I can't recommend Holly enough! She worked her magic and got us trained as owners. We have Corgis that are super smart and love us, but THEY had US manipulated. Our 11 year old, Daisy, was Cujo when we got Luke at 10 weeks. After struggling and keeping them totally separated for 2 months, I called Bark Busters and Holly helped us understand the problems. They became best friends. I really think they should rename it Bark Busters Dog OWNER Training! With just a few easy changes, we are very happy dog owners and Daisy and Luke are happy Corgis!

All of Scott's attention and training goes to the people, since the dog needs to behave for us, not for a trainer.

We've been working with Jose for a few months. He's been awesome to work with. He's been great…read moreabout teaching us how to train our dogs. His group classes are great as well. We've really benefited from one-on-one training, and within just a few sessions, we are seeing a difference. Be ready to do the work with your dog! If you take the tools and techniques Jose teaches and implement them, it'll work, and you'll be happy and have a well-behaved dog! Additionally, his prices are some of the fairest I found after interviewing several dog trainers. He takes the approach of letting me lead in what I think my dog needs, but also offers his opinions. Thanks, Jose!

Jose at Word of Mouth Training completely changed our lives!! Our dog Otis was extremely reactive…read moreand fearful. We could barely leave the house with him. Car rides were awful, we had to cover our windows so he would not react to people or dogs walking by, and he even reacted to cartoon dogs on TV. He also started showing aggression toward our other dog. We had tried multiple training classes before and things were only getting worse. After Jose's 16 day program Otis came home like a completely different dog. Even after the first few days we could see his confidence growing and every group class showed more progress. Other dog owners even commented on how much he had changed. I truly never thought I would see Otis running around playing with other dogs but now he is a normal, happy dog. Jose fixed him and completely changed his life and ours. This is the best money we have ever spent and I will always be grateful. I cannot recommend him enough!

He wouldn't walk through doorways, he walked on the new floors like they were going to fall out from underneath him and for a little over a week we only took the stairs, up & down, to the 7th floor because I knew introducing an elevator to Peyton would be impossible. I never once panicked but instead used all the training we had learned & if I needed additional guidance from FRK9A they always responded to my emailed questions. It makes me so proud to say Peyton not only rides in the elevator now but he can calmly be in there with multiple strangers + a bike and he's cool as a cucumber. FRK9A has provided both me & Peyton with the continued knowledge to build a bond between us that keeps us safe & happy while adventuring around downtown Denver!! I'd recommend FRK9A to everyone who loves their dog & I'm looking forward to furthering our work in their advanced program. Thank you Jordan Dye & everyone at Front Range K9 Academy!!

I have 3 rescue dogs. I absolutely love them to death. They are the sweetest, most loving animals…read morehere at home. Two of them are my problem children: a Rottweiler mix foster fail who is reactive to bikes and other dogs and occasionally nervous around people like visiting contractors or UPS men, and the other is a 100+ lb Brazilian mastiff rescue from Aruba who is not fond of other dogs. The two of them began showing increasingly worse dog aggression toward other dogs on the trail and while camping, and had attacked several dogs by the time I found Loyal Hound/Juliet. I was at my wit's end, because I had already spent thousands of dollars and tried everything including other trainers at that point with little to no progress. I felt stuck with 2 big problems for the next 6-8 years. I hike at least 3 miles every single day off leash on the trails by my house, and I love to camp with my dogs in the summer, but they became such a liability that walks became stressful and camping became impossible. I finally found Juliet with Loyal Hound, and for our very first session we met at a crowded park and were going to be doing off leash training right away. I was so nervous -- all the triggers were present: other people with dogs on leashes, dogs off leashes, people on bikes, squirrels -- so I was absolutely AMAZED when we were walking my Rottweiler off leash through a gaggle of geese, past people on bikes, and past other dogs within a few minutes with no problems. It was nothing short of a miracle. Within a few sessions, I had both of my dog aggressive dogs walking on and off leash next to me, passing other dogs (sometimes dogs that were even barking at them) on trails safely with no reactivity. I cannot explain in words how much of a difference this has made in my life -- I feel like I got my life back. If you have a dog aggressive dog, this is the place to go. It's WELL worth the investment, and you will be amazed at the difference you will see in your dog. Thank you Loyal Hound & Juliet!!

I have so many amazing things to say about this training with Juliet. I just had a follow up…read moresession, 4 months after our off leash training, because I had gotten a little lax with one of my dogs since I have a 1 year old and things are hectic. Within 5 minutes we were able to re-establish the training methods that work and get Hope back on track with easy leash walking. I am so impressed with her concise easy to follow instructions. I am looking forward to taking my two Samoyeds on walks again while walking my toddler in a stroller without having to worry that Hope will pull us. Trained dogs are safe dogs and I'd pay for the training with Juliet 10x over. Worth every penny! It makes my life easier as a single mom managing all the things to have two dogs that get to enjoy being outside with us because I trust them and they trust me. Don't hesitate if you need help with your dog!

I have been taking my dog Goose to SMS starting in Portland in 2021 and now to this location since…read moreJune of 2023. First, on the program as a whole. I was very apprehensive about an e-collar at first, but it has been exactly the tool we needed. Goose was a rescue and was very aggressive and reactive toward other dogs and no amount of treats or praise would detract her from that. This training has made walks so much more enjoyable for both of us, given her much more freedom, and strengthened our relationship. She gets excited when I bring her collar out, knowing that she is going to work and get to do something fun and engaging whether that be around the house or out and about. Second, this location. The transition to transfer over was seamless and the trainers have been extraordinarily helpful. The free group classes for life are so valuable and help Goose keep up on her training. She has gone from not being able to be a block away from a dog without barking and lunging to practicing off leash in a room full of 10+ dogs. Nicole and Ed both manage to keep a room full of often reactive/ anxious dogs under control and create an environment where everyone can practice and work on their skills regardless of what level that may be at. I have personally watched other owners and dogs join group class after the training program and go from being no more than 6 feet from other dogs to integrated into the class within a matter of weeks. I'm very thankful to SMS and this location for helping me and Goose enjoy life and training much more!

They are both very polite, informative and have the best customer service I have had in a long time. They have implemented stringent guidelines to keep the dogs safe and healthy.

To begin with the staff, while friendly and polite are obviously disempowered, not well paid so they don't really care, and they have no problem saying - as they did to me - "yeah, well we aren't professionals." The place reeks of urine and has no outdoor area and apparently no ventilation. We watched as dogs were unattended and bigger agressive dogs were humping and bullying smaller dogs -- pointed this out as it was happening on the closed circut video to staff. They claimed to have bathed and deshedded our dog (also said they gave him the "spa" treatment and tried to charge for it but put up no arguement when we pointed out they clearly didn't do the work that was promised. When we went to get our dog he was wet, stank strongly of shampoo as did our hands after rubbing him so we can only assume he wasn;t thoroughly rinsed, and hair was coming off in clouds so he never received the deshedding. This place is a joke and worse. Don't waste your time and money, and most importantly, don't put your dog at risk.

We started coming in April of 2023 when we needed a last minute place to board her for Easter weekend. What drew us to Zen Doggy Den is that we didn't have to pay extra for outdoor time which was a plus for boarding. We've boarded her a few times since then. But mostly for doggy daycare now. It's nice when there's something going on at the house like construction or anything like that. We can drop her off in the morning and then pick her up. She really enjoys her time there and seems like a happy pup. She's a senior dog so I think she just loves getting out of the house and getting to interact with others. Definitely recommend this place for dog boarding and doggy daycare. Thank you for always taking such good care of our Lilly girl.
