Please do your research on this company before you attempt to use them in my personal opinion speaking from experience, you will probably get the same amount of training from PetSmart for a a better price. read more

We had one meeting with the trainer on Oct 7 and then our lives fell apart when my husband was diagnosed with cancer less than a month later. I received one phone call to see how long we wanted to delay training. We agreed to talk in Dec and then I never heard back. Hence we paid almost $900 for one session. I had hoped they would refund at least 2/3 or half our money but it was the "take the money & run". Very disappointing experience at one of the worst moments of our lives. read more

Please do your research before accepting the Canine Dimensions contract. The people at Canine Dimensions have a great pitch to get you reeled into there program, and it sounds great and doable. However, the time needed to actually train your dog or puppy is more than a session every few weeks. The Canine Dimensions program requires you, the dog owner to dedicate hours everyday to actually train you dog or puppy that will turn out to be a second job for you, the owner. With that said, if you are unable to give the amount of time needed on a daily basis, I would suggest a "board and train," program. So, before you sign the contract, do your research and do some sole searching. Note: Canine Dimensions promises 9 session, but they only give you 8. This itself should be a red flag. read more

My experience working with Jim was excellent. He's incredibly knowledgeable in his line of work. We noticed changes In our dog by the end of our first session. I couldn't be happier. Thanks Jim!! read more

I was very dissatisfied with my experience. I paid $995 and there were only 2 sessions! How is much improvement going to occur in only 2 sessions? The trainer did not seem to take my concerns to heart. My dog has a lot of anxiety with various things and the trainers 'advice' was just to keep her cooped up in the house, don't take her anywhere. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

We brought our then 8 week old Havanese puppy home with us at the end of August 2013. My husband and I both grew up with dogs and thought that we would have no problem adjusting to our new family member. Boy, were we wrong! While our dog had a sweet personality, he was also high energy and very confident. We had no idea what to do with him or how to begin teaching him to be the adult dog that we wanted him to be. We started and ended every day exhausted and overwhelmed. We were very fortunate to find a Canine Dimensions brochure at our vet's office. From my first call with Audi, I felt like I was talking to someone that understood our frustration and could help us get our situation under control. We decided to sign up for the year long Puppy GoodStart program to help get us and our puppy on the right track. We felt immediately comfortable with our trainer Jaci during her first visit to our home and our dog fell in love with her. In fact, he seemed like he was ready to go home with her when she left! She answered all of our questions and taught us how to start training our puppy. She has visited us two additional times since that first trip and we are incredibly grateful for everything that she continues to teach us. We have also been encouraged to participate in the monthly Puppy Swim and Social events which have been a great opportunity for our dog to socialize with other puppies and spend some time in the pool. Our training sessions have taken us from bewildered puppy parents to confident pack leaders. While our dog is still very much a puppy, we can tell that he is on track to become a wonderful adult dog thanks to the guidance we have receive from Canine Dimensions. I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Our experience with Canine Dimensions was extremely disappointing. We paid for the 8-month puppy training program. Prior to paying, I was told we would have training sessions every 2-3 weeks. After we started (and had paid for the entire program), I was told the sessions would be every 4 weeks, some were pushed to 6 weeks. I was also sold on their "master level trainers" but 5 months into the training, our trainer was fired. One of the owners took over our training and we started re-training things that we were taught incorrect the first time. This created a major setback in our training. The Canine Dimensions website advertises as "no pain, no choke collars, no shock collars" but we were instructed to get a martingale collar and then a Starmark collar (plastic prong collar). I wish I knew more about the effects of different training methods going into this. The tactics used ended up making my pup even more fearful. Now I am working with a positive reinforcement, R+ trainer and trying to get my pup on track. We had setbacks due to having to re-train the things we were taught incorrectly by the first trainer. I was assured that more time would be added to make sure we were on track but no time was added on to our program. Instead, I felt like they just wanted to get us off their books. Again, I was assured that we would get extra help due to the retraining that was needed. When scheduling a session, I was informed that it would be our last one. I was shocked as we were nowhere near done with the training I was sold on. One of the owners assured me that we could continue if we felt it was needed. Then, at the session, I was told it would be the last one. No discussion, just done. I am very disappointed and I would not recommend Canine Dimensions training. read more

Poorly run. They may be good, but I wouldn't know. After being cancelled on multiple times the day of the appointments. I went elsewhere. Beware. read more

Jaci is a godsend. I could rave about her forever. We got a goldendoodle puppy over the summer and I wanted to make sure she was trained right. I have three young kids and I don't need more chaos. I was willing to put in allll the work to have a well trained dog but needed someone to tell me the right things to do. Jaci is so helpful and knowledgeable in her training. I love that she comes to our home, both because it's easier for our family but also because I think it helps our dog retain information if she's learning it in her home environment. I also really love that the training is personalized to our dog, family, and lifestyle. For instance, our doodle is 50 lbs and my four year old weighs 24 lbs. Jaci helped us work with my daughter and the dog so that my daughter was giving commands and the dog would understand that even though my daughter is smaller, she is above the dog in the pecking order of our family pack. Our dog learned it was her job to watch herself around our daughter so she wouldn't bump her and accidentally knock her down. I appreciate that Jaci explains the "dog psychology" to us because then the behaviors and training make so much sense! Another thing I love is that I can text or call Jaci anytime I have questions or something pops up in between our sessions. She is an amazing resource. We haven't completed the training yet (our puppy is now 8 months), but we get compliments all the time on how calm and well behaved she is. All our training and work with Jaci is really paying off. I've recommended Jaci to everyone I know and several friends have started using her as well. It is worth every single penny! read more

Canine Dimentions is truly a lifesaver! Jaci has worked so faithfully at helping us learn how to work with our new puppy. After the first session our puppy was a totally different dog. I felt there was actually a light at the end of the puppy tunnel! At 13 weeks and with only 2 training sessions so far, our pup has learned most of the basic commands and we humans are learning how to best work with our pup. With a 5 and 9yr old as part of our pack, I definitely have peace with Jaci's support. It is completely worth the investment! read more

I contacted Canine Dimensions for the puppy pack. I had a ~3 month old rottweiler puppy with the following problem behaviors: *biting * aggression at the presentation of nail clippers * excessive barking * Around age ~7 months she developed extreme leash aggression I wasn't pleased with the first two trainers but after being contacted by Audi, with a long discussion, I decided to give Canine Dimensions another try. They sent Jaki for an additional few sessions free of charge. JAKI IS AMAZING! Jaki was able to explain certain behaviors in a straight forward, yet tactful manner. Jaki had the personable nature that the first trainer had, but the skills that the second trainer had (and more). We were her last session so she stayed late to further address issues. I have homework and we will be meeting again in 2 weeks. Already though, I see changes in my rottie's behavior (likely because my behaviors have changed). I am so happy I gave them another chance! I was extremely apprehensive in their positive reinforcement approach without punishing stimuli (especially in aggression instances) but wow, it seems to actually work! As Jaki more eloquently explained, the leash is not meant to be a punishing stimulus but rather a redirection "look at me to lead you". I'm no longer using a heavy duty pinch collar, but a smaller one. No more hard pulls with all my might, now small rapid taps. It's working! Side Note: I understand the first trainer referenced is no longer with the company. The second trainer referenced, doesn't usually get that feedback; it was an off session. With that being said, yes "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" with Audi and Jaki on the Canine Dimensions team. read more

We had an extremely disappointing experience. Our original trainer flaked halfway through, and either quit or got fired. Our puppy shows fear and aggression so we were desperate to work through that which was why we made such a large financial commitment. The new trainer had a COMPLETELY different approach and basically said our first trainer had done all sorts of things wrong. So we had 1/2 our time with a new trainer and made virtually no progress due to the drastic change in practices. The office assured me that we would have extra support after losing the first trainer halfway through, and then the new trainer just informed me that it was our last session with no discussion about extending due to their first trainers failure. I would very much avoid this canine dimensions. It is difficult to schedule, and once they take your money they literally don't care. read more

We brought a new puppy (Ruby) into our home in December 2015 and wanted to find a partner that would help us with dog training (and train ourselves)! We were introduced to Jaci, and our experience has been nothing but phenomenal. Jaci's advice is practical and easy to absorb. Ruby is still a long ways away from being the "perfect dog," but in the short time that we've applied Jaci's techniques and coaching we've seen wonderful results. I'd definitely recommend Canine Dimensions to others. read more

Canine Dimensions Home Dog Training - A well trained Ruby...thanks to Jaci's immense help. - Pet Training Near Me

I'm disheartened to write this review and had such high hopes based on the recommendation from my vet and the glowing reviews. I can't speak for the training itself but can attest to the scheduling experience. We scheduled a new puppy in-home training session for Friday, Jan 22. The trainer assigned was Brendan Cox (the owner Audi's husband). First, let me point out the lack of kindness. I texted him the night before telling him how excited we were for training and how badly we needed it. Rather than acknowledging the message by responding at all, he read the message and did not reply. I texted him the morning of training to confirm we were still scheduled and he finally replied to say yes. Not even an hour after his confirmation text, I received a call from the owner stating training will be canceled due to a COVID scare. I was offered a virtual session, which I declined. I can't justify paying almost $1000 for training done over the internet especially with all of the information available online for FREE. I emailed Audi back and she then replied training is usually done virtually any way and will be that way for the next 3-6 months. This should have been fully explained during the scheduling call. I wrote back to her once more to explain we have no interest in virtual training to which she simply replied: "ok." Based on the communication and scheduling alone, I would not recommend Canine Dimensions and will be sharing this experience with my vet so other people will not be sent here. read more

I was extremely surprised and frustrated when our rescue dog suddenly started to become aggressive with other dogs. I looked online and Canine Dimensions was one of the first places that popped up regarding training aggressive dogs. I called Canine Dimensions and right away, Audi assured me that the trainer would tell me if my dog was not trainable. On the contrary, Brendan came over and explained to us that our dog did not see my husband and I as dominant and he thought he owned us and the house. We were assured that with each training session, we would eventually be able to see how our dog would react with other dogs that Brendan would bring or that we would go to. The lessons were simple, teach the dog to sit, stay, and lay down by giving treats, taking them away, etc.....for three consecutive sessions. On the fourth, I finally broached the subject of adding a dog into the mix like we had discussed when we first signed up. I was then told that our dog would most likely never be able to be around other dogs. However, I could feel free to contact a friend who had a dog and Brendan would come out and see how they would do together. This completely conflicted with what we were told in the beginning, but I figured I would bring it up in the next session. That was the last thing I was told. I wasn't told to contact the office to set up another session with Brendan nor was I given a phone call by Audi to set up another appointment. I thought we paid for six months of training, or at least the astronomical price would imply that. Four training sessions in and being no closer to potentially having other dogs around, I decided to seek another trainer and just eat the money I wasted. Very disappointing experience especially since we paid so much for it. On the bright side, and about $900 cheaper, we found a trainer at the humane society that immediately brought dogs in with our dog and showed us how to discipline and train him and to how to get him to listen to "no." He's at day care playing with other dogs right now...so much for never having him around other dogs again! read more

We got a mix breed puppy at an animal shelter. After a few weeks our cute little puppy started getting really aggressive and nippy with us. He also had health issues and became very difficult for our Vet to deal with. Our Vet recommended CD and we're happy with the results. Jaci did a great job explaining his behavior and how to deal with it as well as work on the underlying issues. She also taught us so much about specific training for our puppy and we're amazed how well these methods work and the progress we are making. The spacing of the sessions worked very well for us and Jaci was always available when we called. read more

I would urge anyone that is considering Canine Dimensions to think twice! I completely agree with what Kd L. has written and the two reviews that are *not recommended* I could write page after page about our bad experiences with Audi and Brandon.....I will have to continue this review at a later time when I can fully explain! Don't get taken by the high pressure sales pitch Audi will try to give you!! read more

Canine Dimensions Denver has been a massive help. I had a high drive boxer who was completely controlling my home. I could not walk her outside and she was constantly whining in the house. With the help of canine dimensions, I have gained knowledge of pack structure and how my dog sees things. The improvement has been amazing. I can now walk her with no issues, and she is much more enjoyable in the house :) thank you!!! read more

Canine Dimensions Home Dog Training - My boxer Gigi - Pet Training Near Me

My dog developed a nose phobia (mainly airplanes flying over and thunder) and was so anxious. He was hiding all day. I was so worried about him and trying desperately to sort out which trainers would be most helpful with this. In interviewing this company by phone it was eluded to that these conditions are very hard to treat and that I may need to move or give away my dog. The lady on the phone seemed shocked that this would make me cry. This alone is concerning, as an owner your already so stressed about not being able to help your dog that this type of discussion is overwhelming. I could careless about this company. Im posting this so no one else goes through this. It is totally treatable, any reputable behaviorist will tell you it is, my dog is medicated and begining training. Not even a week later and he's doing so much better thanks to the behavior docs at the Animal Care Center in Castle Pines. My advice is skip this company and go here. The biggest complaint i have with them is no one called to follow up after making me cry. I would think a good business owner would have a trainer call and help with the distress and anxiety they caused. Since I never heard from anyone, my assumption is this is part of their sales gimmick, they make you think your going to lose your pet or home so you panic and hand over your wallet. read more

Unfortunately my experience was not as positive as these here. The trainer I got was good for the first few sessions and then he just disappeared and never came back. Never even emailed me or told me why he was not coming back! Be careful. This training is very expensive and they want the money up front! read more

Canine Dimensions has changed the way that I interact with my dogs and I can't thank them enough! To give a bit of background, we have 2 dogs that are brothers from the same litter. Over the past 2 years we have seen an increase in aggression from one of them and it has even escalated where he directs it towards us (his owners) - think biting, growling, etc. Within the past 6 months, we finally decided to take control back. We investigated into two aspects, physical and behavioral. We started with physical.. we found out that our dog has severe arthritis at only 3 yrs old. We needed some serious help with managing his physical pain and got that tackled. Now onto the behavioral, I didn't know where to turn and I knew not every trainer could help. I was sometimes scared of my dog and never sure when he would turn on me or our other dog. Our dogs have gone through training since they were puppies but I needed something more - enter Canine Dimensions. Brendan was able to come into my home on our very first visit and identify immediately our dog wasn't aggressive but extremely fearful. He opened our eyes to our dog's behavior and what it meant - eye opening doesn't even cut explaining how this changed my life. I realized quickly all those times I am screaming at my dog for misbehaving or lashing out was getting me NOWHERE. Instead Brendan taught us to how to be the leaders of our house and how to instill structure. Within 2 days, my "aggressive" dog has done a complete 180! Our "aggressive" dog has embraced the structure and hasn't lashed out but instead is the dog that I knew he could be. He love to work on commands and enjoys the time I spend training him. We also learned that our other dog is the one that actually thinks he is dominate and we need to really focus our efforts on him to change his behavior. Just shows how little I actually knew about my dogs and how my behavior impacts the overall state. Overall, I know I have a long road ahead of me but I know with Brendan and Canine Dimensions, I can do this! I finally have hope and that is what I needed most, some hope and direction on how to tackle this! read more

We have a great, very mellow, female 6 yr old sheltie/lab mix and earlier this year decided to add a new dog to our family. We adopted a male 2 month old aussie mix from a shelter and learned pretty quickly that the basic 5 weeks of Petsmart training wasn't going to be enough. We love him dearly but boy is he ALL puppy: very rambunctious and highly distracted. And now with 2 dogs we had a "pack" and quickly found them ruling the house. We did our research and decided to contract with Canine Dimensions. After a very lengthy conversation designed to ensure we picked the right training package, and were matched to the right trainer, we made a training appointment with Jaci Turner. We are almost at the end of our puppy training program and are so happy we picked Canine Dimensions, and Jaci! Jaci is not only knowledgeable about dog behavior and training, but she has such a good rapport with the dogs, and you, that she makes training fun. She has also been available to answer questions in between training sessions so you can continue your training "homework" properly. Our puppy is now 11 months old and while we still need to continue our training on our own, we love the progress we've made (with both dogs) in a relatively short time. We now rule the house, not the dogs! We highly recommend both Canine Dimensions and Jaci. read more

I'd give Canine Dimension six stars if I could. Mike was able to find a solution for my rescue dog's excessive barking within five minutes of meeting and assessing him where two other trainers and a pet behaviorist had failed. My dog and I both thank you! read more

Hello! We just finished our program through canine dimensions with our trainer Jaci for our rescued German Shepard. Let's just say our Lola has been through a lot and has a lot of residual issues and anxiety from her early beginnings, plus she's a working dog breed, who's highly energetic and intelligent. We've gone to multiple trainers in the past and she definitely knows her commands, but she has issues with biting, nervousness to the point of pacing around the house, over-protective behavior of me on leash, and highly reactive to other dogs, cyclists and any other sudden stimuli. Jaci's and canine dimensions' style of training made complete sense to me. They train you to speak the language of dogs and understand their behavior. From working with horses, I understand how important it is to understand the way an animal behaves to try to engage with it and make positive strides. Jaci hands down understands dogs and in every situation, she knew how Lola was feeling and what her body language meant, and it made sense to me. Most of all, Lola was starting to respond. At first Lola didn't understand why the roles were changing and resisted, but with persistence and consistency, I became the alpha in the pack. This is so astonishing and unbelievably hard to do because dogs learn deference as a puppy and Lola is a 3 year old. I could not have done this alone without Jaci. Now we see how Lola can be part of our family, instead of being the third family to return Lola to the rescue. Jaci and canine dimensions will truly help you and your dog with any challenges you're facing, or if there's nothing really major, but want to polish up on skills and learn social interactions better with other dogs and in public places. After taking this program, I can observe other people walking their dogs and how in most cases, the dog runs the show and the person just has a false sense that they do. I know this sounds harsh, but it's true. Please take advantage of the amazing program canine dimensions has to offer!!! Here's to happy dogs and their families!! read more

Today we finished our last session with Canine Dimensions, and I cannot say enough about this program and the trainers and owners, Brendan and Audi Cox . We adopted a malinois mix from the Humane Society of Boulder as a puppy and she right away showed her love and energy. She was so friendly around other dogs I never worried about her. That all changed when she was about 15 months old. She was off-leash (yes,I learned my lesson) and she aggressively jumped another dog. Thankfully, I got to her in time. Both dogs were okay (and I had some serious apologizing to do to my neighbors). After that, she just progressively showed signs of reactivity towards other dogs on walks. I was worried sick. What happened to our sweet, friendly dog? I sought the help of several trainers, even taking her to the Humane Society classes. None of them seemed right. Clickers didn't work, the Humane Society discouraged so many techniques that were working for Hanna, the shock collar seemed a bit much (but I did seriously considered it) and I was getting worried about her liability if I continued to deny her reactivity towards dogs on walks. I called and spoke to many trainers listed in our community. One trainer flat out told me that her breed deemed her aggressive and not fit to bit in a family like ours. Our best bet was to rehome her with a family who could train her breed or put her down. O.o I was in tears. Here we are, trying to do right by this dog and I am told that I was incapable as her owner. By the time I got to Canine Dimensions and talked to Audi I was a mess. Audi was so supportive and empathetic and totally willing to work with our Hanna-pup. She assured me she was not a lost cause. I will admit the price of the training held me back, and it took me another month and another incident (Hanna bolted out the open front door while I was carrying in groceries to jump two perfectly nice dogs. No harm to any dogs, but again it shook me up) to finally call and book an appointment with Canine Dimensions. Brendan Cox was our trainer and from the first meeting I knew this was the right fit. So much so, that we signed up for the full training possible! And it was worth every single penny. I just wish we had thought to get her trained as a puppy instead of waiting for issues to happen. Better late, than never! If you are looking for a trainer that really KNOWS dogs and how to best work with their human owners with kindness and positive encouragement, then you want to call Canine Dimensions today. Their program makes sense, and it works! You have to put in the time and effort, but the payoff is worth it. There are many techniques that Brendan showed us that worked the moment he showed us. And there are others that may take time depending on your dog. Your dog will be so much happier, and your family too. Heck, in our case, the whole Neighborhood is happier with a well trained dog! I cannot thank Canine Dimension enough. Hanna thanks you too! read more

Our trainer is Jaci. She is truly the dog whisperer. We love how in control and structured our training sessions are with her. We always make progress with our puppy in our sessions. Jaci can identify mistakes we are making as pack leaders, and help us remedy and develop proper control in a very clear and humorous way. The entire organization is first class and we recommend them to every dog owner we meet! read more

I'm with Kd L. with the dissatisfaction with Canine Dimensions. I was also working with them to address the issues with my rescue dogs. I was assured that they had great benefits and worked well with rescues. . . .800.00 loss later I only received 2 in home sessions where nothing was really done "with my dog" I was told to read a book and work with them on their training. . . .which of course we were doing until my dog broke her leg. Per vet instructions she wasn't to move for several weeks, which just led to a delay and when I did contact them, which by the way let me say they don't ever follow up with training session, they leave your home and that's all you know. So also as a business you'd think they'd follow up with their "CLIENTS" - back to where I was, when I contacted them I was told I've now expired in my sessions - so I was basically robbed of my money for training I never received and little to no concern that my dog was out of commission due to an injury and no option to restart my training - which was paid for in full (cash) - Lesson learned. I received more attention from PetSmart for 100.00. Then I did with Canine Dimensions for 800.00. read more

I felt like it is way overpriced for what you get. A lot of it is self taught with a workbook. It was difficult getting the trainer out here because it is a distance, but she told me it was within their radius for business. She also was slightly rude. We had to pay upfront for her to even come out-the whole $1000. Yes, 1000. Wasted money. We were having difficulty assimilating a dog we had rescued from the shelter. We were desperate and I think that was taken into consideration. Definitely not a positive experience. You get 3 at home appointments. I forfeited the last appointment because I didn't feel it was helping us. Our trainer was located in Atlanta, Ga. There are trainers throughout the U.S. who are with the parent company Canine Dimensions in home dog raining as the link and website will inform you. I spoke with the owner who gave me the name of another trainer, but offered me no other options. His name is Phil Guida and owns Canine Dimensions. ( which has trainers in other states-just to be clear) read more

I am totally dissatisfied with the services I received from Canine Dimensions. We were told that they specialized in working with rescue dogs. Out of the four training sessions we signed up for over a four month period, we only had one 1-1/2 hour session with the trainer (were told it would be 2 hours). She basically reviewed the book and spent more time on the book than she did with the dog. We had separation anxiety issues with the dog and I called them for help. They did not return my calls and when Audi did talk to me, she was very short, rude and unprofessional. I got so much help from the humane society and I thank God that the shelter and their vet clinic saved Marshall. The shelter called me every day to check on how Marshall was doing and even offered a free training session which we will be starting soon. Now Marshall is doing great thanks to the efforts of the staff of the Longmont Humane Society and none of this is because of anything that Canine Dimensions did. Everything that Canine Dimensions (Audi) had told me was a lie. She promised to refund part of the first half of the $645 if I wanted to stop the training, and when I decided to do that, the story changed and she was charging me for every minute on the phone ... Also, Audi told me that I had the best trainer who was going to school to become a vet ~ trainer told me that she was interested in animal behavior. I would not recommend Canine Dimensions to my worst enemy. And now they are starting a new business ~ better try to hold on to this one read more

Jaci is great as our trainer! Very encouraging on the things we are doing right and very helpful on the things that we are struggling with! Our pug is very obstinate and knows what our weaknesses are. Jaci reminded us that we just need to wait her out and not to get frustrated! Simple but a saving grace!! It is also a plus that the training is in your home and that you work up to the many levels of training by adding commands as you go. I feel that this training is then sinking in for our pug and as she matures she is gaining the necessary "dog skills" to be a good dog. The homework workbook is also a great resource to help bring back focus to our training. It is very applicable to our lives and is everything we would want for our dog. I highly recommend Jaci and I look forward to the next couple of months working with her. Audi is also great to work with at the office and I highly recommend this company. I know it was the right investment and our little pug will be better for it!! Jaci is a lifesaver! read more
