About S. Miley Dog Training

What they offer

S. Miley Dog Training and Rehabilitation is a dog trainer at 3375 Davis Ranch Rd in Bellvue, Colorado, serving Fort Collins, Bellvue and Northern Colorado's Front Range. Susan Miley runs the Front Range Staycation, an 8-week in-home program with weekly in-person and video lessons, and private puppy training for pups from 8 weeks to 7 months, held in your home or at her place in Bellvue. The site also offers private consultations, private lessons and classes locally. Its Mountain Retreat Board and Train (2.5-3.5 weeks) and Mountain Retreat Bootcamp (3.5-5 weeks) are open to all of Colorado and Western Wyoming, with the bootcamp aimed at serious issues such as severe separation anxiety, fearfulness, aggression and reactivity.

How they train

The site calls its approach "Balanced Dog Training" for "Any Dog. Any Breed. Any Problem." Susan says she chooses "the least restrictive tool and technique" for each dog, which may mean a slip lead, a Halti, a prong collar or an e-collar, and describes herself as "more of a coach rather than a trainer." The site says she is a Professional Member of the IACP.

Good to know

Scheduling is flexible and by appointment, and phone evaluations are available. A travel fee applies to outlying areas, so ask about it when you call.
