Wrangling our adult dog, the new puppy, and learning how to be parents was incredibly stressful. Our dogs are now PERFECT on a leash, and everyone in the household is happier! She helped us with leash manners, off leash recall, taught the dogs how to be calm and go to their places, helped with rough play between them, jumping on people, eating foreign objects, you name it!! We also saw results FAST. Our boys responded incredibly well to her methods! Best of all, the dogs seem so much calmer in general. We just had a UPS truck park next to us on a brewery patio & they didn't go nuts for the evil delivery man - this would have been unheard of just weeks ago!

Horrible experience! Our dog ended up sick and abused…read more We wanted to take the Royal Gorge train last Thursday and called Country Kennels. I spoke to the owner, who said she would be out of town, and her daughter would be the one doing intake and caring for our dog. She seemed great on the phone. We were a little put off by the state of the building, but we left our ten pound Yorkiepoo with the seemingly nice daughter. She said he would mostly be staying in the cat room since he was little and there were no cats staying with them. We went and had a fantastic time on the train, and the daughter walked up exactly at the arranged pick up time. Then it got weird. She said we would have to come call him because he was refusing to come out of the cage. My partner went in there, and he was cowering in the back, and she had to drag him out. We have never seen him act like that. We noticed right away that his face was covered in poop, like someone had shoved his face in a pile. We have never seen him intentionally do something like that in the three years we've had him. When we cleaned him up, we also noticed his face was scratched. When my partner asked what happened, the daughter shrugged and said he got dirty. We hightailed it out of there and begged the pet store in town to let us use their grooming station. We had planned to drive back to Denver and had dinner plans with family that we had to put off. Our clothes and car were covered in poop, and he cowered in the seat shaking the whole ride. He then had diarrhea all over our van and the hotel room that night, and we spent the night cleaning out the car in the Walmart parking lot with a new carpet cleaner. He was sick for a few days after and it took him a few days to calm down and act like himself. I hope other pets have been treated more kindly and not as negligently as ours. It put a huge damper on our trip seeing our fur baby so sad. Skip this place. They shouldn't have a kennel license.

This place was fantastic to us and our 4-legged pals last week. We were camping at Indian Springs…read moreCampground and wanted to go rafting but didn't want the pooches to come aboard the raft with us nor did we want to leave them in the heat of our tent or car. Voila -- thanks to a referral from Barb at the pet shop on Main Street, we found Country Kennels. Their drop off hours are 9-10A during the week and pick up from 4-5, and Sunday by arrangement. Our River Runners raft trip was great and our dogs had a fun, cool place to play. Easy to find on Four Mile Parkway and the owners were as nice as could be. It was $28 for our big lab and pug together. ARF.

I've been coming to the area for nearly 10 years and have visited people staying at this ranch on…read moremany occasions, but last summer was the first time I actually stayed here. How you rate a place like this is super subjective, so I'm going to do my best to paint a picture. It won't be 5 stars for everyone but this place has a good mix of 'more than the cheap places' while being 'way cheaper than the fancy places.' The best thing about this place is you pay by the day, not by the week. While a weekly rate can definitely work in your favor, it can also make a 4 day trip or a 9 day trip way more expensive than it has to be. This is a really convenient option that I like a lot! They also allow pets and a lot of places around here do not. A week in August for 4 people and 1 dog in a 3 bed cabin was $825, a steal! For the price, you are getting more than you do with a lot of the nearby affordable ranches and campgrounds. Where other places charge more to get a cabin with a bathroom and shower, or the only electric thing in the cabin will be the lights and fridge, or may only have primitive cabins, Freemons is very accommodating. Every cabin has a restroom and shower, every cabin has additional amenities you won't find in others like a heater, coffee makers, microwaves, toasters. They also have free WiFi! Those are a real difference between getting away and roughing it. Things that won't appeal to everyone and is the difference between this place and fancier accommodations: though they clean the cabins, everyone is responsible for cleaning their dishes and removing trash. Therefore you may find some of the dishes were not cleaned to your standards or some of the cookware not up to what you have at home. If you spend time in cabins, this is old hat. The beds aren't all that comfortable, but the one we stayed in was firm enough to prevent too many back issues. Most beds in the cabins will be fulls with some queens, but nothing larger. Of course I missed my king size bed at home, but that's another first world problem that you'll expect if you frequent cabins. I did find cabin 8 to have a very cramped layout, particularly the bathroom which seemed slanted and had a small shower meant for taller people (I got sprayed right in the eyes every shower and emerged looking like a vampire). However, I have visited in other cabins (can't recall the numbers) with more spacious layouts, better hot water heaters and/or more privacy. They have options, though those options might sleep less people or have other trade offs. Something rather impressive about #8 was it had one of the best kitchen layouts I've seen in cabins and a very large kitchen table where many a card game was played late into the night. It balanced with my previous experiences at other establishments quite well. Freemons is also a quick walk across the bridge to their general store that also sells delicious burgers and ice cream and forgotten supplies. They also have horseback rides you can sign up for. Also, they have a small stream running through the property so you can still fish if you can't make it to the more popular spots on a particular day. The only thing I like less than other places I've stayed is the reservation experience. It's a family place and Starr is the only one who handles the reservations, and she's busy, so making the plans and getting to find out which cabin is available takes weeks longer here than at other places. I prefer being able to call, find out all my answers at once and make the arrangements. But hey, some places deal by mail only, at least she uses email! You will need to provide a $100 deposit in advance (by April 1st for our August trip) and pay the rest when you arrive. That's super reasonable. You will be mailed instructions during the early winter months. In the past I've always come in July and that month books up much faster than August, but you still need to plan in advance. It wasn't crowded at all anywhere we went during this time, which was awesome. Compared to other vacations where you pack your clothing and toiletries, the only difference is you need to bring towels and your food supplies. That's easier than needing to bring appliances and cookware or make your own fires at other places. It doesn't matter what your first world outlook is though, that view is spectacular and this made for a very peaceful and well rested vacation, which I very much needed. Always 5 stars in my book!

At 12 months she began exhibiting signs of resource guarding and the intent to be the house alpha. Her positive treat based reinforcement group training wasn't getting us to where we needed and luckily we found Kaleb/All-Pro. She (and we) has been receiving personalized training with Kaleb since August 2025. She has come so far, and my (20 year old) daughter is doing the work needed as this is a high energy dog who needs more activity. Kaleb has introduced her to a variety of environments to build her tolerance and adaptivity. We've also used Kaleb for boarding several times now, and our experience is that he treats each pet as if it were his own. The location also provides plenty of room for the pets to receive nice outdoor supervised play time. All-Pro is definitely our go to! My only hesitation about writing this review is that I might struggle with availability for training and boarding as others seek out All-Pro. Pro-tip: Remember, as with any relationship you have to put in the work - and our pets for many of us are family

After that, she became aggressive, reactive, and completely stopped listening to any commands. We were heartbroken and unsure if we'd ever get our sweet dog back. Enter Kaleb. From day one, he was professional, knowledgeable, and confident in his approach. He took her in for a month of intensive board-and-train, and we just got her back -- the difference is night and day. She has done a complete 360. She's calm, well-mannered, responsive to commands, and -- most incredibly -- she can now be around other dogs with no issues at all. Kaleb even brought out other dogs to test her reactions, had them barking and creating distractions, and she never once broke focus. His training stuck, and it's clear he put in real work, care, and consistency. We can't thank Kaleb enough for giving us our girl back. If you're struggling with behavioral issues and feel hopeless, trust Kaleb -- he truly knows what he's doing. Worth every single penny. Highly recommend!
