Seemed very freaked out when we picked him up. He would come home and drink water like he hadn't had anything all day. We bought a $700+ package and only used a couple of them, then the pandemic hit. By the time we returned, we were told they expired and there wouldn't even be a partial refund. Very dismissive and told me they were a business. After years of being loyal customers with our 2 dogs, they couldn't care less. You lost thousands of dollars of future business by being selfish. Luckily, this forced us to find a different dog daycare and now my dog loves to go. He doesn't act scared or freaked out anymore. He's actually happy and excited to go to the new place. I wonder what terrible things were happening to him at this place?

Scott is amazing, and we can't recommend Chill Out Dog Training enough!…read more We adopted a 9 month old, 80 lb (now 110 lb) golden retriever from a local rescue in mid-2023. A complete contrast to our older collie/aussie mix, he was full of energy and naughtiness (a puppy), and a nightmare to control. Prior to being surrendered by his (previous) family, he went through two weeks of out of home boarding/training, costing upwards of $7,000. We thought this would have helped with obedience, but boy were we wrong. Fast forward two and a half years, sessions with a certified behaviorist, and failed attempts to use an e-collar, we were at a loss. He constantly displayed leash reactivity, would lunge at cars and dogs, and made it so we would rarely walk anywhere. He almost broke my finger during a break free lunge at a dog completely across a residential street! At home, dog forbid another animal appeared on the tv; he would jump and bark at everything. Then we found Chill Out... After the very first session with Scott, our big boy golden was a different dog. Scott set is up with the right tools to refocus our dogs behavior and break him of his leash reactivity. That very first walk was pleasant and uneventful. We almost felt foolish for claiming bad behavior. What we needed was the right trainer and methods to help our dog change behavior. Like I said at the beginning, I can't recommend Chill Out Training enough.

We enrolled our 5-month old goldendoodle puppy Archie in her Manners 101 course and she really took the time to get to know all the dogs, sharing so many useful training tips along the way. You could tell very quickly this is her true calling and she treats your dog like her own. Her emphasis on positive reinforcement techniques will serve you well and the dogs respond quite well to it. She also offers private in-home lessons at a very reasonable rate and we got so much value out of having her over to observe Archie in his home environment. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the quality and value of her lessons and looking forward to registering for Manners 210 soon.

Our dog is reactive, and we were honestly shocked at how quickly her techniques started working. She explained things in a way that actually made sense, focused on helping our dog feel safe, and even stayed longer to help us practice around other dogs. We left feeling way more confident and hopeful. Highly recommend her if you have a sensitive or reactive pup. Also, Heidi is incredibly funny, so it was a great time!

Our vet recommended Juliet and The Loyal Hound when our younger female Australian Shepherd began…read moreshowing some concerning behaviors, including deep growling at the vet, fence running, and resource guarding. We wanted to address the behavior early rather than let it become more established, so within about six weeks of it starting, we enrolled her in a board-and-train program. We ultimately decided to put both of our Aussies through separate programs: both females, one five years old and the other about a year and a half. The difference has been night and day. Both dogs now have reliable recall, walk calmly on leash, and for the first time, we feel genuinely confident having them off leash. They no longer react to wildlife or other dogs on hikes, the fence running and excessive barking have stopped, and they can calmly sit with us at outdoor cafes and other dog-friendly public spaces. The "place" command has been especially valuable. They can settle calmly for extended periods, which has been a true game changer both at home and when we're out with them. Most importantly, both dogs seem more confident because they understand what is expected of them. My husband and I are also much more consistent and aligned in how we communicate with them and provide the structure they need to be successful. We've enjoyed continuing to work with them every day and building on the foundation Juliet provided. The overall atmosphere in our home is noticeably calmer, more harmonious, and far less frustrating for both us and the dogs. Juliet has also continued to follow up and check in to make sure the dogs are doing well, which is something you don't always see once a training program is finished. It's a tangible sign that she genuinely cares about the dogs' long-term success, and it has reinforced for us that this was absolutely the right investment for our family.

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!!

Quinn worked on potty training, staying on command, crate training, leash walking, and socialization with both dogs and cats. The progress Koda made in such a short time was incredible. Throughout the training, Quinn kept us updated with texts, emails, and videos showing Koda's progress, along with clear, easy-to-follow instructions to help us continue reinforcing the training at home. What truly sets Quinn apart is her passion and genuine love for dogs. She treats every dog as if they were her own, and it shows in the care, patience, and dedication she puts into her work. We highly recommend Quinn to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and effective dog trainer!

Evidently you have to drop off during a very narrow window (7-815) which is great if you live in city limits & between Colfax and North Denver....not as great if you live in a northern suburb & are looking for a day care nearish to downtown. The staff that greeted me was a bit standoff-ish and not super friendly. I booked a drop off on a saturday (or thought i did at least) & has stopped by around 10 ...nope that's when i was informed about the narrow window and that "the app can be glitchy"... Speaking of the app, i was under the impression her first play was free, but was charged $45 for the visit...it's a cool concept but a bit pricey especially for those rare visits when i need something closer to where im going to be instead of her usual day camp.

She was so easy to work with, and was happy to accommodate our Covid-cancelled wedding date, and reschedule us without an issue! She arrived promptly on time, and snuck in without a peep. She was dressed perfectly, and got right to playing with our pup, and making sure he was entertained. She was right there within arms reach during all of the pictures, and was happy to make silly sounds at him in front of all of guests, to get the perfect picture! When he photobombed a family portrait by sprawling out across my train she was right there, getting all of the candid photos and whisking him away with distractions of snacks once everyone got a good laugh. When it came time for the ceremony, she quickly made sure he got a potty break, cleaned up after him and fluffed him back out to perfection. She felt like a member of the wedding party to us, and we could not be more grateful or appreciative. She was happy to deliver him home, and locked up for us, and checked in to let us know everything was set. I HIGHLY recommend her for anything you need for your pups!!
