About A Plus Dog Training

What they offer

A Plus Dog Training of Colorado is run by Dawn Greer, a professional trainer whose site credits her with 30 years of experience. Rather than offering many services, she focuses on one: a two-week boarding and training program that starts in her home on more than 40 acres of ranchland in Elizabeth.

The program

The board and train is built to correct bad habits and set new ones. After the dog goes home, clients get follow-up sessions at various locations and unlimited phone support, which the site describes as lifetime access to guidance included in the price. The package includes a collar, leash and toy, and graduates get discounted boarding when their owners travel.

Training approach

The site describes an adaptable approach: a puppy learns differently from an aggressive or shelter dog, so methods are tailored to each dog. It combines positive reinforcement with appropriate corrections and uses e-collars and prong collars where they help a dog understand boundaries. Dawn has also written a book on dog training, which the site links.
