I took a class last winter, hopefully this teacher is no longer there. She was young. I was not…read moreimpressed because she wasn't focused on her students. I should have asked for my money back. She often rushed through things. She didn't have an awareness of how to teach human adults, by saying something , show something, say it again in a different way, show it again slowly. She said it once, showed it quickly then expected us to do it. She would show something, then have us go do it while she talked with her friends she brought in. She didn't pay attention to her students. She only offered help when I was struggling if I asked for her help, she didn't notice when people were struggling. She was stern and not approachable. She said she had lots of experience training. Perhaps that was true but she needs to work on people skills to be a group dog trainer. This intro class was designed to rush us through a program of a bunch of different things every time so that maybe we felt we learned a lot and got our moneys worth, rather than make sure we had important things down really well. The instructor said that after we finished the class we could come in for open play. I called and left a message about this twice but no one called me back. The place was freezing cold in the winter and smelly. I've heard other people like this place, but I won't go back. I also read the review about a woman abusing a dog here and people being rude. Big fat NO.

I was fortunate to watch a class and was super impressed. It is under new ownership - Brad and Kathy are really helpful and friendly. The space is super clean and inviting.

I am looking forward to coming back there for more classes.

They listened to our worries and were extremely communicative. The daycare is lax on pickup and drop off which is nice. When boarding you get a full report card.

Overall we love them and are very happy with our experiences there.

He seems to have developed "stranger danger" as an adult, very suddenly and we've been beside ourselves with worry. We just want Flash to be happy, but it's clear that visitors frighten him now. Jackie has helped us create daily habits and visitor habits that make Flash feel safer and therefore happier. We still have some work to do, but we're learning to deal with his issues with positive reinforcement. It's a lot of work, but so worth it. We're learning training tools that we'll continue to use with all our pets for the rest of our lives! Because, really, we (the humans) are the ones who need training, right? We are working on getting to the place where we can have visitors and not have to worry about their or Flash's safety, but we are making worlds of progress in the meantime!

It wasn't until I met Lisa at All About My Dog that I finally learned the tools that I needed to train my dog. Before meeting Lisa, Max would be aggressive towards other dogs that he would meet mostly because he was afraid and I was not handling the situation correctly. He was also not good on a leash. After working with Lisa, Max and I are now able to meet new dogs with no aggression or fear and he now walks happily on a leash. Thank you Lisa for teaching me the tools needed to train both me and Max!

Our recent experience with Holly and Scott at NOCO Bark Busters was STELLAR! From the moment they…read moreinteracted with both Jack and Bodhi we saw nothing but empathy, caring and results.

They not only speak DOG but understand DOG more than anyone we have ever encountered. We highly encourage you to contact NOCO Bark Busters and even more deeply solidify the bond and trust with your dog family.

At the end of January my boyfriend and I decided to adopt a 9 month old golden retriever mix from our local shelter. After bringing him home, we decided we wanted to find a trainer to help us teach him much more then just sit and stay because we want him to be able to come with us all over. We looked around Loveland and Fort Collins for trainers, and eventually decided that having an in-home trainer would be the best route for us, and that's what led us to Carol. From the very first lesson our dog has shown amazing improvement, and she is always helpful and eager to provide any tips or information she can. We went from having a crazy hyper puppy, who barked and jumped up constantly, to a calm, well mannered, sweet boy who listens to us and respects us. I look forward to every lesson because I know my dog and I are going to learn so much. If you are looking for a trainer I would HIGHLY recommend her and the Bark Busters method, it's worth every penny and more.

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.
