Cheyenne Kolodgie
Boarding School Trainer

I have enjoyed being around dogs my whole life. When I first saw Top dog opening in Hillsborough I thought it would be a great place to take my k9 Shadow. I did the group obedience class with Shadow. When she passed that I later certified her in CGC. After doing all that training I realized that I would love to work at Top dog. I started out as a day school training then slowly worked my way up to a boarding school trainer. While at Top Dog I have also been training my two dogs k9 Shadow (Shepherd) and K9 Tyger (Dutch shepherd) for man trailing. While I do love training all the boarding school students my real passion is working with my dogs in man trailing.
