Terroux Dog Training

We love Terroux training! We rescued a gorgeous Golden Retriever puppy from Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies, and they had put a packet of information from Terroux Training in our folder when we took our puppy home. I was reading it every day like it was the Bible. :) My husband and I have had dogs before, but as adults we both had never taken a new puppy home. It was so overwhelming, and the information in the packet was so helpful that it got me curious to Google Terroux training. I realized they were local trainers, and got our boy into the Puppy Basics class as soon as he was healthy enough to go. We are finished now and need to schedule him for their next level - which is the Basics classes. Tiffany is wonderful, we loved Charlene who led a lot of the classes. Our boy had so much fun! If you love puppies, you will also melt at the puppy class to see all the other cuties romping around. It's the most natural antidepressant in the world! Ha! I feel the value was tremendous for the price. Instructional videos and TONS of information packets to print at home - plus the socialization each Saturday. They answered a lot of my stressed out emails outside of the classroom as well. And most importantly, they eased my anxiety about doing the right thing with our puppy. If our dog has the nature for it, we are hoping to get him through the program to do Canine Good Citizen with them. We HIGHLY recommend Terroux training!

Honestly, it can feel a little weird at first, and they have their methods that may not feel comfortable to you. The videos can be a bit dry and/or repetitive as well. But when it comes right down to it, two things give them five stars without hesitation. Number 1, it just works. If you work with your dog, and know what your dog needs and why, your dog will learn. And these guys know all the secrets. Number 2, they really care. They want you to succeed. We had to miss a class because of our dog's spay surgery, and when we came back the next week we felt overwhelmed and unprepared. We asked to postpone the final class and for some advice. They gave us advice and a ton of flexibility to pick a different testing week further out, and a makeup for the final class again so we could make sure we were ready. Our dog did great, and we are so happy with her (most of the time - she is still a puppy). Even after the class was over, we emailed with another issue and Ted sent us a detailed list of steps we could follow to with through it. That's pretty cool.

Love Terroux Dog Training! They are patient and positive and so knowledgeable. We’ve owned dogs before and I worked at a vet clinic through college so I thought I knew a lot already but it was an awakening to learn that I was doing a lot things incorrectly and also nice to affirm that I was doing some things well. Ted explains the why to their training method often including the pov from the dog so a lot of things just makes sense. If you’re looking for a hip new fancy space then this place isn’t for you. Don’t get me wrong, their training space is roomy and friendly but it’s not designed to impress. It’s simple, clean, and not distracting for the dogs which is ideal. Terroux Dog Training was recommended to us by a good friend and we’ll be recommending them to other friends. There’s a reason they have been around for so long! 🙌Photo of our very proud 7 month old boy graduating basic obedience training. He was quite pleased with himself. 😄😄😄
