Monster Dog Training

We have day train or private lesson options available to teach your dog how to paddle board! Reach out to us with questions or to schedule a session!🏄‍♂️🐾 Some foundation skills you can start to practice at home: 👉 Place: first on stable surfaces, then on unstable surfaces, then on your paddle board at home! Practice duration and distractions for this command at home before bringing it to the water 👉 Middle, Sit, and Down: practice these positions on the flat (ground) first, then on more unstable surfaces like a couch or ottoman, then practice them on your paddle board at home! Work on duration and distractions for these commands as well. 👉 Swimming/Water Confidence in general 👉 Practice your dog wearing and getting comfortable in their life vest! Experienced dog paddle boarders what else would you suggest a newbie should practice or be prepared for when going paddle boarding for the first time with their dog?! #monsterdogtraining #fortcollinsdogs #windsorlake #dogpaddleboarding #horsetoothreservoir #nocodogs #paddleboardingdog #paddleboarding #paddleboardingcolorado

Foundational Leash/Walking Skills 🦮 Ideally before moving to the next step of a 6ft leash these are the skills I’m looking for a dog to have and understand! ✅ Offered check ins/engagement ✅ Understanding of a reinforcement zone/eventual heel position ✅ Enough awareness that if I keep moving the dog moves with me past a sniff/distraction on their own ✅ Same goes if they’re ahead of me and I stop walking they notice/check back in ✅ If they do hit the end of their leash they understand it’s communication and come back to handler (ideally to reinforcement zone) #monsterdogtraining #fortcollinsdogs #nocodogs #fortcollinsdogtraining #fortcollins #leashtraining

Canine Fitness Drop In class is great for progressing the skills you learned in Canine Fitness Foundations, building confidence in a nervous dog or puppy, or just to try out the equipment and see if you and your dog love it enough to do the 4 week foundations course!💪🐾

Food Truck Rally Drop In class was bingo themed tonight! We worked through our bingo cards as a group to practice a variety of different challenges for the dogs in this crazy busy environment!

The progress Kage is making on not only his physical strength, balance, and proprioception but also his mental confidence is just so freaking rewarding to see. I absolutely love getting to work with clients long term and building these dogs up to be the absolute best version of themselves!💪🐾🤩

We LOVE getting to take your dogs out for training field trips during the week! It’s like a dog walker, but next level 🤘🤩 Give us your over the top, too much, (absolutely amazing in our opinion) dogs and let us work their brains + bodies! We’ll drop back off a biologically fulfilled, happy, and calm dog for you to enjoy when done with work that day!☺️🐾 Got a young puppy who needs some extra help with proper socialization? We can take them out to dog friendly stores, busier urban environments, hiking trails, etc to safely expose (not necessarily interact!) with the world around them! Reach out via email, text or call us to plan a day train field trip that would benefit your dog and their training most! 💌 [email protected] 📲 970-666-0494 To book your dog

Giant breeds benefit SO MUCH from canine fitness training! These dogs need the proprioception, strengthening, and conditioning work to help prevent injury, allow them to enjoy all different kinds of activities and training, and prolong their lives so that they can age gracefully! 💪🐾 #monsterdogtraining #caninefitness #caninegym #caninefitnesstraining #giantbreeds #kingshepherd #fortcollins #nocodogs
