We did the board and train for our 5-month old border collie mix with Corin, and he came back a new dog! In 2 weeks he went from pulling us around on his leash to walking in a perfect heel, he has perfect house manners, and he’s making a lot of great progress on his recall.He randomly started struggling with his place command when he got home, and Corin was able to take him from complete aversion to his place to napping happily on it in 45 minutes during a handover lesson.They listen to your main concerns before you come, make unbelievable progress in 2 weeks, and support you with maintaining the training after. I cannot recommend highly enough!
Response from the owner: Thank you for trusting us with your border collie's puppy training, Katie.
Our experience with Pavlov was incredible!!!! We did the board and train program.They were eager to work with my prey driver GSP puppy, and accommodated us greatly! Quinn primarily worked with our dog, and loved our dog as of he was part of the family. They use positive and negative reinforcement, got our puppy on the treadmill, introduced the e collar, and figured out how to get him to heel when he wants to point at everything. The program is comprehensive, filled with socialization. Now we have him back we still have more session with them! Worth every penny.
Response from the owner: Quinn was indeed excited to work with your German short-haired pointer.
Absolutely thrilled with our experience at Pavlov Dog Training!We brought our two Boerboels (South African mastiffs), Kevin and Perry, to Pavlov, and the transformation has been incredible. Madalyn, our trainer, is truly exceptional—one of the most confident and knowledgeable professionals we’ve ever worked with. Her calm, intuitive approach made a lasting impression not just on our dogs, but on us as well.Kevin and Perry light up every time they see her, and their behavior has improved dramatically. As large, powerful dogs, it was especially important to us that they be well-mannered and reliable—especially as we prepare to welcome a baby into our home. Madalyn gave us the tools and confidence to continue reinforcing their training, ensuring they’re not just obedient, but safe and loving family companions. Thank You Madalyn & Pavlov!Angelique & Mike
Response from the owner: Madalyn had fun training your African Boerboels / African mastiffs to walk in a double dog heel. Thank you for sending them to us for dog training camp!
Pavlov Dog Training did a wonderful job in training our Lucy to be a well behaved member of our family. Madalyn taught us as much as she taught Lucy. After three weeks of board and train we all understand how to communicate and get results. We intend to continue to work with Pavlov in the future to keep Lucy on the honor roll. For know, she is a member of the 2025 graduation class. Her picture is attached.
Response from the owner: Douglas, we LOVED working with your handler-attentive British airedale terrier. Admittedly, when we first met Lucy and you for the facility tour, we underestimated her willingness to please. From here forward, we will look forward to working with this unique and eager-to-please breed!
Our experience with Pavlov Dog Training in Denver was nothing short of miraculous! We sent our 8-month-old golden retriever for the 3-week board and train program with Quinn, and I'm still in disbelief at the transformation.When we dropped her off, our pup was a lovable but completely untrained ball of energy - pulling on leash, bolting through doors, jumping on everyone who walked through the door, and treating her crate like it was optional. We were at our wits' end trying to manage her behavior.Fast forward three weeks with Quinn at Pavlov, and it's like we picked up a completely different dog! The change is dramatic in all the best ways. She now:- Walks beautifully on leash without pulling (even with distractions!)- Sits patiently at doorways and waits for permission to go through- Goes into her crate calmly and settles down without fuss- Greets people politely with all four paws on the ground (no more jumping!)- Knows the "park it" command where she goes to her cot and will stay on there until we release herQuinn took the time to thoroughly show us how to maintain the training and answered all our questions. The follow-up support has been excellent too.If you're struggling with an untrained dog and feeling overwhelmed, don't hesitate to contact Pavlov. The board and train program was absolutely worth every penny for the peace and structure it's brought to our household.Thank you, Quinn and the Pavlov team, for giving us the well-behaved companion we always knew our golden could be!
Response from the owner: 🙏
We sent our 7-month-old mixed breed pup to Pavlov Dog Training’s three-week board and train program, and the results have been amazing. He was a bit wild before, but after working with trainer Quinn, he came back with perfect leash manners and a solid foundation of reliable obedience. They even taught him a few “extra” commands, which was a great bonus.Quinn was fantastic—not only during the training itself but also during the follow-up sessions. Her directions were clear, easy to follow, and she made the whole process fun for both of us. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results. Highly recommend Pavlov and Quinn!
Response from the owner: Glad we could help with your rescue pup, Christopher.
