FirstBarkThe experience was great for both me and my dog. The trainer explained everything really well and in full detail. Meg was great with both the dog and the handler.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat 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.

What training methods & equipment do you use?
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.

How often do we come to training classes?
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.
Community answer · Front Range K9 Academy · 2023-09-21
How much does dog training cost?
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.

How long do training sessions last?
Training sessions are generally 30 to 90 minutes, with 1 hours being the most common.

My young Border Collie and I attended training sessions with the main goal of teaching her not to pull on the leash. Our trainer, Meg, was great — calm, attentive, and explained everything very clearly. The sessions were comfortable and stress-free for my dog. We started to see progress during the training, and our walks have become much more enjoyable. Overall, it was a very positive experience for both me and my dog

We are so grateful we came to Front Range for our dog training! Meg was professional, concise and took us through her training plan (very well thought out, with step-by-step progression) clearly, giving us the best chance of success! Our dog, Zeni, has excellent recall now, and we are confident in the training, which allows us to enjoy the beautiful hiking opportunities in CO. Thanks so much, Meg…and Front Range K9 Academy! We recommend them to anyone…and actually have done so on the trail when folks admired the great recall we had with our dog!
THE best training we could of ever hoped for. Our 2yr old Pug went through his terrible twos out of no where on us.

THE best training we could of ever hoped for. Our 2yr old Pug went through his terrible twos out of no where on us. Our walks were unmanageable and although yes a reactive Pug was just greated by everyone with laughs. We werent having fun. He had a blast during his courses. The Training was strict but exactly what we all needed and now he's a model citizen! Jordan was an amazing trainer and we would recommend her to everyone!

Jordan was simply amazing at helping me train my dog, Walter! I constantly have people stop me on walks to ask how he’s so well-trained both on and off leash. My answer is always the same: Jordan at Front Range K9 Academy. What I loved most about the training is that she didn’t just train Walter, she trained me too. She made sure I fully understood what to do, why it mattered, and how to keep reinforcing the work at home. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results.
