Puppy Obedience course, and we could not be happier. It was a great experience for my little pup and all of her puppy classmates – the perfect balance of socialization and training… I highly recommend her to anyone looking for classes or training for their dog.”
– Parent of German Shepherd pup
“Dog Tranquility and it’s owner Colleen Dermott have truly been life savers for our family… Within only a couple of sessions Colleen had our dogs starting to peacefully interact and over time they have now become good friends… I highly recommend Dog Tranquility.”

About the Trainer
Dog Tranquility LLC, led by Colleen, is a dog training and holistic wellness business that offers relationship-based, force-free training focused on the whole dog—emotionally, physically, and energetically. Unlike traditional trainers who use dominance or punishment, Colleen emphasizes compassionate leadership, trust, and understanding of canine behavior as communication. She provides personalized private coaching, a Dog Trainer Hotline for quick guidance, and holistic care services including aromatherapy, Reiki, low-light laser therapy, and nutritional advice to address anxiety, reactivity, chronic pain, trauma, and aging. Her approach integrates behavior modification with natural healing modalities to treat root causes rather than symptoms. She also offers group classes for puppies and supports dogs through life transitions like adoption, grief, or environmental changes. Colleen’s work extends beyond training into wellness, with a shop offering custom essential oil blends for calming, pain relief, and digestive support. Her services are designed for dog owners seeking deeper connection and long-term change, not just obedience.
Colleen has over 15 years of experience and is certified as a dog trainer, aromatherapist, and energy-based wellness practitioner. She serves clients in the DMV area (DC, Maryland, Virginia) and is recognized as the 2022 Best Pet Care Provider. Her clients include puppy owners, rescue guardians, senior dog caretakers, and those dealing with complex behavioral or health issues. She does not offer boarding, grooming, or walking services, but her holistic care and training are tailored to support dogs with medical, emotional, or environmental challenges.
All services begin with a free, no-pressure consultation to assess fit and needs. Her methodology avoids corrections, pinch collars, e-collars, or dominance-based tools, focusing instead on positive reinforcement, environmental management, and natural wellness.
She also maintains a blog and online shop for educational content and holistic products, reinforcing her mission of holistic canine well-being.
