Questions & answers
From Google
What people have asked about this business.
How much work do I have to do?
That depends on you and your dog. However, most owners find that if they work with their dog for at least 20 minutes, 2 times a day, they will see remarkable results.

We use a 'motivational' dog training approach. This method uses a combination of Traditional training and Positive Reinforcement training - tailoring programs to fit each individual dogs' temperament and needs.
We use a variety of training equipment - depending on what will work best for each dog and owner team.
Motivational Trainers reward through praise, treats, toys - whatever works for the owner and dog.
They also give leash guidance to the dog and owner to stop or control problem behaviors that are destructive, annoying, or dangerous.

Weekly or every-other-week training sessions generally work best, but we know sometimes life gets hectic. So, we try to be as flexible as possible with meeting your scheduling needs.

While it's impossible to estimate cost until we meet your dog, we have programs from around $900 to $1800 - completely depending on what we're working on with your dog. Our goal is to find the service that works for you and your individual needs. We also offer financing through PayPal Credit.
Ask yourself this: How much does a waste of time & money cost? Amateur dog trainers usually charge around $400 to $600 per 6 week course. They do NOT offer specialized behavior modification methods. Imagine paying good money and then your dog is more aggressive, destructive, obnoxious, and disobedient than before.
Over 50% of the dogs we see each year have already been to large group training classes with an amateur dog trainer. Another 30% of the dogs we see each year have been to other private trainers or board and train programs, and in some cases have spent thousands of dollars on methods that just don't work. Training without a good foundation doesn't give reliable, predictable results.

We are so happy that we did our training at Front Range K9 Academy! We already saw results after the first week and even though we didn’t believe that our puppy would be capable of all the criteria in the Core Obedience Program, … the guidance is so strong and professional, ….that if you DO the work, the results are unbelievable. We were also very happy with our trainer Roger that was very sweet to our little girl.

I cannot say enough good things about Front Range K9 Academy, and specifically Meg! She has given us the tools to be consistent with training our 1 year old golden retriever & our dog has been responding beautifully! We started our training journey with a different company that left us frustrated with no results. We are SO happy we gave K9 Academy a chance. We are halfway through our program and it already has shown to be 100% worth the investment! Thank you Meg! Now my golden can be at work with me & I don’t have to worry about her at all 🩷

Meg was AWESOME! I wasn’t sure what to expect with my pomskies and Rattlesnake training and I walked away extremely pleased! If you hike or go to the dog park a lot, I highly recommend Meg’s training! Definitely a wonderful avoidance training for all of our curious furry friends! Thank you Meg! -Masha and Kai

The rattlesnake avoidance training was effective immediately after the first attempt. For those worried about the use of a shock collar, it was very quick (one time) without any trauma to my dog, especially compared to the risk of a snake bite.

Megan was utmost levels of professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her for rattlesnake aversion training for your pup. Her ability to not only understand dog behavior and motivations, but translate it into meaningful terms for the owners is invaluable.
