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.

He has been a wonderful addition to their family and has excelled in obedience training. However, he is quite reactive around other dogs. My daughter had been working diligently with a professional trainer for some time, but they weren't making much progress with Maverick to help him around other dogs. I encouraged my daughter to contact the Academy and speak with Dan, who I have known for 40 years and has trained several of my own dogs. I told her, "If there is a trainer who can help Maverick, it's Dan." Dan did not disappoint! After two weeks of board and train for Maverick, I met my daughter at the Academy today with my two dogs, which Maverick had not yet met. Dan facilitated a greeting and interaction between them, and it went even better than we could have hoped for. It was important for our entire family to spend time together, and that includes our dogs. Dan has made that possible for us. I cannot thank Dan and Colorado Dog Academy enough for helping us get on the right path with our pack. We will be forever grateful.

So Baci was an indulged as a new puppy who arrived at our home just when our new granddaughter did in a remote city. But once we moved to the Front Range area to be closer to our growing family, Baci needed some training. Isaac was just amazing. Calm, quiet, and easygoing. No reprimands from this guy, just relationship building, establishing trust and clear communication, and persistence. Our dog went from a highly reactive and headstrong little girl to walking on a heal with a loose leash, being able to sit on command, staying out of a designated area, and more. All in just one session. The best part is that her fun and high spirits remain fully intact. This dog is still happy, fun, and loving. Thanks, Isaac. Highly recommend!

Three days into having him and he dragged me down a hill to get to another dog. I love him, but he's an absolute psycho. I called a bunch of trainers to see if someone could help with his dog reactivity. They all flat out refused because of his age and size to train him around other dogs which is what Sheldon needed. After the first two sessions with Isaac where he shared invaluable tips, he allowed us to practice around his dog Finn (the most placid dog). Isaac was patient, calm, and supportive of our journey with Sheldon. He'd even offer guidance if I had a question about the training post-session. We're now almost a year into having Sheldon and I can comfortably walk him around other dogs with some of the cues and tips that Isaac taught me. I can take him to the park and I can have him on a long line. Today we walked passed two off leash dogs playing fetch! I'm truly grateful to Isaac for making our lives and Sheldon's life a lot less stressful.

A year later and we're almost done with off-leash training. Cheddar now comes back every single time without fail. This is a dog that would be halfway down the block if he slipped or broke his collar. We've also seen how much more confident and happy Cheddar is after his training.

Chomps understood the challenge and worked Saphira for 7 weeks. She is such a different dog. Still the same loving dog we always knew but with structure and training it's just amazing. We also learned what to do to keep the training going and make her feel safe. One week after coming home my 2 adult daughter came to visit for almost 2 weeks. We stuck to the plan and today she walked up to my daughter and put her head in her hand. She allowed her to pet her for quite some time. Such a huge thing because we love our dog so much. So thank you Chomps! So worth it.

Chomps Dog Training is fantastic and I *highly* recommend their services. We sent a puppy and a…read moresenior dog to them for training. We sent the puppy because she had a lot of anxiety and was hard to manage/impossible to walk in public. The senior dog was sent because she was territorial towards the puppy and demonstrating anxious behaviors. Nick and his team helped us learn how to manage the pup and better acclimate our senior dog to her new sibling. After training, the puppy was manageable in public and has consistently gotten better in the months since (she left training). The reason Nick and his methods are so good is that they give you the tools you need to train and manage your dog independently. You and your dog leave the program with the ability to continue training - with tools that help you communicate and grow together. It's incredibly valuable and worth every penny!

Vince was super patient with us and made sure we felt 100% comfortable going home to continue the work. Vince has been available for any follow up questions and hosts monthly group training classes for clients, which are amazing. Klaus loves and respects Vince so much and is always excited to see him. A couple weeks after training we went out of town and boarded Klaus with Vince and couldn't be happier with the convenience and the controlled environment. I recommend Colorado Canine Training to anyone looking to better understand their dog and get the training they need. Klaus is excited to work on his new skills everyday now!

Claudia is amazing! If you're looking for a dog trainer who will help you build a stronger…read morerelationship and shared communication / language with your dog, look no further. What makes Claudia special as a trainer is that she's truly positive reinforcement, not mixed positive and punishment which is just confusing for dogs. Also, she isn't your dog's trainer, she's YOUR trainer - teaching you how to build a next level relationship with your doggie. We have a 7lb rescue who needed to learn how to safely interact with the world. We started by prioritizing basics, like sit, lay down, come, leave it, etc. Our original plan was to just get the basics covered - our dog is so little we wanted to ensure his safety. I had done a good amount of research and watch videos online of how to train these commands and thought I would take it as far as I could on my own before bringing in a trainer to cover any gaps. Well once we brought in Claudia my only regret was not bringing her in from the very start. We learned so much about how to work with our dog, we learned much faster, and had a lot of fun in the process. We ended up working with Claudia for more sessions only because what we learned improved our relationship with our dog so much and was so rewarding for all of us that we wanted to keeping working on more fun training. And because we learned the fundamentals so well from Claudia, we've since been able to train our dog on even more things entirely on our own (like "boop" nose to nose touch). This is due to the foundational understanding that Claudia taught us of how to shape new skills. Claudia has also come to our aid in a couple semi-emergency situations, such as when we started fostering a dog that had been rescued from the streets and was therefore very reactive and resource guarding. She helped us first prioritize safety and well-being for both our foster dog and resident dog, then followed up with how to work on our foster dog's behaviors to help her get adopted successfully. If not for Claudia in that situation we might have needed to return our foster to the rescue - but instead we were equipped to handle a whole new set of challenging behaviors and set our foster dog up for a good life with a family.
