Front Range Dog Training

We cannot give Michael and John enough praise. We brought our dog, Goose, to Front Range Dog Training when he was about 4 months old. Michael takes the time to understand your goals with your dog and understand your dog’s current behaviors. They make sure that you fully understand the training methods, make sure you understand how dogs naturally behave, and make sure you understand ‘why’ the training methods work. We felt 100% comfortable with them during private sessions and their day camps. Our goal was to make Goose off leash trained and couldn’t have gotten to this point without them. Highly recommend them!

I truly cannot say enough good things about Michael. We began working with him when Maple was just 8 weeks old. At the time, he confidently told me she would be fully off-leash trained by 6 months — I’ll admit, I was skeptical! But he was absolutely right. Now, at almost a year and a half old, Maple is exceptionally well trained. She consistently responds to both voice and hand commands and follows instructions beautifully on leash, whether she’s in a heel or on release. Her reliability and responsiveness are a direct reflection of Michael’s training approach. Michael is patient, calm, and incredibly skilled. He has a natural ability to connect with dogs and communicate in a way that truly works. The foundation we built with Maple as a puppy has paid off tremendously, and we are so grate

I cannot express how thankful I am that we found Michael when we got our Bernedoodle Coco almost 5 years ago. He helped to train (and taught us how to train) Coco to heel and respond/listen to us. She has been a joy. When we brought home our Golden puppy (Benny) last November I made an appointment with Michael right away. He is not only an outstanding trainer and incredibly knowledgeable, he is excellent at teaching the owners/parents so we can continue to develop good behaviors with our pups. On top of that Michael is also very kind and really cares. I highly, highly recommend!!!

Michael was recommended to us by a friend who also has a young black Lab. Thanks to Michael’s gentle training our dog Jenny has learned to behave on and off leash. If you need help with training your dog we would encourage you to use Michael’s services.

My wife, Molly, and I had a wonderful time training our 6-month-old puppy, Ernie, with Michael at FRDT. When you meet Michael and see him work with a dog, his intimate understanding of their psychology and needs is immediately apparent. He knows exactly what qualities—good and bad—to hone in on and use to his advantage in helping the dogs (and their owners!) learn how to relate in a healthy, constructive manner. All three of us came away with a better relationship and the skills we need to provide Ernie a happy, fulfilling life. Even in these puppy stages, he’s already able to stay composed at home and with guests and is a delight both on and off leash—all thanks to Michael’s guidance. Better yet, Michael has equipped us with an understanding of the underlying reasons for the various skil
