"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 could not recommend Michael highly enough. We began training our puppy with him when she was around 6 months of age. The results we saw at the first meeting were amazing. He is very in tune with dogs, as well as us. Our puppy responded so well to his training methods. In very little time we got heel and come down to the point we feel comfortable at any open space off leash dog area. If you are looking for a kind, caring and effective dog trainer, Michael is for you.

I cannot express how thankful I am that we found Michael when we got our Bernedoodle Coco almost 5 years ago. He helped to train (and taught us how to train) Coco to heel and respond/listen to us. She has been a joy. When we brought home our Golden puppy (Benny) last November I made an appointment with Michael right away. He is not only an outstanding trainer and incredibly knowledgeable, he is excellent at teaching the owners/parents so we can continue to develop good behaviors with our pups. On top of that Michael is also very kind and really cares. I highly, highly recommend!!!

Someone recommended Michael to me when I was walking my dog. From the first session on, it was seriously night and day in regard to how much changed with my dog (in a positive way). Not only did she learn new things and how to act, I got to see first hand on how to do and respond to many things. I am so glad to have found Front range dog training!!

Michael was recommended to us by a friend who also has a young black Lab. Thanks to Michael’s gentle training our dog Jenny has learned to behave on and off leash. If you need help with training your dog we would encourage you to use Michael’s services.

We get comments and compliments multiple times a week about how well-behaved and amiable our dog is. I would recommend Michael to anyone. Dogs do most of their learning in the first 16 weeks, and it's harder to undo bad behavior. We brought Michael in when our pup was just about 10 weeks old, and to this day it's been so worth it.
