I had Patty come out within the first week and the experience was very enlightening and rewarding. It's not just our dogs who need training, but we as owners need training as well. Patty uses positive reinforcement and maintains a calm demeanor (just like Cesar says - "calm and assertive"). All pet owners owe it to themselves and especially their dogs to enlist in training and the best way to go is one-on-one personalized training. I would definitely recommend Paw and Order.

I have used Patty a few times for my dog(s). I first called on her to help me train a ~1 year old…read moreSaint Bernard foster who was almost surrendered because the owners didn't want to take the time to train this beautifully sweet Saint. She was very stubborn and I disagreed with my mom's preferred method of training using "corrections". And the training I learned/used for my dog wasnt working for Mia since she was so stubborn and my dog was/is so eager to please so quickly picked up training. So Patty came over and gave me a hand and after an hour and half session, Mia was learning how to sit on command. Patty showed me some tips and such on how to get Mia to pay attention and make the sessions "fun" for Mia's breed and to get her attention and motivation up. Mia was then quickly trainable and in the 30 days we were given to get the dog trained, Mia was sitting on her own, doing down stays, and her recall was improving greatly! I have also called Patty for some behavior tests/issues my 2 year old border collie/malinois mix was doing for me. Honey likes to bark randomly and when people come by or simply walk by the house, so called Patty to help me with trying to get Honey to settle down a bit in that regard. I'll probably call her back to help some more once I get into another place without as many dogs and different rules regarding barking. She helped me see that I needed to give honey another distraction when I expected guests so as to help with Honey's anxiety levels which also contribute to her cause in barking. She even let Honey keep the puzzle ball she used to help reward/distract honey while we worked with her. I have also called Patty to help me with Honey's recall. She is one of those dogs where you give her that one little inch, and she will take a foot. :) so have to stay on top of her. Honey is also an agility dog, so I needed to strengthen her recall as we had an attention/recall issue in our first trial. So Patty met me at a nearby park and helped me get honey's attention and recall improved and honey has greatly improved in basic coming when called (she was good before, but like i said, slack off a bit and shell take advantage), and has helped greatly in the agility "ring". Hopefully will pay off when we do our next trial next month (October), where the objective is to at least finish 1 of our 3 events (we didnt get to finish our 2 last time because we ran out of time and/or she got too many "off courses" cause she would get distracted and walk away from me! Overall, I highly recommend Patty. She is very personable, rates are good, uses positive reinforcement (ie treats/rewards) and comes in handy for those "touch ups" that dog's sometimes need. I obviously cant say much in regards to puppies/no training at all and need multiple sessions to learn the basics, but for dogs with some training that need touch ups or behavior consults, Patty is definitely handy. I also like the fact that its one-on-one. So no need to pay for a "session" to acquire the same lessons in a group setting with minimial attention given to you and your dog. She makes sure you know what you are doing and feel comfortable before the end of your session(s). And I have called around to a few places/people and Patty's rates were by far the best for private one-on-one training.

We have also boarded both boys with Olivia and they LOVE it. Her large fenced yard gives them plenty of room to run and they seem very comfortable in her home & around other dogs. She also sends lots of pictures and videos showing what they're up to! Would highly recommend Olivia for both training & boarding.

(other dogsitter cancelled the day before we were leaving) Our pups aren't the easiest, as we were attacked ~6 months prior resulting in one of them being fear reactive to any other dogs, and the other one being anxious/easily overstimulated. She was able to safely keep them separate from her other doggy clients but still have plenty of attention & time in the yard. The space is really a great set up, with several individual little "houses" for dogs to stay in (like the size of a garden shed, climate controlled & set up to be like a home environment) and a nice big yard that looked like a doggy paradise. She regularly sent me updates with photos & videos, and it was clear she knew what she was doing regarding dog behavior & training and handled our pups very well. (She's on Summit Dog Training's short list of recommendations too, so you know she has the right approach.) She was also able to be flexible and keep them 1 extra night when we got stuck in traffic on the way home and didn't get back until late at night, so I could pick them up the next morning instead. This was really a great place, Olivia was a life saver for us in a last minute bind and was wonderful with the dogs, and I'd gladly bring them here again. Thank you Olivia!

I told Alli the ultimate goal would be to take Bailey to work with me each day so she could be enjoyed by the people I work with and work for. But, I'd be happy w just being able to go for a pleasant walk. Alli assured me the best thing for Bailey would be her group class. I was very hesitant (because I didn't want Bailey to bite another dog) but, wanted to give Bailey more freedom and have a more relaxed life w her, so I decided to trust Alli's recommendation and give the class a shot. Bailey was so scared during the first 20 mins of our first class, by the end of that very first class, she was so engaged and excited to please me. She has loved every minute of Alli's class. About 20 other dog owners go to the class I attend w my dog, and I know Alli has 3 other group classes she teaches during the week. It's been fun and AMAZING to see the progress in all of the dogs that come to class week over week. The owners seem happier w their pets, the dogs are calmer and you can see all the personalities emerging as the stress of bad behavior is gone. We have done 6 weeks of classes and have 3 more to go. I felt like I got my money's worth out of the instruction after week 2. I have no doubt that Bailey will be showing up to work with me very soon. Alli really knows her stuff. It's obvious she loves animals and is on a mission to make dog and human lives better. 10/10 recommend Alli for your dog training needs.

Frenchies are well known to b somewhat stubborn and can be a challenge to train. Last week while I was going out our front door she pushed by me and bolted. She loves to run, and ended up across the road and about 50 yards away at the end of our neighbors drive. Knowing I couldn't catch her, I stopped and called her name and the command to come. She immediately turned and ran at top speed back, stopping in front of me. This is due to the training she received and so far she's only been to four sessions. We all love our dogs and view them as members of our household, and as such you owe it to yourself and your dog to have a well trained and behaved animal. Gail has done an excellent job, we like her technique and we would highly recommend her services. John R. Fort Collins

I cannot recommend Beth, Wayne, and Canine Companion Consulting enough…read more We rescued two dogs at once (not something I'd recommend): Shifty, a stray who was adopted and then returned to the shelter for his so-called "high prey drive" (he turned out to be under two years old, not four), and Cera, a four-month-old preventably deaf and blind double merle. At the time, we already had a calm pack of three older dogs, so we thought we were ready. We weren't. Shifty was a whirlwind of anxiety, trauma, and FOMO despite our best efforts with food, routine, and enrichment -- and we had no idea how to communicate with a deaf and blind puppy. Let alone two puppies. We interviewed many trainers -- and I've worked with others in different states -- but Beth and Wayne are better than all of them combined. Truly. They are not only phenomenal trainers but also compassionate, brilliant, and kind humans. From the very first tearful phone call, they met us exactly where we were and gave us hope when surrendering felt like our only option (even though we were against it). They trained us as much as they trained Shifty, and the difference was immediate. Their one-on-one sessions gave us tools to navigate Shifty's trauma, and their puppy school helped us properly socialize him. They even taught us how to communicate with Cera and build commands for her despite her being both deaf and blind. Their facility is gorgeous and expansive -- the first time we visited, Shifty tore around the entire perimeter of the yard in pure joy. We realized then he needed a bigger yard, and their support even helped us navigate moving to Hawaii with five dogs on a plane. They even checked in afterward to make sure it went smoothly, long after our training sessions were finished. Who does that? Only trainers who genuinely care. They also have a huge room when the weather stinks and a cute little store with helpful products. We love using our flirt pole from them! Beth and Wayne go above and beyond. They're honest, compassionate, and endlessly patient. If we still lived in Colorado, we'd invite them over for dinner or board games -- that's how much we adore them. And if we ever need a trainer again, we'd happily work with them virtually over trying to find someone local. They're just that good. Today, as I write this, Shifty is calmly stretched out behind me, paws crossed, at peace -- something that felt impossible a year ago. Our whole family is thriving because of Beth and Wayne. No words will ever fully do them justice, but here's my best attempt: THANK YOU, BETH AND WAYNE. You changed our lives.
