Pavlov Dog Training - Fort Collins

I can’t say enough great things about our dog trainer Chelsea. From the moment I met her it was clear how passionate she is about what she does, and has the skills to match her passion. The transformation our pup has made is life changing, and the entire time pup was with Chelsea we could rest easy because it was clear she was loved and cared for. If you’re in the market for dog training, look no further. Chelsea is awesome and any boarding or training we need in the future we will return to her. THANK YOU CHELSEA

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with this dog trainer. From the very start it was clear how knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate Chelsea are about dogs. She took the time to understand our dog’s personality and tailored the training to fit our needs, using positive, effective techniques that actually work. We saw real progress quickly—not just in obedience, but in our dog’s confidence and behavior overall. She also did a great job explaining why certain methods work, which helped us stay consistent at home. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares and delivers real results, I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Chelsea made it possible for our dogs to get along, behave around guests, and have a beautiful loose leash walk. Chelsea also gave us the freedom to have an off leash dog that loves his freedom! Thank you Chelsea!

Chelsea is amazing and I highly recommend her for both private training and board and train! We have two dogs that recently finished a board and train program with her. Our older dog, Paulie, was a rescue and came with a lot of behavioral problems, we previously went through private training and a 4 week board and train with a different company, he was much better but still had many triggers. When we recently adopted our new pup, Mango, and some of Paulie's old bad habits started coming out again. We decided to enroll both of them at the same time for training. Chelsea was great from the start- she listened to all of our stories and concerns, took note of the biggest problems we've been facing and asked us questions about previous training, our lifestyles and general information about our house and other pets. While they were in training, Chelsea sent us multiple updates every week with pictures and personalized educational videos on how our pups were doing and teaching us how to maintain their new skills. When we went to pick them up we were shocked that they were politely waiting in their place, no barking at all, and Paulie (who has a history of wanting to chase every cat) was completely ignoring Chelsea's pet cats. We went on a walk with them and Mango, who liked to pretend she was a sled dog with how much she pulled, stayed in a perfect heel and Paulie, who still had some leash reactivity problems, let bikers and other dogs pass by without a glance. One of the best aspects of the board and train with Chelsea is the follow-up. We had a bunch of one on one training sessions in the following weeks after picking them up. There was an outline to how the training was introduced to us so we could reinforce it at home, but Chelsea also listened to all our questions and problems we had been facing and tailored things to us and our pups. We now have two beautifully behaved dogs and we can thank Chelsea for teaching them manners and teaching us how to maintain them!

Chelsea has been absolutely incredible starting our two puppies early training (5 now 6months) She is so kind but clear and firm with her directions, they now listen to their names and have lovely manners on leash. Her park it training has been a game changer for getting tasks done around the house without having to worry where they disappeared too and what they might be chewing. She was able to socialise them to other dogs and cats so they play nicely, which was so important to us as we live rurally but want to take them on adventures with us. Her training directions for us are always clear and easy to follow, it’s really has been a breeze, we could not recommend Chelsea more.
