She has been going there for all most 3 years now and she loves it so much!! Gigi is a high energy dog with some anxiety issues. From the beginning Bradie worked with us helping me to understand, and Gigi to overcome her anxiety issues, not to mention that I know Bradie continues to work with Gigi whenever she's at daycare. It is definitely one of the perks you get when you have a trainer caring for your dog, whether it is for daycare or boarding. I also have friends who have used Bradie for help training their dogs and they too have been very impressed with the progress they have seen with their dogs, both puppies and older dogs. Simply put, Bradie is amazing with the dogs that are put in her care!!

I purchased a $3,200 German Shepherd puppy from Jayne, owner of Rocky Mountain German Shepherds,…read moreand the experience has been deeply disappointing, stressful, and costly. Jayne assured me the puppy had been examined by her veterinarian and that I would receive documentation confirming German-bred, titled parents. 11 weeks later, I have received nothing. Although I noticed significant negative reviews before purchasing, I chose to give the breeder the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, purchasing from this breeder proved to be the worst decision I could have made for myself and my puppy's health. My experience confirmed many of those same concerns. When I brought the puppy home on 9/18/25, she already had persistent loose stools. That same evening, I emailed Jayne to report (four) very loose stools, request guidance, and share my veterinarian's instructions. My veterinarian of 30 years--at one of Golden's oldest and most reputable hospitals--examined her the next day and immediately found her underweight. An in-house fecal test confirmed Coccidia, and a second lab test identified Giardia. These infections required urgent, prolonged treatment; untreated, they could have been fatal. In over 30 years of owning German Shepherds from reputable breeders, I had never even heard of Coccidia, let alone experienced anything like this. Giardia required multiple rounds of medication, plus an antibiotic, to resolve. Despite my same-day email and immediate notification, Jayne did not respond, offer guidance, acknowledge the health issues, provide assistance or even the potential for reimbursement for the substantial medical and other expenses that followed. The failure to acknowledge serious pre-existing health issues, provide documentation, or respond responsibly was disgusting to experience as a buyer who trusted this kennel. Her only subsequent contact was two brief emails asking, "How is [Puppy's Name] doing - verbatim" Concerned for the puppy's health and deeply frustrated by the atrocious lack of support, I did not respond. Over nearly two months, I administered multiple rounds of medication, purchased 1,000 exam gloves, sanitized all surfaces daily to prevent reinfection, discarded contaminated supplies and infected toys. In my experience, no breeder I have dealt with in 30+ years has required anything like this level of effort to restore a puppy's health. The lack of transparency, unfulfilled promises of documentation, and failure to address serious pre-existing health issues raise serious concerns about this kennel's breeding and veterinary practices. Assurances regarding health checks, responsible care, and proper paperwork were not reliable. This experience has been emotionally exhausting, financially burdensome, and entirely avoidable. Puppies deserve responsible breeders who prioritize their health, and buyers deserve honesty, professionalism, and support--none of which I received here.

For the price they're…read moreasking for their puppies, I expect to be able to visit to several times before pickup which is impossible given that they don't respond to emails or phone calls. I feel like they may also have been lying to my face about the energy level of their puppies - the ONE time I was able to get a hold of these people (by just showing up at their facility), they said their german shepherds weren't necessarily 'high energy' and if I wanted a couch potato dog, their dogs would still be a good fit. I have a really hard believing that. When I left a bad review on Google reviews, this breeder finally responded to my emails threatening me with legal action!!! The dogs are really cute but when you're making a life changing purchase like a puppy, it's impossible to work with a breeder who doesn't respond to any form of communication. I ended up getting a puppy from a different breeder who was far more communicative and easy to schedule visits and pick up with.

I have a Beagle/Shepherd mix and although I had been training her for over a year and she knew what…read moreto do, her Beagle independence seemed to get the better of her causing a rift between us. I had her in the 10 day boarding program with Sit Means Sit and her level of obedience changed drastically! For what they do and offer, I believe they are reasonably priced. My dog continues to grow and improve, learning boundaries, obedience and strengthening the bond between us. The ongoing support and training Sit Means Sit provides after that initial start up is vital as both my puppy and I continue to learn together. The trainers are relaxed and patient; they're with you all the way! I'm so grateful to this program!

Sit Means Sit and Donovan our trainer has given us our life back. They are truly amazing people and…read moreour experience has been top notch! We have 2 very large male dogs who used to be best buds but when Durango my 200lb Great Dane hit puberty is when the trouble began. It started with a few spats and then one evening they were in the backyard and we heard them viciously fighting. There was nothing we could do. They were too strong. We tried everything. We had to let them go until they were both too exhausted to fight anymore. I thought for sure we were going to lose one or both. Thankfully although they were both injured neither one had life threatening injuries. Neither lost an ear or an eye. For almost 5 months we had to keep them separated which meant my spouse and I were separated constantly. We shared time with both dogs at different times in different places. It was miserable. We didn't have the heart to give one up. I reached out to a few trainers but once we had a conversation with Sit Means Sit, we were sold. I thought for sure I needed a Board and Train program and it was going to cost a fortune. They told me we could do that but they honestly thought we could pay half the money and have them train once per week for a few short weeks and receive the same results. It was less stressful all the way around. Both of my dogs are new boys. They are confident, obedient and so happy. Although this is a process, we have seen so much progress in such a short amount of time. Our dogs can now be PLACED in the same room so we can all be together. I am hopeful that someday soon they might be able to be friends again. We see glimpses that they want to play again. They wag their tails when they see each other. We will live in muzzles when together until were comfortable that there will not be any issues but they don't mind them at all. If your trying to decide on a training program, give them a shot. Thank you so much Donovan for helping us through this. Our dogs absolutely loved you. We will all miss meeting with you every week. We know you are only a call away. I cannot recommend them enough!!

Ashley and Ryan amazing! We adopted a very sweet female pit bull, Angel, that had major anxiety…read moreissues and for some reason was afraid of my teenage son. This poor girl was afraid of just about everything! The Rescue recommended that we give Ashley a call. Best decision ever! Ashley came to our house with Ryan for an evaluation and met our pup. She observed Angel in action and listened to our concerns and instantly knew that Angel just needed to work on her confidence. We arranged for weekly training sessions where we would learn a different command(s) each week and practice it throughout the week. In the middle of the training schedule, Angel had a week of stay and train with Ashley and learned so much in that one week! The training has made an incredible difference and she can now walk through a busy store, willing climb into the car, sit/down/stay in her place command (her favorite), heel when on a leash, play at the dog park and not bark excessively at the doorbell. Angel learned quickly under Ashley's expert guidance. It's incredible to see how much a little confidence can change a dog's life. I recommend Denver Dog Training because of how knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible they are. Ashley really makes you feel like she cares about you as the owner. She also strives to help your dog work on whatever specific issues or problems it has. It is not a "one size fits all" approach and she really works to make sure your dog is getting the specific training it needs.

We recently adopted a Great Dane from a rescue organization who had been in four different homes in…read moretwo short years, with little to no training. Sasha had no confidence, was extremely leash reactive and showed a lot of aggression towards other dogs and some people. She weighs more than I do, and I was very concerned that I wouldn't be able to control her while on walks if she decided to take off after another dog or bunny (she LOVED to chase bunnies!). We found a trainer in Ft. Collins that works specifically with Danes who are reactive and anxious; however, the timeline for her training schedule would have taken over 3 months or more, and it scared me that Sasha might bite another person or dog while we progressed through her training. A good friend of ours, who lives in Virginia, (yes, Virginia) highly recommended Denver Dog Training. His son used Denver Dog Training and after watching the video of the dog, named Chaos, and after talking with Ashley, we immediately set up a time to put Sasha in the "Stay and Train" program. Ashely did an amazing job and her philosophy of incorporating training into daily life worked spectacularly. After three weeks of training Sasha, and our entire family, Sasha is a much happier dog and has an amazing amount of confidence. She easily walks with us, both on and off leash, stays in a down/stay and is much calmer around the house. I no longer fear walking with her and feel confident taking her into stores and among other dogs. After three short weeks, she easily passed her Good Citizen test. We will be recommending Denver Dog Training to all of our friends and believe that anyone who places their family member in Ashely and Nate's capable hands will get the dog they've always wanted.

Worst experience ever. Our pup Lucy was reactive and Peter told us to get her CBD to try and calm…read moreher anxiety. He had 0 response on how to actually try and correct the problem. We are so upset. He did not do what he promised he would do. His email to us: I am sorry to hear that you do not want to continue working on Lucy's leash aggression with me, but I understand your frustration with how severe her response is when she sees another dog getting close to Enzo. As we discussed, she goes into distress is is not capable of making good decisions once she crosses the line into distress. I mentioned that she may need medication to be able to keep her below the distress threshold. Short of changing her emotional outlook, she will remain leash reactive. Also he did not even stay for the entire training on the second one. He left without helping. He left at 3:35 when we started at 3. He did not listen to what we told him.

I had gone from being afraid of getting injured walking my dog because he pulled so badly to in 24 hours being able to walk him comfortably and actually being relaxed while doing so! The skills he taught me have also helped us turn from having a growling and pulling at his leash dog when people came to the door to having a slightly apprehensive but easily reassured dog. Feels great that I can actually have people over now without worrying about them being nervous about his reaction. He was never violent, but a growling dog is scary nonetheless! Peter was very responsive and great to work with. I referred him to a neighbor and they had a good experience too! Highly recommend.

We have had two dogs that took classes through Friends for life. Sterling came from Roswell animal…read moreshelter and had been abused. He was afraid of his own shadow at two years of age. Natalie and Jenn worked with him to get over his fears. They also volunteered to help find him when he got out of the yard at home. MG went through puppy class and loved socializing with the other puppies.

Natalie & Jenn are magic and we have learned SO much from them…read more Investing in their 'Lifetime' training package has been easily worth 3x as much as we paid for it. Here is the deal. We learned the hard way that a lot of trainers call themselves 'positive', but are anything but. After a different 'positive' trainer choked, pinched, and then shoved our 9lb puppy onto concrete because he was playing tug of war with his leash, we understood that there is a big difference between a truly force free dog trainer and one who uses 'positive' as a marketing buzzword. Following that experience I called Natalie to come meet our puppy, and we knew within 10 minutes that we wanted to work with her. Group lessons are great, but if you want the full experience, private lessons are the way to go. They came to our home and spent an hour each time helping us with calmness, loose leash walking, staying on a mat, table manners, door dashing, dog and human greetings, recall/come, and a positive relationship with our dog. This is on top of the basics of sit-stay-down-stand, which they also teach. They have endless knowledge and the ability to thoughtfully address biting, over arousal, pulling, guarding, reactivity, aggression, fear, barking, boredom, stealing, anxiety, etc. which they weave beautifully into training sessions that are tailored for each individual dog. They want your dog to be a dog, and they want your dog to really, truly enjoy life! Training sessions are fun, and there is no force or pain or fear involved. Our dog LOVES them both, and they are so awesome to hang out with. Natalie and Jenn are laid back, humorous, helpful, and full of experience and knowledge! What Natalie and Jenn have taught us has easily applied to other aspects of training; simply put, they teach you. . .not just your dog. I cannot say enough awesome things about them.

This overstimulation made it almost impossible to control, and we had to pick very odd times to walk him to be able to avoid seeing anyone. We have worked with Dan for a month now and the change is amazing! He used to run over dogs in his excitement, and often bump into people as well. He now walks well on a leash, we can see when he starts to get excited and actually stop and redirect him. We can call him, and even have a dog run perpendicular across his oath, and he still comes directly to us. We are so excited that we can now take him places with us and meet all of his doggy cousins!!! Dan is great to work with, and with his instructions and our daily follow-up training, we have come so far in a very short period of time. I cried the first couple of classes, because we could not control our dog. I cried at the last class, because we had complete control over him. I highly recommend Dan and Triumphant Canine for all sorts of dog training. If he can calm and control a 170 lb English Mastiff who acts.like a puppy, he can train anything.
