About Front Range Dog Training

"Well-behaved family dogs are our specialty. Michael Perry has over three decades of training experience and utilizes the most up-to-date scientific methods. Our methods are force-free, pain-free, and fear-free, but without the over-use and reliance on treats. Start your puppy with the only training you'll ever need. MRI research over the last 10 years has really expanded our understanding of how dogs process information. Using this knowledge, along with an understanding of humans, we have a complete system to develop the strongest relationship, impulse control, and calmness in your best friend. "As an experienced psychotherapist and dog trainer, I bring the dog and human worlds together through connection, communication, mutual respect."

I recently enrolled my Labradoodle in Front Range Dog Training and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. After the first day of training I could already see improvement since my dog was calmer and already had some of the basics down. Each week I noticed big improvements and even now that he’s completed the formal training he continues to improve each day. If anyone is thinking about training for your dog I highly recommend Front Range Dog Training.

We took our dog Jameson because he was chewing through everything in our house constantly, despite proper exercise daily. In one week the chewing decreased and by the 3rd session he had stopped completely. Our dog went from easily overstimulated and anxious to calm and content. W…Read full reviewClose full review

We took our dog Jameson because he was chewing through everything in our house constantly, despite proper exercise daily. In one week the chewing decreased and by the 3rd session he had stopped completely. Our dog went from easily overstimulated and anxious to calm and content. We felt like the training was very comprehensive and we were given great resources in support of our needs to help Jameson.

Shortly, after retirement, at the age of 70, we Decided that we would get our last puppies of our lives. But we would need dogs that were under control because we were getting older. We worked with Michael on our springer spaniel starting when he was six months old. And then with Michael again on our lab puppy. At this point they can be walked without pulling us over and, more importantly to us, we could take them off leash and feel confident they would return when called. They are the proud owners of the Boulder open space tags. Thank you, Michael for allowing us in our pups to enter these retirement years with two joyful puppies

I have known Michael Perry with Front Range Dog Training for almost a decade and strongly recommend his company for dog training. Michael facilitates a weekly puppy socialization class at our clinic, Foxtail Pines Veterinary Hospital. These classes are designed to encourage proper socialization of puppies ages eight to sixteen weeks of age. The classes help with healthy development of interdog behaviors, and Michael provides training strategies for owners who have their first puppy, and for those who need a refresher. Michael’s system for training is practical, gentle and very effective. Clients who have had their puppy participate in these classes and those who have hired Michael for more thorough training, have a strong bond with their dog, and it is exceptional how well behaved and relaxed the dog is at the vet clinic as a patient throughout the stages of their life. If you are looking for an exceptional dog trainer or have a new puppy and are interested in participating in the socialization class (even if you are not a client of Foxtail) please reach out to Michael. -Jessica Wydallis, DVM

We had an amazing experience working with Front Range Dog Training. They were always flexible, easy to work with, and incredibly patient in explaining everything in detail. I really appreciated how they took the time to answer all of my questions and make sure I understood the training process. I saw such a drastic improvement in my dog, and it was clear that my dog absolutely loved working with them too. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and supportive dog trainer. We plan to continue working with them with our current dog and our next dog.
