Holly Lewis, a lifelong dog lover, started Cold Nose Canine in 2011. Her journey began with her own dog, Hershey, who exhibited reactivity towards other dogs. This prompted Holly to delve into dog training and behavior, eventually leading her to leave her previous career and pursue her passion for teaching dogs and their humans. She has over 2000 happy clients since 2011 in metro Milwaukee.
Training Philosophy
Holly Lewis believes in positive reinforcement training methods, emphasizing the use of food, toys, touch, and praise to create a positive learning experience for both dogs and their owners. She believes in building a loving and trusting relationship between dogs and their humans, making training a fun and enjoyable experience.
