My goal is to assist dog owners in the complete care and training of their canine family members. I am a proponent of positive reinforcement. Additionally, since each dog is unique, I remain open to all schedules of reinforcement and apply any psychological approach that I deem most appropriate for each individual dog. My training regimen is geared towards teaching dog owners proper, consistent leadership/guardianship over their dogs through the promotion of relationship building. I am also well versed in canine nutrition and can recommend a diet that best suits your dog based on age, size and breed. Nutrition and health play a very important part in a dog's behavior. Complete canine care is what clients can expect from me.

Canine Enrichment Program for 501(c)(3) Organizations
Jeff & his wife, Diana, provide ultra low cost boarding and training for animal rescues and eligible shelters. This enrichment program is not offered to the general public. We are not a kennel or boarding facility. We provide this service out of our home and space is limited. Below is a brief recap of our program. For more information about Jeff & Diana's Program, please email jcoltenback@gmail.com.
"Canine Enrichment Program for 501(c)(3) Rescues
Thank you for your interest in allowing Jeff & Diana Coltenback to provide care your animals. Jeff and/or Diane Coltenback provide pet boarding and/or training for shelter and rescue dogs at a discounted rate. The following are the criteria for placement for dogs with us. But first a little bit about our environment. We foster/board dogs in our home. We have an attached garage where we have four to five kennels set up for the dogs. Therefore, any dog coming into our home must crate-able. The garage leads directly into our large fenced yard. We also have a 10 foot by 16 foot climate controlled barn (brand new) that can provide foster or boarding space for additional animals. We also have a path throughout our 2.5 acres of property where we take the dogs for a stroll. Our dead end, cul de sac also offers a one mile loop where we can safely and privately walk the dogs. And, we offer pack walks for the local community here and often bring select foster/training dogs on pack walks – provided they are behaviorally equipped to handle such a social situation. Although the dogs in our care are kenneled they get out in the yard and/or walked 5-7 times a day starting around 7am with the last biological relief being around 10pm. We provide soothing music and the use of essential oils to optimize their mental state. We provide daily training and structure. Daily training is provided by Jeff and/or Diana Coltenback. Once they reach a level of stability, we expose them to the interior of our home (when possible) to ensure they can acclimate to domestic life.
Training consists of the use of all schedules of reinforcement and protocols, depending on the needs and capacity of each dog to respond to certain applications. I may use training tools [for walking] like gentle leaders, halti, starmark collars, martingales, no-pull harnesses, loop leads, etc (I do not use choke chains). I also provide Reiki treatments to all dogs in our care to further assist them in achieving behavioral balance. We also always have dogs here that can assist us in socializing foster dogs around other animals. As you know, some dogs may never like other dogs. But, it is our belief that they must at least be able to coexist in the presence of other animals. We provide you with updates regularly, including an initial intake video, recurring progress video and any ongoing info you require.....
Below is a chart that illustrates the difference between boarding-only and board and train. The prices below are for 501 non-profit organizations only. We do NOT offer this service to the general public
