I had called him in the morning to get a quote - his professionalism and empathetic energy immediately made me feel at ease. We ended up needing his help late that night. I wasn't sure if he would be able to help us, as late as it was, but he responded quickly and was at our house as fast as he could be. The entire experience was very calm, as he walked us through the entire process. It was peaceful and reassuring in a time that could have easily been chaotic and traumatizing. We can't recommend Dr Kuban enough.

The vets I called lacked the sympathy and understanding. It seemed to be more of a business deal instead of the important last day for me and my pup. When I discovered CK9 veterinary, I called and talked to Dr. Clint, he was VERY sympathetic and calming. Just speaking with him gave me the peace I needed to ensure my dog was going to go in peace. On the day I decided to put my dog down, I called Dr. Clint and had a hesitation and ended my call before he answered. I received an immediate call back with reassurance and sympathy. There was no rush with Dr. Clint. Dr. Clint took the time to ensure I understood the process. He allowed me to walk out at anytime if needed. He provided so much comfort on what was the hardest day I've had to go through. Dr. Clint personally brought me back my paw print in between his busy day. Couldn't recommend Dr. Clint and his services enough. If you are on the fence about at home final care, I promise you - Dr. Clint is your guy. He cares more about you and your pup than you could imagine.

Our experience with Bruce at Dog Behaviors Denver has been absolutely phenomenal. We have a…read moreShepherd/Cattle Dog mix (high energy, high intelligence), and before meeting Bruce, we had tried multiple trainers, most of whom were only okay. Initially, we knew some basic commands, but the biggest struggle we could not overcome was our dog's obedience or reactivity concerns. Before Bruce, our dog did not do well with other dogs and people on walks, and guests couldn't come to our home due to fear of being accidentally hurt by him. Our lowest point was when our boy bit a lady at a local Farmer's Market, where we were attempting to do some training with him, and he became startled. We utilized as much of the training we had worked on with other trainers, but it wasn't enough. That's when we called Bruce. Here's our experience: at the initial meeting, we were very impressed with Bruce's resume and we could tell by his skill-set that he would be able to turn our boy around. Bruce had over 15 years experience working with dogs who were relinquished due to aggression or behaviors at a local humane society, turning them into confident, obedient and adoptable dogs. Not to mention, he also trained in Germany for 3+ years overseas with a military-style training for police dogs. Bruce uses a combination of high-drive reinforcement and timely corrections One thing to keep in mind though, you get out what you put in. If you aren't willing to do the work, Bruce might not be the right guy for you. We were pretty motivated and found a lot of success with Bruce. Within the first few sessions, we saw noticeable changes in our dog's behavior; he was gaining confidence through the consistency and training Bruce taught us about. Bruce's ability to fine-tune all the mixed signals we were giving AND giving us detailed explanations of why they were important to correct, completely changed everything for us. He even explains the science behind some of the techniques, which we appreciated. Our closest family and friends knew all the struggles we had experienced with our boy before Bruce. They have been so impressed with how much progress our dog has made. We would absolutely recommend Bruce to anyone needing dog training. You will be able to tell the passion and love for what he does the first time you meet him!

Bruce's guidance and tools gave us the confidence to support our pups and develop their improved behavior. He also helped us understand the underlying rationale on the tools we learned. Both of our guys have been so much better, well behaved and more at ease. We were even able to take our Grey to a fun dog run and he was one of the most well mannered dogs! We honestly can't believe the dramatic change in our dogs. Thank you Bruce!

I love these guys. I was/am new to rescuing, and the first few weeks with my pup were stressful to…read moresay the least... mostly because I didn't have the right education or understanding of working with a rescue, nevermind a Working Breed (the rescue had completely mislabeled his paperwork, but I love him with my whole heart nonetheless). After calling every possible training facility and trainer in the West Metro region, expressing major concern about Shadow having possible aggression issues, Jon + Judson + Blaine very patiently heard me out, answered every question I had, put my mind at ease, and also showed me that he does not in fact have aggression issues, just had some fear and needed to have his confidence built up. This was a stark contrast to a "professional trainer" (I will NEVER do business with nor recommend Canine Dimensions, particularly Summer Rhodes) who basically told me: (1) my puppy's behavior was beyond unnatural, and (2) I was not the right person for this dog, which was devastating to hear. Turns out my pup is a total love bug, very intelligent, and these guys were and are critical to my boy's development and learning. Thank you guys!!!

I can't say enough good things about Sit Means Sit in Littleton! From the very first session, the…read moreteam was incredibly professional, kind, and genuinely invested in helping both me and my dog succeed. Judson and Blaine were absolutely amazing -- patient, knowledgeable, and so good at explaining each step of the training process. They took the time to understand my dog's personality and tailored the sessions perfectly. You can really tell they love what they do and care deeply about the dogs they work with. In just a short time, I saw such a positive change in my dog's behavior. Walks are more enjoyable, recall is so much better, and our bond feels stronger than ever. The whole experience was worth every penny, and the ongoing support from the trainers has been awesome. If you're looking for results and a team that truly goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Sit Means Sit in Littleton especially Judson and Blaine. They're the best! Thank you guys so much !

Ashley and Ryan amazing! We adopted a very sweet female pit bull, Angel, that had major anxiety…read moreissues and for some reason was afraid of my teenage son. This poor girl was afraid of just about everything! The Rescue recommended that we give Ashley a call. Best decision ever! Ashley came to our house with Ryan for an evaluation and met our pup. She observed Angel in action and listened to our concerns and instantly knew that Angel just needed to work on her confidence. We arranged for weekly training sessions where we would learn a different command(s) each week and practice it throughout the week. In the middle of the training schedule, Angel had a week of stay and train with Ashley and learned so much in that one week! The training has made an incredible difference and she can now walk through a busy store, willing climb into the car, sit/down/stay in her place command (her favorite), heel when on a leash, play at the dog park and not bark excessively at the doorbell. Angel learned quickly under Ashley's expert guidance. It's incredible to see how much a little confidence can change a dog's life. I recommend Denver Dog Training because of how knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible they are. Ashley really makes you feel like she cares about you as the owner. She also strives to help your dog work on whatever specific issues or problems it has. It is not a "one size fits all" approach and she really works to make sure your dog is getting the specific training it needs.

We recently adopted a Great Dane from a rescue organization who had been in four different homes in…read moretwo short years, with little to no training. Sasha had no confidence, was extremely leash reactive and showed a lot of aggression towards other dogs and some people. She weighs more than I do, and I was very concerned that I wouldn't be able to control her while on walks if she decided to take off after another dog or bunny (she LOVED to chase bunnies!). We found a trainer in Ft. Collins that works specifically with Danes who are reactive and anxious; however, the timeline for her training schedule would have taken over 3 months or more, and it scared me that Sasha might bite another person or dog while we progressed through her training. A good friend of ours, who lives in Virginia, (yes, Virginia) highly recommended Denver Dog Training. His son used Denver Dog Training and after watching the video of the dog, named Chaos, and after talking with Ashley, we immediately set up a time to put Sasha in the "Stay and Train" program. Ashely did an amazing job and her philosophy of incorporating training into daily life worked spectacularly. After three weeks of training Sasha, and our entire family, Sasha is a much happier dog and has an amazing amount of confidence. She easily walks with us, both on and off leash, stays in a down/stay and is much calmer around the house. I no longer fear walking with her and feel confident taking her into stores and among other dogs. After three short weeks, she easily passed her Good Citizen test. We will be recommending Denver Dog Training to all of our friends and believe that anyone who places their family member in Ashely and Nate's capable hands will get the dog they've always wanted.

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!

The board and train sessions are exactly what we need and are always grounded in real-life situations, so the training translates seamlessly into everyday life. I trust Ruby and her training completely and genuinely love the relationship and foundation Quinn has helped build for both of us--we are so grateful for everything she has done for Ruby and me in helping shape a happy, well-trained Golden.

This is a dog that would be halfway down the block if he slipped or broke his collar. We've also seen how much more confident and happy Cheddar is after his training. We can let him off knowing he will come back every time, and we're now even considering obedience competitions. We can't thank Randy enough for everything he's done for us.

I never write reviews -- too busy, too much trouble, nothing much to say, you get the picture. But…read morethis time I HAVE to share just how FABULOUS Drew is. WOW -- I call him the magician, but he's even more than that: HE'S A GODSEND!! We have a new Golden Retriever puppy, Pisko, and started working with Drew almost immediately (e.g., private one-on-one lessons before Pisko had even finished all of his shots, puppy manner classes, two-week boarding school, etc.) DREW has an exceptional rapport with dogs, a true gift for teaching (both animals and OWNERS), and a wonderful sense of humor. He also listens closely to what YOUR specific goals and needs are, and tailors your training experience to meet those objectives. I could go on an on, but the bottom line is that DREW IS THE BEST TRAINER around!

We researched dog trainers and went with a large company with near to perfect reviews. While we were not displeased with our 6 week service from this other company, there was simply something missing. I could not put my finger on it until I met Drew. I found Drew on NextDoor as a recommendation to another family in the University/PlattPark/Wash Park area and immediately reached out to him. Drew was very responsive and immediately took time getting to know our family's goals for dog training. From the moment Drew entered our home, we knew that he would be part of our family in training our Golden Retriever puppy. Drew's mannerisms, training regime, and positive presence immediately shined and we knew Drew was our "Dog Whisperer". He is so very knowledgeable and is truly a natural with dog training. My husband and I were beyond impressed. Drew also is an educator for the University of Denver School of Social Work graduate students teaching them as canine interventional specialist. Being a Pediatric ICU nurse for many years and seeing how dogs can truly impact a child's wellness state, I can tell you these programs are amazing. For Drew to be the educator of such a program speaks volumes to his training program. We truly look forward to the future with Drew and our Golden Retriever as we know great things are ahead of us with Drew at the helm!
