    I am very impressed with the two week training my dogs received at Co Dog Academy. I've attended…read morenumerous training sessions with other agencies, and this program is the best. My kids "Rosie and Snoopy" were still in training mode when we got home. I expected them to be a little out of control, instead, they listened to my commands and were engaged. I believe another two weeks at this program is warranted. Thankyou CDA. Rosie, Snoopy and I appreciate your knowledge of dog behaviors, what is really important in a dog's life and most of all, not to humanize your dog. It all makes sense to me now. The staff, the trainers are all great!!!

    Do not board your dog here. I've boarded my dogs here 28 time and spent a total of $4,000. I had my…read morefirst issue here over the weekend and was able to see firsthand how little they value customers and care about the dogs. My dog was severely injured and almost lost her eye due to negligence on their end. After speaking with the animal hospital I was advised that MANY dogs come to the hospital with a variety of injuries and that CO Dog Academy is not transparent when injuries occur. The Kennel is known as having a "sketchy" reputation and the fact they don't have cameras is a huge red flag. Pat the owner was incredibly combative with me when I asked him to pay for the vet bill. He offered $500 and I asked how he came up with that amount when the cost of treatment was triple that amount. He said I had no proof they were responsible. What I believe happened is that the old rusty door that leads to the outside kennel fell and trapped my dog by her neck (they found grease all over her). As a result, eye proptosis occurred (very painful injury where the eye pops out) I'm so disappointed with how CO Dog Academy handled this matter. I'll Post pics on yelp. Please do not risk taking your dog here.

Now at 9 months old, after 6 lessons and weeks of practice, practice, practice, he is a different dog. I never thought there could be such a difference in a dog in such a short time. Jesse was afraid of so much. He had to learn how to go up and down stairs and be comfortable riding in a car. Every noise on a walk startled him -- birds, cars, loud noises, other dogs, people, everything. Walking with him was a horrible experience. He pulled and sniffed constantly, lunged at people and other dogs. Nothing I did was helping because I had no idea of what to do. He wasn't much better in the house. He had no boundaries. He would not stay in one place for any length of time. He couldn't be in the backyard because he constantly ate the mulch and chewed holes in the grass. Thank goodness I found Jack! All of that has changed - in 3 months! Because of what Jack has taught me, I now am able to successfully communicate with my dog and help him gain the confidence he needs to be his best self. His energy has mellowed since he no longer has the need to take control of everyone and everything. His walks are enjoyable - even off leash. Yes, Jesse can be off leash and we hike the trails in Boulder. He comes when called and he will walk beside me with no leash if I ask him to. It's really unbelievable. There are so many things I could tell you about my amazing dog and what he can do. But you can experience it yourself if any of this sounds familiar. If you are willing to put in the time to work with you dog and do what Jack or Alex tells you, I have every reason to believe you will have great results. My daughter worked with Alex and followed her advice. She was certain her dog would never stop chasing rabbits and squirrels or be trusted off leash as well as numerous other problems. After 3 months, she too has had amazing results and now a well-behaved dog. We hike together -- with our dogs off leash. I continue to use the foundation, techniques, and education Jack provided as I continue training with Jesse. There is always room for improvement and new things for both of us to learn. I really could not have managed Jesse without Jack's help. I will always be grateful.

    Our 2-year old Stella had impulse control and leash reactivity issues due to anxiety and fear…read more Taking her to places like an outdoor coffee shop or Home Depot was so frustrating because she couldn't control her excitement and we couldn't control her. So, we just stopped taking her. And, after a very bad reaction to a dog on our walk, where she redirected on me, I would get scared any time we saw a dog when we were out walking and did my best to just avoid dogs altogether. We finally decided we couldn't fix Stella on our own and we decided to take her to Black Paw Dog Training. The training we ALL received has changed our lives! Since her graduation, we have enjoyed Saturday pack walks with other graduates and Stella has done great, walking side by side with other dogs, passing dogs out on the trail and staying in a perfect heel. I never thought it could be possible. She plays ball in a neighborhood park and has perfect recall. And our walks and ball playing in the neighborhood are totally different. She can pass dogs on the trail and just walk on by without losing her mind. And taking her with us to stores is now a fun outing. No more whining. No more pulling. Just a well-behaved pup. Bernadette and Cecilia have opened up a whole new world for us that we never thought was possible. We cannot thank Black Paw Dog Training or recommend them highly enough.

He may have a bit of Staffordshire terrier in him but that is unconfirmed--he just has a big head. Our guy was running around having a good time. He went by a golden retriever to introduce himself and the golden lost its marbles on him and attacked him while our dog was cowering towards the wall trying to get away. The golden owner got it off and he came running back to us. It's worth noting that he didn't act any differently with this golden than he did with the black lab that was also there, but the black lab didn't attack him. We understand not all dogs are going to get along, and we have no ill will towards them or the dog. The issue is was how the "owner" of the place handled the situation. The golden left and we stayed for about 10 more minutes. When we decided to leave, the owner asked us what happened. We told her our side and she completely dismissed it. She said she has never had an issue with that golden before. I told her there are cameras in there and they should look back at the footage. She said "the cameras are not recording. I'm the owner and I know what goes on here". My question for the owner is why have cameras in the first place if they are not there to protect your business and your clients. She said we cannot have dogs reacting around other dogs. You mean acting like dogs? Our dog is very excitable and loves being around other dogs, and that is what the owner did not like. Our dog goes to a dog park almost daily because he loves playing with other dogs and has never had any issues with them. In fact, the shelter we got him from specifically had him in a kennel with another dog. Please if you do decide to go here and your dog has the slightest resemblance to a Pit-bull, Akita, German shepherd, Rottweiler or any other "dangerous breed" be careful because the owner will not have any sympathy for your dog. This was so disappointing because the staff from our prior visits were super friendly and welcoming, and I do believe they would have handled this situation with a lot more professionalism and kindness than their own boss would have. Regrettably, we do not intend to attend another session at your establishment. We fully acknowledge the necessity of strict policies to ensure the safety of the dogs, and we respect that. However, we found the manner in which the situation was managed to be unacceptable and unprofessional, which is the core issue. We would have been more than willing to return for a private session if we were treated with kindness and respect.

    I thought long and hard before making my decision to write this review. It's something I've…read moredreaded, but I can't remain silent any longer. Maureen is a perfect candidate for the worst dog "trainer" award in Broomfield if not all of Colorado. Where do I start? I reached out to her a month ago to inquire about her services and to get some help with training for my now 4-month old mini-golden doodle: Muffin. I read her reviews and went over her website and decided to give her a try. I previously had a poor experience with another dog trainer that focused on negative reinforcement. Maureen appeared kind and understanding on the phone. She seemed to understand what I was wanting to accomplish. Prior to reaching out to Maureen, I educated myself on the basics of training through YouTube videos and free apps. I'm a competent person and could easily train my dog on my own, but I'd rather have a professional with me in person for real-time learning. FIRST VISIT: Maureen arrived at my home for the first session and the majority of the visit was spent engaging in un-related small talk. She "taught" me a few things that were common knowledge. She was friendly, but it almost seemed like a fake kind of friendliness. She came off as domineering and a "know-it all." After the visit, I asked Maureen if we could put together some type of roadmap or plan of what to work on in the next session and beyond. She stated to me that it wasn't possible). She continued to "educate" me on stuff that I already knew and sent me links and videos to information that I could have also easily found on my own. SECOND VISIT: Reluctantly, I had her over for another session to see if the experience would improve (it didn't). We, again, spent 90% of the session chatting about nothing. Towards the end of the session, she introduced a puzzle toy and how to use it to help slow down the puppy's eating and stimulate her mind. She left the toy for us to use until the next session. Still disappointed, I reached out to her again to try and reinforce what I would like to accomplish to which she replied: I've already shown you how to handle these situations that you're asking for help with learning. If she did, why would I have been asking again? ------ Next came the scheduling issues for the final session (after she was already paid upfront of course). I informed her of the times I was available and each time she continued to refer to her other clients and being booked up as if I wasn't as important as the other people she was working with. Acting as though it was a burden for her to work around MY schedule. I'm the client here and you're working for me, not the other way around. When I shared my feelings with Maureen about the way she was training my puppy or lack thereof, she tried turning things around on me to make it seem as though I was the problem. Saying things such as she heard from other people she's talked to that it appears like I'm not wanting to nurture my puppy's baby brain and expecting results right away. None of this I ever said to her or expressed. I made it clear to Maureen from the start that I wanted hands-on training. You can't teach someone through talking. FINAL SESSION (never happened): I had one session remaining and decided to end our relationship at this point. I asked for a refund and she flat out refused (no surprise) and referred me back to the contract that was signed. I then told her I would leave her puzzle toy on my porch for her to come and get. She said that wouldn't work for HER and I would need to drop it off at the pet store behind my home. Again, further inconveniencing me. She then threatened me that if there was any damage I would be charged and she sent me a Venmo request for $50 despite not even having received the toy back! It takes a special person to want to become a dog trainer and Maureen isn't one of those people. It seems she is more focused on getting her money rather than actually caring about the work she is doing. It's a shame that I wasted $328 of my hard-earned money on this woman's poor excuse of dog training business. It makes me wonder what her conscience is like if she has no problem keeping $163 for my final session that was never completed. Perhaps she knew what she was doing all along. Make the experience as bad as possible, hide behind the contract of no refunds, and then the client will be so upset they don't bother having her come over again for their remaining session(s). I regret not paying her via electronic means so I could dispute the payment. Furthermore, the experience with her was so awful that I shared it with my vet. It turns out Maureen was there not too long ago trying to get even more clients. Luckily the vet I use is awesome and saw right through her facade. I praise God that I have finally found a reputable and reliable trainer for my baby girl and this nightmare with Maureen is behind me.

She was a rehome situation and had been trained to use a liter box in her crate. Meghan from Training Wheels helped me train Lemon to go outside and to LOVE her crate as a safe place and not soil it. Additionally, she helped me train Lemon to be totally focused on me, even with distractions. She sits when asked, she looks to me for approval and consent, and comes when called, no matter what. She is the goodest girl now - not that she wasn't before - she is just so much better now. All of this training was done with a lot of knowledge and a lot of love from Training Wheels. I also use Training Wheels for boarding Lemon. She gets so much positive attention and interaction. I was a bit hesitant at first because there are a lot of big dogs, but the times that I have boarded her, there have been dogs her size to play with and the bigger dogs play in a different area. For sleeping, she gets her own area (with door) with plenty of space for her bed and toys and then an area for going potty, should she need to in the night (Italian Greyhounds have hamster bladders, haha). The building where she sleeps and takes naps is temperature controlled and she is surrounded by other dogs in their areas, so is never alone. There are multiple outside play areas - and they designate which areas are for which size dog, and the dogs are always supervised. Training Wheels staff are always with the dogs and interacting with the dogs. They send pics of my happy dog playing outside and running and having just the best time. I feel that my tiny dog Lemon is very safe and happy there. I can't recommend Training Wheels enough for both training and boarding. Lemon is SO well taken care of and loved.
