Misty Pines Dog Park Co

When I walked in the door the first time, I knew I brought my german shepherd Ghost to the right place for a 2 week boot camp. The staff are so friendly and welcoming! You can tell they really care about the animals. The facility is clean and the grounds are beautiful. Ghost will be going back for boarding soon. I totally trust them. A one stop shop for your dogs needs!!!

DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG HERE! I enrolled my now 3 year old German Shepard here as a puppy for their two week training program. Not only did they fail to teach him anything, they barely spent anytime training him during the week (they lied and said they just failed to log the hours when I pointed this out) , they let him in with dogs 3x his size and one attacked him. When I came to pick him up they told me there had been an "incident" with a bigger dog but would not fully disclose to me what had happened. To this day my dog is traumatized and dog reactive.

I had taken my dog here for an overnight to see how he would do for the 2 week training program because he was terrible on a leash. After his initial night, he had a behavioral specialist, I believe his name was Jeff, talk with me about how my dog was. Boy was he short of amazing! He had taught me the proper way to control my dog on a leash. Taking his advice with me, my dog Thor has turned into a completely different dog. He use to pull constantly with a gentle leader on and I have gotten to the point where we can walk without it at all! He’s getting better about barking at other dogs as well. I can tell he truly cared about me teaching my dog the way he should be on a leash. I can never thank him enough for how much happier we both are on walks. Would recommend this place and that trainer any day!

I love this place! If I'm taking my dog somewhere to have fun and keep him busy, this is where I go. They are a little bit pricey but that doesn't bother me as I only go to one class a week if I'm not busy and as an added bonus, the dog park is free before and after that class you take! I take my dog to the Toy breed class, Ed normally teaches it and I have to say, he really has a way with the little dogs. I've had one other instructor teach the Toy class and it was very uncomfortable, you could feel all the dogs in the room being very stimulated. But I'm not saying the other instructors are bad as I have seen them teach the classes with the bigger dogs and they do a fantastic job. After coming here maybe fifteen times I have noticed my dogs behavioral and potty problems diminishing and an increase in confidence just by having this outlet for him once a week. I see some reviews stating they could be rough with pets, but I have not experienced this yet. I can't say anything about the daycare or boarding as I have not used either, but I do know they have a window you can watch your dog from while they are in daycare. They also sell these special training collars, I was very iffy to spend money on just a fancy collar, but I ended up getting one after not having much success with his harness, and their training collar REALLY made a difference in training. I'm not sure why, I think it's about the communication through the leash. Overall, I recommend this place!
