Strutt Your Mutt - Grand Junction, Colorado

We reached out to Strutt Your Mutt when our lab was 2, killing our pet sitter’s chicken, almost catching a wild turkey and chasing and nipping ankles of mountain bikers. Not good. Very high prey drive and I realized we needed some help. Rio went off for a board and train and we had signed up to get another puppy from the same breeder, right about when we got Rio back home. Our COVID projects. We are now 4 years into training both dogs and it is hard, rewarding, bonding and worth every penny. The younger one, Nuka also did a board and train and was a very independent and challenging personality. Next time I get a pup or dog I’m going to take Erika or Hilary with me to help choose! They have been amazing in their training of mostly me and my husband in how to bring out the best in our dogs and in understanding our dogs. Erika and staff are very knowledgeable,, patient with our learning and always supportive. The relationship that comes with working with our dogs is golden. I am able to take them off leash hiking and call them back at any time, walks with little reactivity, and enjoy the calm in our day to day doings. They are not perfect, but neither am I. I will always have questions and our dogs will always be a work in progress, and Erika and staff are always there for support and guidance. We board them with Strutt Your Mutt often, and they come back more angelic. The staff are family to us. We highly recommend SYM to help you achieve the most rewarding bond with your dog.

Strutt your mutt is top tier. It is not just “dog training,” it is teaching you as the owner how to be the best care taker for your beloved dog that you can be, and uses dog psychology to help your canine be the best version of himself/herself. You will learn SO MUCH through strutt your mutt, and it is knowledge that you will have and can apply to dogs for the rest of your life. If you want to learn how to cultivate the best relationship between you and your dog, strutt your mutt will show you the way. Their knowledge of dog psychology is amazing, and their ability to problem solve and create a plan for each individual dog just shows how experienced they are. They can handle anything from basic puppy manners to severe aggression and bite history. Their Facebook group page that you get access to is also very helpful in creating a community of like-minded people all working toward a similar goal and furthering your education when needed. I started with them for my severely reactive Great Dane who used to freak out at the sight, sound, or smell of another dog. Now, not only has he made amazing strides, but I was also able to use what I learned to rehab a dog I am fostering that prior was deemed “dog aggressive” to now co-exist peacefully with my Great Dane together in my home. My partner was skeptical of hiring a dog trainer, but now he will tell you it was “the best money ever spent.” Don't hesitate, the knowledge you will get from strutt your mutt is for life, and is life changing.

When I adopted my dog, he had been fully trained by Strutt Your Mutt. So, in my case, their job was to train the owner…..and they were wonderful about it. Go with them and you’ll get a knowledgeable, friendly and patient crew in a great community atmosphere.

We had training today with Strutt Your Mutt, Hilary Briggs. Abby was perfect and our hard work has been a success.

Abby really does give up everything to me when we are training. She has taught me she knows everything and makes it super easy for me. I have learned a lot more than just walking your dog, it takes hard work and perseverance to get where you want to be with your dog and to understand your dog 🐕

Working with Abby has been super fun, she’s very reliable and follows commands exactly. It’s been such an amazing experience for me personally. 

I did a lot of research on dog training places, and Strutt Your Mutt was the best, according to their reviews. They did not disappoint!!

I would like to give a big shout out to Matt, Erica, Hilary, and Autumn for the great work they do for all of our dogs when they are in their care.

If you are having problems with your dog and you want to correct them and work on yourself as well then Strutt Your Mutt is your go to place for dog training.

Unleash your dogs Full Potential with Strutt Your Mutt, Erica Hall and Hilary Briggs!

Love all of you ❤️

Tammy and Abby

I would absolutely recommend Strutt Your Mutt! Hillary, our trainer, was not only incredibly knowledgable and professional, but she was also caring, patient, and understanding.

She helped us to understand what our dog was thinking by being aware of her body movements and other signs. Truly invaluable! Additionally, she modified some of her "typical" training methods to better fit our dogs needs and personality.

Through training with Hillary, our dog is now more confident and listens better, which makes us all happy! Thank you so very much Hillary!

AMAZING! Our very head strong and stubborn Bull terrier Zeus went to Erika after a scuffle between him and another one of our dogs. Erika and her staff were able to to tap into his head and help him with his issues. Then Erika was able to teach us and train us on a new way of communicating with Zeus. We have learned so much from this experience and a weight has been lifted off our shoulders now. It was and is 100 percent worth it! Zeus and the rest of our pack can finally be happy and relaxed under the same roof!

My dog and I had an amazing experience with Strutt your Mutt. I was really the one who needed to be taught. Jax, my dog, has a much more fulfilling life after starting training. Without Erika and her team, Jax might have been ran over by car from chasing a butterfly (seriously), or worse. Plus, I’m so glad he doesn’t have debilitating anxiety and that I know how to communicate with him in order to prevent/work through anxiety.

We used them for a couple things. First Hillary (who is AMAZING) helped us retrain our 3 yo boxer with leash work and a new E collar. Now is is amazing on walks. We used Erica (who should be the real dog whisper) to help our 1 yo boxer find himself and get over some of his social fears. We have learned so much from the two of them and has made us better owners and masters of our dogs. We have learned not only how to read the dog but learn why they make some of their choices.
