The Recognition

If you recognize any of this, you’re in the right place.

01 Your dog has bitten — or is one wrong move away from it.

02 Walks aren’t enjoyable. Every other dog is a confrontation.

03 Guests can’t come over. The crate has become a coping tool.

04 You’ve worked with trainers, vets, behaviorists. Nothing has stuck.

05 You love your dog. You’re scared of what happens if this doesn’t change.

06 You want a dog that fits your life, not one you build your life around.

“You’re not alone. Your dog isn’t broken. You just haven’t found the right approach yet.”

Watch This First

It’s me, Ian. 14 minutes — and most of what you’ll learn will surprise you.

Why intensive immersion works when weekly sessions don’t. What 21 days actually looks like. And the one promise that makes us different from everyone else.

03 Our Lifetime Support — and why we can offer it

The Method

Three weeks with us. A calmer life at home.

Assessment

It starts with a friendly, no-pressure conversation with our team, whenever works for you. We get to know your dog and you: the triggers, the history, the health picture, and the goals you’re afraid to say out loud. Then we build the plan.

Step one · A real conversation, not a sales pitch

Immersive Training

21 days, living and training with us, 24/7. We generalize the behavior across the settings real life happens in: home environments, public spaces, parks, and trails, so it holds everywhere, not just at our facility. Photo and video updates every day.

Days 1–21 · Live-in board & train

Graduation & Lifetime

We don’t just hand back a trained dog. We train you to keep them there. Then we stay in your corner for life: tune-ups, refreshers, and our team a phone call away whenever you need them.

Day 21 + the rest of their life

Real Front Range Dogs

Watch the before & after.

These are Denver and Longmont dogs, on the same trails and patios you deal with. Watch their owners describe where they started and where they are now.

What three weeks can do for you and your dog

Hear it from owners who were right where you are.

Our Lifetime Support

Forever.
Not one year.
Not two.

Most board & train programs back their work for a year, maybe two. Our support has no expiration. If your dog drifts months or years from now, you bring them back and we get you both back on track. No clock. No extra fee. That’s the difference between selling a service and standing behind one.

✦ No additional cost

Everything That’s Included

One program.
21 days.

One program, start to finish: severe behavior and everyday obedience alike. Financing available, and most owners qualify in under 2 minutes.

Common Questions

What you’re probably wondering.

Is it worth it?

If you’ve already paid for trainers, vets, classes, or medication that didn’t fix the problem — you’ve already spent more. The difference is this is the last one. Lifetime support. Permanent change. Most clients tell us it was worth every dollar.

Will my dog be okay without me for 3 weeks?

Yes. We share daily photos and videos so you see exactly what your dog is doing. The vast majority of clients say the bond is stronger after the program — because they finally have a dog they can fully be with.

What if the problem comes back?

That’s what our lifetime support is for. If anything slips — months from now or years from now — we take your dog back for tune-ups at no additional cost. Forever.

What training methods do you use?

We use balanced training — drawing on the most effective parts of both traditional and modern methods to get results that hold up in the real world. The goal isn’t control for its own sake; it’s a confident, happy dog and a relationship built on trust and respect. We’re fully transparent about every tool and technique we use and walk you through all of it, so you’re comfortable with exactly how your dog is trained.

Why do you only offer board and train?

Because it’s what actually works. In a board and train, every interaction with your dog is guided by a professional trainer — and your dog gets between 63 and 105 training sessions over three weeks, far more, and far more consistent, than weekly lessons can deliver. Sporadic, inconsistent training produces sporadic, inconsistent results. Living in a structured environment for three weeks is what makes the change stick.

No Pressure. No Commitment.
