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.

What an amazing place, I want to put it out there that I flew all the way from Florida to see these trainers. If that doesn’t make a statement for this review. I don’t know what else would. They were super amazing and taught me so much in so little time. Meg was absolutely amazing—patient, informative, and she follows up and gives amazing feedback and support. I truly plan on returning. If I flew from Florida but you are local… this is a no brainer. Best trainers in the country.

When we brought a new puppy into the house we knew training was a MUST! Front Range K9 Academy was great from the first meeting until gradutation. Most importantly, our dog knows some key obidence skills and been set up for success!

I had previously attempted training with my dog to no avail - after a few years and some frustration, I started to see Jordan at Front Range K9 and so rapidly began to see results. What I appreciated most is that she explained why we were doing things and how it impacted my dog's psychology - the why kept me motivated even through seemingly endless repetition. My dog is so much more behaved on walks and our mutual anxiety of going out is far less. Thank you!

Front Range K9 Academy was a huge help in getting our adopted GSD to become an amazing dog! The overall experience was amazing, and we'll end up working with them in the future to do further training.

Meg was wonderful. She was patient with both me and my lab puppy, Marley. Thank you for all the exercises to train Marley.
