Dog Bootcamp

This program is required for dogs with any reactivity (growling, lunging, or barking) towards other dogs or people, or who have phobias. This program is for dog owners who are willing and able to work WITH the training and trainer to create a behavior modification plan for the best prognosis for their dog.

What Dog Training Program is Right for Me?

“I have a new puppy that I’d like to get started with training!”

Let’s get that puppy started off right with our Puppy Training Program.

“My dog needs some manners and off-leash training skills!”

They sound like a great fit for our Off Leash Board and Train Program.

“My dog barks and lunges at dogs or people on leash, has fear issues, or is very anxious.”

Your dog would benefit most from our Bootcamp Program.

Teaching a dog commands is not hard, getting the dog to follow commands when there’s distractions, you don’t have a treat on hand, or the dog is excited is where every other trainer I’ve worked with has fallen short. Before Dog Dynamix, we went through group dog training classes and even hired a one on one trainer with little success. We’d graduate each class with flying colors but out in the world my dog would either ignore commands or obey them unreliably.

My dog completed the 45 day bootcamp and went from only obeying commands when it was convenient to following commands very consistently. I can take him for off leash runs now and know that if I call him, he’ll come immediately. If he finds a piece of food or trash on the ground and I say drop it, he will drop it. This class has made him much safer and it’s improved his quality of life because I can bring him almost everywhere I go and let him explore off leash. My relationship with him is also much more positive than it was before because I’m not fighting him to get him to behave himself. I’m constantly recommending this program to people who ask me how I trained my dog, and although it is expensive it is absolutely one of the best investments I have ever made.” – KATIE N.

It’s rare that I have an experience with a business that I feel warrants a review, good or bad, but I have been blown away with Dog Dynamix. We put our puppy through the Perfect Puppy Program, and it was the way decision I’ve ever made. They set our puppy up with a great foundation and we now have a puppy we can enjoy and bond with, and the trust we have in our dog after this program is something we could have never achieved on our own. Our walks went from a constant battle of pulling on the leash and reacting to every sight and sound to a calm, enjoyable walk for both of us. He listens to us the first time, every time. I get compliments from his behavior every single time we are out. Not only did they train our dog, but they also spent multiple sessions with us to teach us skills to use on our own in order to keep his training up. As first time dog owners, this has been extremely helpful. We have been impressed with all of the trainers and the time and energy they put into their dogs is incredible. I can’t thank Dog Dynamix enough. This program is truly invaluable and would say that Dog Dynamix is a non-negotiable for anyone thinking about getting a puppy. Thank you guys!!” – APRIL C.

Best trading ever. My dog was an unruly jumper, pulled on walks, lurched at other dogs. I dreaded our daily walks! Now she allows me to leash her easily and is so well behaved. I truly look forward to our daily walks. Shaina and Lisa... are magicians. I travel from Centennial to Arvada for the training and it is definitely worth the drive!read more

We are incredibly pleased with our experience. Our pit/lab mix pup is about a year and a half old now. When we adopted him at 4 months old it was our absolute intention to train him. Little did we know what curve balls life held for us in... 2019 and 2020. We were spread so thin we finally came to a resolve that if we wanted the well trained pup that could truly be a part of our family at home or in our recreational adventures, we'd need outside help... not to mention that we had NO idea he'd grow to be so big and strong (just under 100 lbs). Lisa and her team have been amazing. While the goodbye for the Colorado Companion Board & Train experience was hard, the weekly report cards and videos helped, and the pup that has returned to us is blowing our minds away. Before he left, we were unable to take him out into the neighborhood because he was so over excitable and unpredictable. Since he's been home we have been on walks daily. The first time a rabbit shot across our path, I gave his command and he immediately complied and ignored. Mind blowing. He also has wonderful manners around the house, and he has found his sweet personality with us and the kids. He is still boisterous and funny, but more calm and collected at the same time. We love all of the philosophies behind this training program, but would advise that people understand that no program is one and done. If you want to keep the results, you too have to put in the work as the owner. We are excited about how this program is making us better dog owners too. We are grateful to Lisa and her team for investing themselves so deeply in our pup and would absolutely recommend the program.read more

Lisa was very honest about my aggressive dog, I wish that I had listened to her advice although it was very hard to hear.I now have my new puppy training with her to be a therapy dog.Another thing about the business is how adaptable they... have been to my changing circumstances. I highly recommend them.read more

They are the best trainers. We will only board Rosie and Maddox With Dog Dynamics. We have worked with Dog Dynamics for over 10 years. They are simply the best!

Hands down the best trainers I have ever worked with. I reached out to Dog Dynamix (Lisa, Shaina, and Sophie specifically) when I had no idea what to do next. We had already tried 2 trainers and 1 behaviorist for my reactive German... Shepherd/Belgian Malinois and things were getting worse. After the 30 day board and train he is a completely different dog and I couldn't be more thankful for their guidance. We continue to attend classes to keep up with the foundations they set. Before Dog Dynamix- It was anxiety provoking and a chore to walk bear around the neighborhood. Now we can take him for hikes and walks around wash park. We won't trust anyone else with Bear!!read more

Hands down the best training facility we have worked with for our highly reactive German Shepherd & our very anxious mixed breed little dog. They are the only people we are comfortable leaving our dogs with when we are out of town. Thank... you for all you have done & continue to do for Wren & E.B.read more

We are so happy we found Dog Dynamix - they are amazing! Our Belgian Malinois participated in the 14 day board and train program and we were so pleased with the results. He learned so much in just two weeks and we learned so much about how... to keep up his training in the one-on-one session they do at the end. Since then we've boarded him many times, done day training, and participated in a year of agility classes with Shaina. Every experience we've had at Dog Dynamix has been wonderful. Shaina has a wealth of knowledge on dog training, is fun to work with, and is very patient with us and our high energy pup. Whether you are having serious issues with your dog or you just want a fun class to build your dog's confidence and release some energy, I highly recommend Dog Dynamix.read more

The best training facility in Denver! My German Shepherd and I did private lessons with Shaina. She was extremely patient with me and amazing with my boy. She taught us so many useful training techniques and even went over proper dog... etiquette (as he is my first dog). We continue to sign up for classes and drop in to group training for refreshers and fun! Every trainer I’ve worked with is very knowledgable and professional! We will continue to train at Dog Dynamix as long as we can 🙂read more

We can't thank this wonderful group of folks enough! They have helped us with all basic and more obedience training with our girl, since she was a little bitty pup. We've even had the pleasure of having help in our own home, when our... living situation was less than ideal and presented challenges for us. Shaina is amazing and works so very well with Scarlett and is is fabulous at helping the humans learn what we should be doing! 🙂read more

We enrolled our newly adopted dog, Peanut, in a 45 day board and train program (The Dynamic Dog) while we moved across the country and went on our honeymoon. I was so thankful to have a safe and stimulating place for our baby to stay while... we had some major life changes going on. Our pup had been over socialized by frequent trips to doggy daycare which turned into some leash reactivity and bad manners. Our pup completely transformed those 45 days AND we became more educated (and I’d like to think overall more capable) pup parents. We learned that Peanut was highly food motivated, VERY smart (which we already knew but this was a new level) and very much in need of a stronger pack leader. We learned how to properly use commands, guide Peanut on leash, and an e-collar. This training program was incredible for us and changed our lives in a very positive way. These folks know what they’re doing and it shows from their videos - all it takes is a little patience and the right knowledge to become the best pet owner you can be! Thank you Dog Dynamix!read more

Pepper is so much more fun to have around now. She's always had a great personality but we struggled with her training. She would bolt everytime we opened the door, only sit or come when she wanted to, and was terrible on a leash. All... that has changed since her training. She actually seems to enjoy doing what we tell her too. Thank you so much for training her.read more

So sad that it has taken me this long to finally write this review but better late than never! We rescued a lab/shepherd mix almost 2 years ago and within the first 6 months, we were facing challenges left and right. Between the aggression... and the separation anxiety alone, we were at a loss. We finally bit the bullet and signed her up for their 30 day board and train program with Dog Dynamix, and if that wasn't the definition of money well spent, then I don't know what is. After 30 days, we had the same wild and spunky dog, minus the traits that lead us there in the first place, plus a huge new set of skills and purpose. The program works, and it works well. The facility is great, the people are great, and they have such a positive impact on our pup. We continue to bring her there to this day (it's been over a year) and I wouldn't want to bring her anywhere else. We treat Dog Dynamix as a 2nd home for our pup and suggest anyone in a similar position to do the same!read more

Dog Dynamix uses a balanced approach, has taught me techniques that have done wonders for my dog's reactivity and offer classes for all kinds of dog sports to keep your furry companion fit and mentally challenged. So far my GSD and I have... done two levels of obedience, a beginning nosework class, a rally class and attend weekly rally practice sessions. I learn something fascinating and new from Lisa and Shania every time I'm in the building. They have opened up a whole new world of dog sports and helped me build a strong relationship with my dog. We're now putting them to the test by enrolling our 14-lb, 3-legged, mixed breed dog in an agility class. I have no doubts they'll do wonders for her confidence and skills and we'll have a lot of fun along the way.read more

I met Lisa 6 years ago when I was interested in doing some basic obedience training with our young rescue dog. I had no idea I'd get so sucked into the world of dog training! Over that time we did multiple levels of obedience, rally,... tricks, agility, and nosework classes. I have learned so much about dog behavior, my dog, and myself from working with Lisa. When we recently adopted a new (very shy) dog I knew I wanted to take her to Dog Dynamix for Level 1 obedience and the controlled exposure she would get to other dogs and a different environment. Shaina taught the class and although the training basics were the same as the Level 1 class I previously took with my other dog, there were some updates to the training techniques based on the ongoing education of the Dog Dynamix trainers. The training programs evolve as the trainers continue their education. I've learned so much from watching the other dog/handler combinations in the group setting, and the trainers personalize the feedback based on each dog/handler's challenges- this isn't one size fits all training. We also board with Dog Dynamix and love that our dogs are getting individualized attention, and all of the training we've done is reinforced while we are out of town. I couldn't be happier with the results I've achieved by training with Dog Dynamix and highly recommend their services!read more

Lisa is amazing! She has helped train our year old frenchie to be mannerly & attentive. When I brought her to train with Lisa our pup was a crazy, wild, & mildly aggressive. Lisa is patient, honest, and kind with her teaching & training... every single time!!!! I felt like each personal training session was packed full of practicing commands and correcting my handler mistakes. I left every time with new and helpful commands to make my pups' life and my life better. She also learned quickly my pups behavior and what steps to take to get the best results!!! I highly recommend anyone who has a dog start training with Lisa ASAP. Has changed my world!!!!!read more

We've worked with Lisa to train all our dogs, and we've worked on various skills and disciplines. Lisa will treat you, and your dog, with respect. The other great thing about working with Lisa is she is always learning, always looking... for new and better ways of teaching people (oh, and the dogs, too). The work Lisa does is balanced and I never feel like we are forcing our dogs or pressuring them into behavior.read more
