Our Difference

At Aspen Grove, we bring Fort Collins dog training to a new level. Our trainer, Mandy, has many years of professional dog training experience. She is also a certified veterinary technician, which means there is nothing she knows better than dogs. With education and expertise in dog behavior, training, and medicine, Mandy and our capable staff are able to provide you with the highest level of professionalism the industry has to offer.

Whether at home or in our office we strive to set up your dog up for success. Our trainer uses lure training with positive reinforcement. When using lure training, your dog will successfully modify their behavior without the need for outside equipment, such as a remote collar or a clicker. Through our training, the bond between you and your dog will grow as you develop more effective communication and body language. You'll discover how to make learning fun for your dog!

Unlike traditional dog training, we only charge for the lessons you schedule. We have options available to meet both your budget and your goals.

Dog Training at Our Boarding Facility 

Training your dog while they are boarding provides a unique and effective environment because it offers just the right amount of distraction. Your dog will learn how to mind his manners in a real-world setting when there is outside stimulation that can be distracting.

In-boarding training starts out with a 30-minute behavioral consultation between you and our trainer. During this consultation, we'll establish reasonable goals that can be met during the duration of your dog's stay and the number of lessons required to meet those goals. When you pick your dog up, you'll have a progress report and an appointment with the trainer to go over the home plan to continue training.

Cost:

  • Consultation Fee $30
  • In-Boarding Lessons (1 hour each) $40: Total cost is determined by the number of lessons that you request or are needed to meet behavioral goals.
