Mountain Paws Dog Training - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Trudy is the best trainer in town. We brought our girl Nala here for puppy class and have since taken every class following the next so far 🙂 we will continue to take classes . Our girl has come a long way from the first class!

Trudy is so patient and kind with her training and works with you until your pup gets it right. Classes are a blast and she does things at breweries with the dogs which is great! There’s a variety of class options which is amazing if you want to keep doing different classes.

We’ve taken our other dog to a couple other facilities in the past when he was young and wish we would have found a Trudy sooner.

I can’t recommend this place enough , especially because you can tell when an owner really cares about your dog and their progress. That speaks volumes ❤️ Thanks Trudy for your hard work and dedication to the dogs in your classes it means the world!

Classes at Mountain Paws have been an excellent experience for our new pups and us! Trudi and Maria are amazing. Their vast knowledge of dog behavior and ability to apply that knowledge to the individual dogs makes classes fun and rewarding. Our pups have very different personalities, as do my husband and I. However, we always felt great about what was achieved in classes. The pups completed AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy and the Bow Wow Basics classes. We will definitely be signing up for more advanced classes. We highly recommend Mountain Paws Dog Training!!

Trudi was amazing! We have only had one session and I feel like we got a lot done in that session. I already have tools to implement before our next session! I’m already feeling so much better about my dog’s behaviors.

Mountain Paws Dog Training is a wonderful establishment! I worked with 2 separate trainers for my dog Ronan. He took Bow Wow Basics with Maria and Polite Pup 1 & 2 with Trudi. Ronan also has private sessions with Trudi that have helped us learn to walk our big and strong boy without being pulled in every direction. Still a work in process, but the training from Mountain Paws has truly shaped Ronan into the trained dog he is!

Trudi and Maria both did an amazing job working with him and only used positive reinforcement (treats and praises).

10/10 recommend as the trainers truly care about your pups and the price is excellent for the area!

Trudi is a True dog whisperer!

My husband and I signed up for Puppy Kindergarten so that together, we could learn how to train our new nine-week-old. We had never had a puppy before and thought it was an opportune time to teach him good behavior right from the start, behavior that kept us all safe and sane.

Trudi had great reviews, the price seemed fair, and the classroom looked fun and inviting.
So, we took the plunge. Upon entering the classroom, it looked large and clean and well-suited to dog training.

Trudi was very welcoming and explained what we would be teaching our dog that day and then demonstrated with one of the pupils. Next it was our turn and we practiced with our puppies while she observed.

The classes were well-structured, varied, fun and ended with some playtime so that the dogs could sniff and socialize.

Trudi is very knowledgeable and passionate about dog training.
We enjoyed her positive training style which really works. We loved her dog translations which helped us to get to know what our pup is thinking at his age of development.

Our dog was fond of the class too. He knew when we were getting near Mountain Paws and began to get excited and wanted to bolt out of the car to see his new friends.

We thought that Puppy Kindergarten was so invaluable that we are now enrolled in the second class, Bow-Wow Basics.

As a result of Trudi’s instruction, we feel more capable and well-equipped to be responsible, loving pet owners.

You have got to sign up. You will enjoy your dog even more.

Trudy with Mountain Paws is AMAZING! Her knowledge of dogs and dog behavior is exceptional. She is professional and understanding. She has taught me how to improve my dog's confidence and bring his attention to me in stressful situations. I knew I needed a professional and was so glad I found and went with Mountain Paws. This has been a wonderful experience.

We ended up doing two in-home visits that were well worth the money. We learned a variety of tips, and with consistent work on our end, saw fast changes in our pup. She is getting more confident with herself and others, and we have the tools to help her continue doing so.

Mountain Paws was an awesome place that helped me and my dog quickly learn new behaviors to help us work through some of our issues using positive reinforcement, and then advance to obedience training. These behaviors were easy to use and practical in the classroom and in our daily lives. Trudi was patient with us and was always a positive person to work with. She ensured that we continued to build on previously learned skills as well as introduced new ones with each class. I would highly recommend Mountain Paws!
