She was a rehome situation and had been trained to use a liter box in her crate. Meghan from Training Wheels helped me train Lemon to go outside and to LOVE her crate as a safe place and not soil it. Additionally, she helped me train Lemon to be totally focused on me, even with distractions. She sits when asked, she looks to me for approval and consent, and comes when called, no matter what. She is the goodest girl now - not that she wasn't before - she is just so much better now. All of this training was done with a lot of knowledge and a lot of love from Training Wheels. I also use Training Wheels for boarding Lemon. She gets so much positive attention and interaction. I was a bit hesitant at first because there are a lot of big dogs, but the times that I have boarded her, there have been dogs her size to play with and the bigger dogs play in a different area. For sleeping, she gets her own area (with door) with plenty of space for her bed and toys and then an area for going potty, should she need to in the night (Italian Greyhounds have hamster bladders, haha). The building where she sleeps and takes naps is temperature controlled and she is surrounded by other dogs in their areas, so is never alone. There are multiple outside play areas - and they designate which areas are for which size dog, and the dogs are always supervised. Training Wheels staff are always with the dogs and interacting with the dogs. They send pics of my happy dog playing outside and running and having just the best time. I feel that my tiny dog Lemon is very safe and happy there. I can't recommend Training Wheels enough for both training and boarding. Lemon is SO well taken care of and loved.

We cannot thank the team at Training Wheels enough! Oscar, our mini dachshund, has struggled with…read morereactivity around dogs and people. Training Wheels has slowly introduced him to being comfortable and having fun in a small group of dogs. Their skilled trainers have been amazing at showing him all of the positive praise while he is learning. Yesterday I was able to take Oscar (with little sis Olive in tow!) to the dog park for the first time and he had a blast. Training Wheels gave both Oscar and I the confidence to try without fear knowing we had the tools to make it fun and how to realize if it was not. Yay for Oscar and yay for the team at Training Wheels!

I am so glad that I put my two year old Aussie in training with BlackPaw. Prior to his board and…read moretrain he started having reactions to dogs, people, my horse...after training he is so much better adjusted and I have tools to help in any situation. Before training, walking my pup was stressful. He was pulling on me so badly that it made walks stressful. Now, his heel and sit stay make walks so enjoyable! Thank you for helping Oslo and I. Life is just a little more enjoyable now after his board and train!

Our 2-year old Stella had impulse control and leash reactivity issues due to anxiety and fear…read more Taking her to places like an outdoor coffee shop or Home Depot was so frustrating because she couldn't control her excitement and we couldn't control her. So, we just stopped taking her. And, after a very bad reaction to a dog on our walk, where she redirected on me, I would get scared any time we saw a dog when we were out walking and did my best to just avoid dogs altogether. We finally decided we couldn't fix Stella on our own and we decided to take her to Black Paw Dog Training. The training we ALL received has changed our lives! Since her graduation, we have enjoyed Saturday pack walks with other graduates and Stella has done great, walking side by side with other dogs, passing dogs out on the trail and staying in a perfect heel. I never thought it could be possible. She plays ball in a neighborhood park and has perfect recall. And our walks and ball playing in the neighborhood are totally different. She can pass dogs on the trail and just walk on by without losing her mind. And taking her with us to stores is now a fun outing. No more whining. No more pulling. Just a well-behaved pup. Bernadette and Cecilia have opened up a whole new world for us that we never thought was possible. We cannot thank Black Paw Dog Training or recommend them highly enough.

Jessica with Canine Engineering saved my relationship with my dog, and I am forever grateful for…read moreher, and all of her knowledge, support, and help. I adopted a two year old dog from the humane society (Tynkerbell) who had a lot of unnecessary barking behavior, and was unable to be in public around other people, and dogs. I initially signed up for a Petco training class, where we got kicked out, and was then given information for Canine Engineering. The intake process was very quick, and simple. Jessica was in touch with me the day I sent her an email. Honestly, I did not have much hope going into training. My relationship with Tynkerbell wasn't doing well. But, just a week into working with Jessica, we were already learning so much. All of the skills she taught us were helpful, and were working quickly! By the end of our sessions, we had made significant progress, and my relationship with Tynkerbell was SO much better. Many people in our lives even noticed the change/improvement in Tynkerbell! I truly don't know where we would be without Jessica's help. Even after our sessions have been over, Jessica continues to check-in with us. 10/10, I would recommend Canine Engineering to anyone in need of help! I would give her more than five stars if I could :)

Jessica met me and my pup Sapphire exactly where we were and has guided us through dealing with…read moreSapphire's separation anxiety. Over several months, we went from me barely being able to walk out the door for a few seconds to being able to confidently leave Sapphire for several hours. Jessica has helped me identify and address the many factors that affect Sapphire's ability to handle being left alone, has gotten us back on track after setbacks, and has celebrated our successes! Throughout the process, Jessica provided guidance and explanations that clarified and normalized the behaviors I was seeing in Sapphire. Jessica has helped me gain a better understanding of Sapphire's behavior cues and what they mean, deepening my connection to my pup. And all this has been done via Zoom and Google Sheets! Between timely and attentive communication for every training "mission" and weekly, then bi-weekly zoom calls, Jessica gradually gave me more and more control of the decision making process. At this point, I'm relatively confident that I can continue on my own (or with occasional check-ins) and that I understand my dog and her needs. I would recommend Jessica to anyone seeking a competent, knowledgeable trainer to guide the process of understanding and improving dog behavior.

I got Jesse, my English cream golden retriever, when he was 6 months old. He had little to no…read moretraining or socialization. Now at 9 months old, after 6 lessons and weeks of practice, practice, practice, he is a different dog. I never thought there could be such a difference in a dog in such a short time. Jesse was afraid of so much. He had to learn how to go up and down stairs and be comfortable riding in a car. Every noise on a walk startled him -- birds, cars, loud noises, other dogs, people, everything. Walking with him was a horrible experience. He pulled and sniffed constantly, lunged at people and other dogs. Nothing I did was helping because I had no idea of what to do. He wasn't much better in the house. He had no boundaries. He would not stay in one place for any length of time. He couldn't be in the backyard because he constantly ate the mulch and chewed holes in the grass. Thank goodness I found Jack! All of that has changed - in 3 months! Because of what Jack has taught me, I now am able to successfully communicate with my dog and help him gain the confidence he needs to be his best self. His energy has mellowed since he no longer has the need to take control of everyone and everything. His walks are enjoyable - even off leash. Yes, Jesse can be off leash and we hike the trails in Boulder. He comes when called and he will walk beside me with no leash if I ask him to. It's really unbelievable. There are so many things I could tell you about my amazing dog and what he can do. But you can experience it yourself if any of this sounds familiar. If you are willing to put in the time to work with you dog and do what Jack or Alex tells you, I have every reason to believe you will have great results. My daughter worked with Alex and followed her advice. She was certain her dog would never stop chasing rabbits and squirrels or be trusted off leash as well as numerous other problems. After 3 months, she too has had amazing results and now a well-behaved dog. We hike together -- with our dogs off leash. I continue to use the foundation, techniques, and education Jack provided as I continue training with Jesse. There is always room for improvement and new things for both of us to learn. I really could not have managed Jesse without Jack's help. I will always be grateful.

I have a highly reactive/high anxiety German Shepherd. We have spoken with multiple trainers and…read moreshe was even kicked out of one training. Chomps understood the challenge and worked Saphira for 7 weeks. She is such a different dog. Still the same loving dog we always knew but with structure and training it's just amazing. We also learned what to do to keep the training going and make her feel safe. One week after coming home my 2 adult daughter came to visit for almost 2 weeks. We stuck to the plan and today she walked up to my daughter and put her head in her hand. She allowed her to pet her for quite some time. Such a huge thing because we love our dog so much. So thank you Chomps! So worth it.

Chomps Dog Training is fantastic and I *highly* recommend their services. We sent a puppy and a…read moresenior dog to them for training. We sent the puppy because she had a lot of anxiety and was hard to manage/impossible to walk in public. The senior dog was sent because she was territorial towards the puppy and demonstrating anxious behaviors. Nick and his team helped us learn how to manage the pup and better acclimate our senior dog to her new sibling. After training, the puppy was manageable in public and has consistently gotten better in the months since (she left training). The reason Nick and his methods are so good is that they give you the tools you need to train and manage your dog independently. You and your dog leave the program with the ability to continue training - with tools that help you communicate and grow together. It's incredibly valuable and worth every penny!

He even offered to start Milo in their board-and-train program the very next day, which was such a relief.

I truly cannot express the amount of gratitude we have towards K9 Revolution and their team.

So Baci was an indulged as a new puppy who arrived at our home just when our new granddaughter did in a remote city. But once we moved to the Front Range area to be closer to our growing family, Baci needed some training. Isaac was just amazing. Calm, quiet, and easygoing. No reprimands from this guy, just relationship building, establishing trust and clear communication, and persistence. Our dog went from a highly reactive and headstrong little girl to walking on a heal with a loose leash, being able to sit on command, staying out of a designated area, and more. All in just one session. The best part is that her fun and high spirits remain fully intact. This dog is still happy, fun, and loving. Thanks, Isaac. Highly recommend!

Three days into having him and he dragged me down a hill to get to another dog. I love him, but he's an absolute psycho. I called a bunch of trainers to see if someone could help with his dog reactivity. They all flat out refused because of his age and size to train him around other dogs which is what Sheldon needed. After the first two sessions with Isaac where he shared invaluable tips, he allowed us to practice around his dog Finn (the most placid dog). Isaac was patient, calm, and supportive of our journey with Sheldon. He'd even offer guidance if I had a question about the training post-session. We're now almost a year into having Sheldon and I can comfortably walk him around other dogs with some of the cues and tips that Isaac taught me. I can take him to the park and I can have him on a long line. Today we walked passed two off leash dogs playing fetch! I'm truly grateful to Isaac for making our lives and Sheldon's life a lot less stressful.
