Chris and his team at Pinnacle K9 have been the most wonderful to help us personally learn our training tools for our wild english setter. He is so well mannered now and we use those same training tools with all of our foster dogs to assist them with being ready for their furever families.
Above & Beyond English Setter Rescue recently took in 20 dogs from a hoarder here in colorado and these dogs needed somewhere to stay while we got them ready for the transportation to their fosters. Pinnacle K9 assisted us with kenneling these dogs to help them while in transition to their new families.
I cannot speak highly enough of the team at this dog training & boarding facility, they are wonderful and are so knowledgeable with dogs, behaviors, and training needs.

Pinnacle was amazing when taking care of my Ollie. I have never boarded him before and was very anxious and nervous about leaving him, but they reassured me he would be well taken care of and boy, was he! I will definitely be using pinnacle in the future for our sitting needs. Thank you again! ❤️

We’re so grateful to the entire team at Pinnacle K9 Training—especially Bethany!
Our newly adopted 5-year-old German Shepherd came to us with known separation anxiety, and we were genuinely concerned about how he would adapt to a new environment. Thanks to Pinnacle K9’s compassionate and expert training approach, he transitioned into our home more smoothly than we ever imagined.
Bethany, his trainer, was phenomenal—not only did she work patiently and skillfully with our dog, but she also provided us with one-on-one guidance to ensure we could confidently maintain the commands at home. Her support has made all the difference.
The strong foundation they provided in basic obedience not only helped with the transition but also sparked a beautiful transformation in our dog. We’ve seen a new level of confidence and calm emerge in him—something we hadn’t seen before—and it’s been a joy to witness him step into this next chapter of his life with us.
We highly recommend Pinnacle K9 Training to anyone looking for a team that truly cares about both the dogs and the families they support.

Great experience. We took our recently rehomed adult German shepherd here for the board and train. We couldn’t be happier with the experience. It was the best thing to help our dog transition to his new life and get the skills he needs for all the adventures to come. Thanks especially to Addy for her great customer service. And to Bethany for working so diligently with our dog. We will definitely be back for more.
