Colonial Dog Training

Colonial Dog Training is a private dog trainer in Boston that works mainly in the home and then moves training out to the neighborhood. Its programs cover puppy training, obedience, leash pulling, reactivity and aggression, separation anxiety, barking, off-leash reliability, and service dog foundations. Tom Porier, the owner, has more than 13 years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, and the company was founded in 2012.

Sessions are by appointment on weekdays, weeknights, and weekends, and owners are trained alongside their dogs. Training starts at home, then continues in parks and on busy sidewalks. The team serves Boston and nearby communities such as Cambridge, Brookline, Somerville, and Newton, along with the wider Greater Boston area. The office keeps weekday hours, and consultations can be booked through the website.
