FetchMasters, LLC

We started taking our Cattle Dog, Buddy, to Fetchmasters when he was 8 months old. Linda and Tom have put together a program that is effective, and really fun, and it addressed Buddy's issues and needs, along with the specific issues of other dogs in the class. We're amazed at how Buddy is now very good on a leash, he is not nearly as reactive when he sees a squirrel or rabbit, and he will immediately come when he is called from as far away as a few hundred feet! The training has made Buddy a wonderful dog to take to the Cherry Creek Off Leash Park, and we get compliments about how well behaved he is. I HIGHLY recommend Fetchmasters, without hesitation.

I cannot stop recommending FetchMasters enough to absolutely anyone who mentions even having a dog. We went through the Leash Aggression and Reactivity program with Linda and it has made a world of difference in our lives. Our pit bull used to be so reactive that we couldn’t take him for walks because even seeing another dog would set him off and he’s so strong that he was hard to manage on leash. After sessions with Linda, group classes, and hours of working with him at home, we now have a dog that we know can handle almost any situation we could throw at him. We went from not being able to go for walks for fear of seeing another dog to him happily romping off leash with 5 other dogs while visiting family without a single issue or sign of discomfort, nervousness, or reactivity. We signed up for help with his reactivity and came out the other side with a dog who can walk well on a leash, do tricks, relax comfortably around other dogs and new people, and knowledge about dog behavior and training that we’ll carry with us with each new dog we adopt. There’s a lot of shame and guilt that comes with having a reactive or aggressive dog and we were so welcomed without judgement by all of the staff, especially Linda. I cannot recommend or thank FetchMasters enough for literally changing our life with our dog and taking an enormous weight off our shoulders.

We came in a hot mess with 2 German Shepherd puppies. One had been sick & separated from everyone while she recovered from emergency surgery which made her miss socializing with other dogs & humans. Fetchmasters has helped these two gain confidence, self control, & the ability to learn more with distractions all around. We're not at the end of training & who knows when we will be, but in just a few weeks we've seen a complete turn around with our girls & we're no longer a hot mess! Private lessons were great to help fine tune. Tricks class helped build confidence. Group class helps distract while still being able to perform. All of these things are keys to success & we're proof of that. Everyone is so friendly, positive, & helpful. Thank you to everyone at Fetchmasters for such a positive experience & the patience to deal with our hot mess girls 🙃

My dog was a very nervous/under-confident guy which resulted in some reactivity and barking while on leash. FetchMasters did a great job of meeting us where we were at and building from there. The combination of group classes and private lessons really allowed us to hone in on Theodore's obedience while also building his confidence. The trainers are all very patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. Theodore is in a much better place than he was previously and I now have the tools to continue building on the strong foundation that FetchMasters created. :)

So thankful to have found FetchMasters. We have a 1.5 year-old English Pointer that has endless amount of energy and a high prey drive. The number one reason we needed training was because of our pup's horrible recall ability. When asking advice from other pointer owners, they'd often recommend e-collars. My partner and I very much wanted to avoid that route, as we feel as though it would damage the relationship we had worked so hard to build with our independent pup. FetchMasters prides themselves on their ability to train without the use of shock collars, so we decided to inquire more. When we first inquired about FetchMasters training, Tom & Linda (owners) were very responsive and right away invited us to an informational zoom call, to ensure we were a good fit for the program (and vice-versa). We signed up for the Total Dog Program (60-days, 3 private sessions, unlimited group classes). We took full advantage and went to class 3x per week. While they do have distance coaching options, I would really recommend visiting their facility in Bennett. It is the perfect training environment for our very distracted dog--if your dog obeys your commands here (with other dogs, birds, goats, mini-horses, etc on premises), then I'm convinced they will obey your commands in other highly distracting environments. So impressed with the staff here at FetchMasters. A special shoutout to our Trainer, Linda. She provided us with a wealth of information during our private sessions and also kept a close eye on our pup during group classes and would tailor the exercises if we were struggling/were in need of a more advanced challenge. If you are committed to your pup, listen closely to trainers and complete "homework" assignments during off days, I am convinced you will see noticeable results within the first 60 days, just as we did. And not only obedience improvements, but the relationship with your dog will improve drastically! Thank you, FetchMasters for all you've done for us!
