We cannot say enough great things about Pavlov. We took our 1 year old doberman, Biscuit, to the Board & Train Obedience Level 1 to work on leash manners and responding to commands. Our trainer, Quinn, was amazing! She communicated with us, sent pictures & videos, and was so helpful at our home & park training sessions. You could tell Quinn cared for and loved Biscuit. She even extended her training a few days when trainers were out sick. Biscuit's transformation truly changed our lives. We are able to actually enjoy our walks and our home is no longer chaos! We will definitely be returning to Pavlov in the future!
I cannot say enough good things about Pavlov! When I initially rescued a dog when I was 20 years old, one of my biggest regrets is that I had never gotten him properly trained and we dealt/managed/coped with his behavioral issues his entire life. When I got Griswold (the noodle dog in the photos), I swore to myself I was going to get him professionally trained so that we could both live higher qualities of life.I am a veterinarian and while I am great at managing medical cases, I do not excel at dog training- the hows, the whys, the whens, etc. Quinn was the primary trainer for Griswold and she did an amazing job at teaching him how to be an upstanding gentleman of society AND also teaching me how to maintain his manners. I do not think that Griswold would have excelled had I also not been trained on how to continue to instill his lessons.They are reasonably priced for the level of services they provide and the quality of care the dogs receive. Griswold was exhausted from constant mental stimulation and physical exercise after playing with the other dogs, which was a wonderful break for me!I will recommend them to anyone seeking out dog training. I know Quinn can easily handle Griswold as well as more difficult behavioral cases. I appreciate all that she, and the rest of the team at Pavlov, do for our canine friends!
Response from the owner: Quinn talks a lot about your cattle dog mix, Griswold. Thank you for trusting us with your sweet boy, Kelsey.
After researching hours and visiting several training facilities in the greater Denver area, I had finally come across a training facility that I truly felt comfortable leaving my 1 year old lab (Goose) at. Being skeptical of other board and training facilities, the team at Pavlov was kind enough to give me a tour of the facility prior to signing any paper work and I found this location to be perfect as they implement more of a "home-like" environment, which was a very unique approach compared to the other options I was looking at. I felt very comfortable leaving my sweet boy with the team at Pavlov!Goose had worked with Jason and was enrolled in the board and training program for two weeks. Jason would provide me with detailed bi-weekly updates that often included videos of his progress (which was fantastic to see)! He went from a puppy that had always needed to be glued-to-the-hip and did not have the best of listening skills, to now an obedient best friend who has mastered all the essential commands you will ever need a dog to have. Jason was always very helpful and clear when it came to follow-up lessons after the board and training.The results were so great and I never thought this dog would ever be able to eventually be off-leash trained, but here we are now!I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Pavlov Dog Training for anyone in the greater Denver area! Keep up the great work!!!
Response from the owner: Glad you found the home boarding option valuable. 🙂
Our dog Grizz went through the Pavlov puppy preschool, on leash board & train and off leash board & train in 2024.He went from an out of control husky mix to a well mannered and trained dog we are delighted to introduce to new people and dogs.His trainer Quinn was with him through all the training and did an amazing job! She exceeded all of our expectations and even trained Grizz with some bonus commands we didn't even know of ("back" is amazing!)Pavlov was worth every penny!
Response from the owner: Aahhh... we feel blessed to have gotten the chance to work with your sweet boy, Grizz! Much appreciated, Ryan.
Gunther did the 3 week Board and Train program at Pavlov. Caitlin provided us with email updates throughout, and I got to see him playing on their daily Instagram story. Since he’s been home, Gunther is doing great! He can walk on a leash without pulling which makes outings much more enjoyable! The handover lessons have been nice because you only learn a few commands at each lesson. It’s much less overwhelming that way and allows us time to practice each command. Caitlin has been great at those as well. I was having an issue with Gunther testing his limits in Heel, and she had a simple solution that has completely fixed the problem. I can’t recommend this program enough!
Response from the owner: Cheers to Team Gunther! You both are welcome to join us for pack walks and group obedience class on Sundays.
Had a great experience with Pavlov’s Board and Train program. After adopting my 1 year old Staffy mix I quickly realized how I was in way over my head with training her. I needed 2 leashes to walk her at times and she had zero impulse control. Thanks to our trainer, Madalyn, we now enjoy our walks and I have the skills to keep her focused when distractions arise. Also loved that this program included daily playgroups which helped her socialization skills.
Response from the owner: Dog Trainer Madalyn will appreciate this shout out, Rachel. Thank you for trusting us with your girl, Frankie.
