About The Colorado Dog Pack

What they offer

The Colorado Dog Pack is run by Kelsey, who builds a customized plan for each dog. Its flagship service is the Day Train Program, an intensive program that takes place in the client's home and in public places relevant to the training goals. It also runs group trainings, which client reviews describe joining with reactive dogs.

The Day Train Program

The package starts with an introductory private session with the owner. Kelsey then trains the dog Monday to Friday, from 9 to noon, without the owner needing to be home. A hand-off session on the weekend reviews everything, and a second follow-up comes about three weeks later, with written notes and homework. The services page says the program structure is being updated.

How they train

The site describes balanced training that uses all four quadrants of operant conditioning, giving the dog feedback through both rewards and fair corrections.

About the trainer

The about page says Kelsey worked in boarding and veterinary clinics, earned a degree at the University of Maryland, and was drawn to training by her own fearful rescue dog.
