Our experience with Bruce at Dog Behaviors Denver has been absolutely phenomenal. We have a…read moreShepherd/Cattle Dog mix (high energy, high intelligence), and before meeting Bruce, we had tried multiple trainers, most of whom were only okay. Initially, we knew some basic commands, but the biggest struggle we could not overcome was our dog's obedience or reactivity concerns. Before Bruce, our dog did not do well with other dogs and people on walks, and guests couldn't come to our home due to fear of being accidentally hurt by him. Our lowest point was when our boy bit a lady at a local Farmer's Market, where we were attempting to do some training with him, and he became startled. We utilized as much of the training we had worked on with other trainers, but it wasn't enough. That's when we called Bruce. Here's our experience: at the initial meeting, we were very impressed with Bruce's resume and we could tell by his skill-set that he would be able to turn our boy around. Bruce had over 15 years experience working with dogs who were relinquished due to aggression or behaviors at a local humane society, turning them into confident, obedient and adoptable dogs. Not to mention, he also trained in Germany for 3+ years overseas with a military-style training for police dogs. Bruce uses a combination of high-drive reinforcement and timely corrections One thing to keep in mind though, you get out what you put in. If you aren't willing to do the work, Bruce might not be the right guy for you. We were pretty motivated and found a lot of success with Bruce. Within the first few sessions, we saw noticeable changes in our dog's behavior; he was gaining confidence through the consistency and training Bruce taught us about. Bruce's ability to fine-tune all the mixed signals we were giving AND giving us detailed explanations of why they were important to correct, completely changed everything for us. He even explains the science behind some of the techniques, which we appreciated. Our closest family and friends knew all the struggles we had experienced with our boy before Bruce. They have been so impressed with how much progress our dog has made. We would absolutely recommend Bruce to anyone needing dog training. You will be able to tell the passion and love for what he does the first time you meet him!

Bruce's guidance and tools gave us the confidence to support our pups and develop their improved behavior. He also helped us understand the underlying rationale on the tools we learned.

We honestly can't believe the dramatic change in our dogs. Thank you Bruce!

Judson and Blaine were absolutely amazing -- patient, knowledgeable, and so good at explaining each step of the training process. They took the time to understand my dog's personality and tailored the sessions perfectly. You can really tell they love what they do and care deeply about the dogs they work with. In just a short time, I saw such a positive change in my dog's behavior. Walks are more enjoyable, recall is so much better, and our bond feels stronger than ever. The whole experience was worth every penny, and the ongoing support from the trainers has been awesome. If you're looking for results and a team that truly goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Sit Means Sit in Littleton especially Judson and Blaine. They're the best! Thank you guys so much !

I love these guys.

After calling every possible training facility and trainer in the West Metro region, expressing major concern about Shadow having possible aggression issues, Jon + Judson + Blaine very patiently heard me out, answered every question I had, put my mind at ease, and also showed me that he does not in fact have aggression issues, just had some fear and needed to have his confidence built up. This was a stark contrast to a "professional trainer" (I will NEVER do business with nor recommend Canine Dimensions, particularly Summer Rhodes) who basically told me: (1) my puppy's behavior was beyond unnatural, and (2) I was not the right person for this dog, which was devastating to hear. Turns out my pup is a total love bug, very intelligent, and these guys were and are critical to my boy's development and learning. Thank you guys!!!

Dr. Kuban was very compassionate and gentle with her and very patient with us. He made sure she was distracted and comfortable. Asked if we had questions. Asked what blanket and toys we wanted to go with her. I've had 4 other dogs that passed naturally from old age so having to make this end of life decision for my baby of 15 years killed me. Her last moments and memories were not filled with anxiety, stress and pain but of smells of home, her bed, and her humans surrounding her. Highly recommend if you need to assist your fur baby cross the rainbow bridge and making heart wrenching decisions just a little easier.

The vets I called lacked the sympathy and understanding. It seemed to be more of a business deal instead of the important last day for me and my pup. When I discovered CK9 veterinary, I called and talked to Dr. Clint, he was VERY sympathetic and calming. Just speaking with him gave me the peace I needed to ensure my dog was going to go in peace. On the day I decided to put my dog down, I called Dr. Clint and had a hesitation and ended my call before he answered. I received an immediate call back with reassurance and sympathy. There was no rush with Dr. Clint. Dr. Clint took the time to ensure I understood the process. He allowed me to walk out at anytime if needed. He provided so much comfort on what was the hardest day I've had to go through. Dr. Clint personally brought me back my paw print in between his busy day. Couldn't recommend Dr. Clint and his services enough. If you are on the fence about at home final care, I promise you - Dr. Clint is your guy. He cares more about you and your pup than you could imagine.

We researched dog trainers and went with a large company with near to perfect reviews. While we were not displeased with our 6 week service from this other company, there was simply something missing. I could not put my finger on it until I met Drew. I found Drew on NextDoor as a recommendation to another family in the University/PlattPark/Wash Park area and immediately reached out to him. Drew was very responsive and immediately took time getting to know our family's goals for dog training. From the moment Drew entered our home, we knew that he would be part of our family in training our Golden Retriever puppy. Drew's mannerisms, training regime, and positive presence immediately shined and we knew Drew was our "Dog Whisperer". He is so very knowledgeable and is truly a natural with dog training. My husband and I were beyond impressed. Drew also is an educator for the University of Denver School of Social Work graduate students teaching them as canine interventional specialist. Being a Pediatric ICU nurse for many years and seeing how dogs can truly impact a child's wellness state, I can tell you these programs are amazing. For Drew to be the educator of such a program speaks volumes to his training program. We truly look forward to the future with Drew and our Golden Retriever as we know great things are ahead of us with Drew at the helm!

WOW -- I call him the magician, but he's even more than that: HE'S A GODSEND!! We have a new Golden Retriever puppy, Pisko, and started working with Drew almost immediately (e.g., private one-on-one lessons before Pisko had even finished all of his shots, puppy manner classes, two-week boarding school, etc.) DREW has an exceptional rapport with dogs, a true gift for teaching (both animals and OWNERS), and a wonderful sense of humor. He also listens closely to what YOUR specific goals and needs are, and tailors your training experience to meet those objectives. I could go on an on, but the bottom line is that DREW IS THE BEST TRAINER around!

What would I have done without Jenny?!? By unforseen circumstances we found ourselves with an…read moreabused and abandoned puppy mill puppy. His behavior and fear far exceeded anything I could manage on my own, as nothing I did worked to help the Pup out. A friend of mine recommended Jenny. Jenny was amazing and God sent!!!! She supported me and gave me a lot of information on what to do to get our new found puppy to feel safe and come out of his shell. Through her walking me through what to do, contacting me to see how its going and her positive words the whole time, she was the catalyst for this puppy's recovery. Our new puppy went from being scared of us, Peeing himself when we were near and hiding in corners, to comming when I call, snuggling with me and playing all day long with his toys and our other dogs. He went from being the most sad soul I have ever met and transformed into a goofy and silly sweet boy. I accredit this to Jenny's information and guidance. He was a very extreme situation and it took a different approach and a level of understanding to get him to the place he is in now. Jenny comes highly recommended by myself and I would use her for any of my dogs or for any future needs because she is absolutely amazing!!!

My husband had looked…read morearound to a lot of one on one training classes and were realizing most were too expensive, so we were going to opt for the traditional petco training. However, when I stumbled upon A Wagging Success, the price wasn't too much more than petco and seemed like a better 1 on 1 fit for my husband and I and my dog. The owner of A Wagging Success is cheerful and bubbly, which I appreciated early on. Her initial phone interview felt welcoming and she expressed how her A Wagging Success was exactly what we needed to break our dog of unhealthy habits. However, as classes continued, I felt she spent more time telling stories and advertising for her next level classes than teaching my dog new tricks. I felt like the instruction was minimal and my dog was bored. Further more, when she was instructing, she would often snap and the dog owners as if they were a dog who was misbehaving. If the owner wasn't doing something perfect with their dog, instead of gently correcting the wrong training technique, she would scold them. Overall, I was unimpressed and would not return to A Wagging Success.
