Testimonials
“Rise and Shine produced night and day results with my Annie. The change in her is amazing. No more pulling on the leash and dashing through doors. She listens to the entire family on leash or off. Colton has done amazing things with our girl and we could not be happier. I watched him work with other dogs on some advanced obedience and was amazed at what he can do with a dog. I thought only military and police dogs could do the things I saw. He is amazing and when we get our next dog, this will be the trainer for us. Thank you for all you have done.”
– Chris Simmons
“What a great experience we had with Rise and Shine. Just needed some basic obedience training for a middle aged rescue and they went above and beyond. Would recommend to anyone in the area!”
– Jonah Campbell
“Colton is professional, compassionate, and empathetic. Everything you want in a dog trainer. His level of commitment to his craft is inspirational, and I always feel safe when leave my Ranger with him.”
– Albi Saboni
