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 completely enjoyed our experience with the Core Obedience training that Jen provided for our now 9 month old Lab/Golden Retriever Mix, Zoe.
The classes are structured such that each class builds on the previous class. After each class, I received an e-mail that provided exercises and video links from the training we received that day. It reinforced the in-person training and enabled us to practice what we learned. I also received a "check-in" e-mail a few days after each class. If I had questions, I would e-mail Jen, who was extremely responsive, which also helped us stay on track.
As an aside, It was very refreshing that the training was not treat-based. A few treats were used as rewards, but the treat was not the focus.
Zoe graduated from the Core Obedience training and we are looking forward to continuing to train with Front Range K9 Academy!

I cannot recommend Front Range K9 Academy enough! We took our two (crazy-ish) dogs in for training sessions with Jordan and Meg, and they were both incredibly knowledgable and helpful!

Our trainer is professional and super knowledgeable! My pup and I are taking our second course. I have a chaotic schedule which made me nervous about committing to classes - of course consistency is the best but we have been able to make things work and I’m grateful for how positive the experience has been! I learn so much each time we go in and the follow up emails are helpful to refer back to for continuing training at home with confidence.

Amazing trainers. The core obedience program was excellent. For the first five weeks, my shelter dog Beau and I had private lessons and then the next four weeks our lessons were with other handlers and their dogs. The sessions were spaced out so that I could work with Beau at our own pace and schedule. Although Beau is not perfect, he is making great strides, and passed the core obedience test. We plan on registering for the advanced obedience class this fall.

I was recommended front range k9 by multiple neighbors for my 1 yr old lab. We did the initial obedience training and not only was she more confident and just an all around better behaved pup, I learned so much as well. Meg and Jordan are both excellent! I have already recommended to multiple friends and I’m also considering signing up for another course.
