Our Training Philosophy:

Dog Training is a smart decision. But choosing the best method of training for you and your dog can be confusing.

Our philosophy is simple.

Most 'problem behaviors' that owners report are actually

normal

anine behaviors

that don't fit into a human

household.

2. Correcting

these

normal canine behaviors

is unfair to the dog, frustrating to the owner, and just doesn't give

lasting

results

3. TEACHING the owner and the dog NEW behaviors improves the relationship, controls aggression, assists with

problem solving, and produces

enduring

& reliable

results.

At Front Range K-9 Academy, we focus on using a dog's natural drives and instincts to teach you the secrets of
professional dog trainers and handlers, and show you how to communicate with your dog!

In our private training classes, we incorporate our own demo-dogs into the process, so you get all the benefits of
distraction proofing and socialization, plus courses exclusively designed for you and your dog.

In our Semi-private classes we never have more than 6 student dogs per class, so you still get the benefits of individual
attention, and your dog gets to practice around other dogs.

We teach you how to use verbal rewards and humane corrections to get the best results. Instead of food treats, we
encourage verbal and physical praise as a reward.

And yes, we do teach you how to correct your dog - closely mimicking the way another dog would give a correction. We do
not advocate striking, or kicking your dog. We do not endorse harmful or unwarranted corrections.

Why do we train the way we do? After 18 years, and approximately 3000 dogs, we've found it really works!
