THIS BUSINESS IS MONEY HUNGRY AND HAS NO REGARDS TO THE ACTUAL WELL BEING OF ANIMALS. DO NOT TAKE YOUR AGGRESSIVE DOG TO THIS PROGRAM, THIS BUSINES IS NOT EQUIPPED TO WORK WITH WORKING BREED DOGS OR AGGRESSIVE DOGS. I truly feel I need to warn any potential consumer with an aggressive or working breed, that Sit Means Sit should never train their dog. I took my aggressive dog to this training program for a board and train and I explained that my dog has reactivity issues and had recently bit someone. Sarah ensured me that they had work with these types of dogs before and that this program would help us to walk him on a leash. The program mentality is that the e-collar was a tap on the shoulder and that the dog had to make the decision to do the command. After talking with several dog behavioral experts, with a working dog with aggressive tendencies, they need to be trained with the mentality that the owner is in charge and making the decisions, for the dog to follow lead. Additionally, when I started taking him to group classes, Canyon would lunge at all the participants. I asked Sarah multiple times to have 1:1 sessions and she continued to make me go to highly stressful group sessions. For the amount of money I paid, that shouldn't have been the response. I have since realized that they no longer do group trainings as they found them ineffective. As such the training program did not work for Canyon, and I am extremely disappointed because I invested a lot of money. I am going to have to pay for new training, and have asked for a refund to help pay for the training to get my dog the help he deserves, otherwise he would need to be put down. The owner refused my request, even though the program didn't work. Which goes to show you that they are driven by money and not the well being of the dog.

They listened to our worries and were extremely communicative. The daycare is lax on pickup and drop off which is nice. When boarding you get a full report card. K-9 Corral does not charge extra for giving dogs their medication while boarding and the play cost is factored in to the cost of boarding (other places in town charge extra for playtime when boarding and charge for giving medication as well). Overall we love them and are very happy with our experiences there.

He seems to have developed "stranger danger" as an adult, very suddenly and we've been beside ourselves with worry. We just want Flash to be happy, but it's clear that visitors frighten him now. Jackie has helped us create daily habits and visitor habits that make Flash feel safer and therefore happier. We still have some work to do, but we're learning to deal with his issues with positive reinforcement. It's a lot of work, but so worth it. We're learning training tools that we'll continue to use with all our pets for the rest of our lives! Because, really, we (the humans) are the ones who need training, right? We are working on getting to the place where we can have visitors and not have to worry about their or Flash's safety, but we are making worlds of progress in the meantime!

The Lisa Rockland Method is the way to go! I have a one year old, intact male Weimaraner. I was…read morestruggling with training him to be calm and act appropriately when people would enter the house. He jumped, ran circles around them, became extremely hyper, and barked aggressively (even at people that live in the house with us). In addition to that, he was a little skittish in general and is still very nervous around other dogs. Lisa came to my home and the training began immediately. She was only there for an hour, but Lisa is so intuitive to dogs' individual personalities that the insight she provided gave me the tools I needed to correct the behaviors. There are a lot of opinions and dog trainers out there; using other methods, training took me weeks, and months to even see a slight change in the behaviors I was trying to correct. It has only been a few days since Lisa came for training, but his behavior and demeanor has drastically improved, and he is actually responding to what I teaching him! I am looking forward to continuing my training with Lisa in her Behavior 101 class to improve his approach to other dogs, and my ability to be an effective and responsible dog owner. Lisa has given me the confidence and the tools to be the best dog owner I can be. She is the ONLY dog trainer I would recommend, and the only one I will use in the future. Thanks, Lisa!

At the end of January my boyfriend and I decided to adopt a 9 month old golden retriever mix from our local shelter. After bringing him home, we decided we wanted to find a trainer to help us teach him much more then just sit and stay because we want him to be able to come with us all over. We looked around Loveland and Fort Collins for trainers, and eventually decided that having an in-home trainer would be the best route for us, and that's what led us to Carol. From the very first lesson our dog has shown amazing improvement, and she is always helpful and eager to provide any tips or information she can. We went from having a crazy hyper puppy, who barked and jumped up constantly, to a calm, well mannered, sweet boy who listens to us and respects us. I look forward to every lesson because I know my dog and I are going to learn so much. If you are looking for a trainer I would HIGHLY recommend her and the Bark Busters method, it's worth every penny and more.

I had Patty come out within the first week and the experience was very enlightening and rewarding. It's not just our dogs who need training, but we as owners need training as well. Patty uses positive reinforcement and maintains a calm demeanor (just like Cesar says - "calm and assertive"). All pet owners owe it to themselves and especially their dogs to enlist in training and the best way to go is one-on-one personalized training. I would definitely recommend Paw and Order.

I have used Patty a few times for my dog(s). I first called on her to help me train a ~1 year old…read moreSaint Bernard foster who was almost surrendered because the owners didn't want to take the time to train this beautifully sweet Saint. She was very stubborn and I disagreed with my mom's preferred method of training using "corrections". And the training I learned/used for my dog wasnt working for Mia since she was so stubborn and my dog was/is so eager to please so quickly picked up training. So Patty came over and gave me a hand and after an hour and half session, Mia was learning how to sit on command. Patty showed me some tips and such on how to get Mia to pay attention and make the sessions "fun" for Mia's breed and to get her attention and motivation up. Mia was then quickly trainable and in the 30 days we were given to get the dog trained, Mia was sitting on her own, doing down stays, and her recall was improving greatly! I have also called Patty for some behavior tests/issues my 2 year old border collie/malinois mix was doing for me. Honey likes to bark randomly and when people come by or simply walk by the house, so called Patty to help me with trying to get Honey to settle down a bit in that regard. I'll probably call her back to help some more once I get into another place without as many dogs and different rules regarding barking. She helped me see that I needed to give honey another distraction when I expected guests so as to help with Honey's anxiety levels which also contribute to her cause in barking. She even let Honey keep the puzzle ball she used to help reward/distract honey while we worked with her. I have also called Patty to help me with Honey's recall. She is one of those dogs where you give her that one little inch, and she will take a foot. :) so have to stay on top of her. Honey is also an agility dog, so I needed to strengthen her recall as we had an attention/recall issue in our first trial. So Patty met me at a nearby park and helped me get honey's attention and recall improved and honey has greatly improved in basic coming when called (she was good before, but like i said, slack off a bit and shell take advantage), and has helped greatly in the agility "ring". Hopefully will pay off when we do our next trial next month (October), where the objective is to at least finish 1 of our 3 events (we didnt get to finish our 2 last time because we ran out of time and/or she got too many "off courses" cause she would get distracted and walk away from me! Overall, I highly recommend Patty. She is very personable, rates are good, uses positive reinforcement (ie treats/rewards) and comes in handy for those "touch ups" that dog's sometimes need. I obviously cant say much in regards to puppies/no training at all and need multiple sessions to learn the basics, but for dogs with some training that need touch ups or behavior consults, Patty is definitely handy. I also like the fact that its one-on-one. So no need to pay for a "session" to acquire the same lessons in a group setting with minimial attention given to you and your dog. She makes sure you know what you are doing and feel comfortable before the end of your session(s). And I have called around to a few places/people and Patty's rates were by far the best for private one-on-one training.
