Pavlov Dog Training

We had a wonderful experience with Pavlov and their board and train program. Our trainer Madalyn was amazing and our Rosie responded well to her. We have a one year old Bernedoodle who needed focus and training for her energy and intelligence. Madalyn’s work with her was brilliant and she is a totally different dog when it comes to her responses and calm reactions. We enjoy taking her for walks now and when guests come over she is calm and respectful to their space. We are looking forward to the group lessons and the boarding where her training will be maintained and encouraged. We will definitely go back to Madalyn in the future for additional training and skills. I highly recommend Pavlov Dog Training.

We had Appa board and train with Quinn while we were on vacation. She did a phenomenal job with him while we were gone and sent detailed updates. She taught us how to keep on top of the things post training as well. The post sessions were really helpful and a success. I highly recommend and would use this program in the future to prob do off leash training as well.

We LOVED our experience with Pavlov Dog Training and trainer Madalyn. I knew it was going to be tough to leave my sweet 1.5 year old Vizsla, Rusty for 2 weeks. But he really needed some reinforcement training and e-collar training to help during walks, playtime and structured “place time”. The staff that I talk with beforehand answered ALL of my questions. I liked that I could check the Instagram everyday and watch him during playtime, and I received multiple weekly updates on his progress with photos. We have really benefited from the additional “human training” sessions since his completion of this stay. He has retained all of his skills and really enjoys our daily walks and reinforcement training at home. I know I can reach out with questions or issues in the future if needed. We received awesome detailed emails about what kind of training he was having and even videos showing him during training. I have recommended Pavlov to any person with a dog since our recent stay and we are 150% happy with our results. The whole staff loves on all the dogs and the dogs really love being in their care. Rusty was a changed boy once we got him back and he is so responsive to commands and loves learning new skills. I’m excited that he can board there anytime now that he has completed the program and am confident he will smother all the trainers in kisses upon seeing them again.

Madalyn Aquino was absolutely fantastic with our dog Lonny. It was so obvious how much she cares and how experienced she is with training and communicating with dogs effectively because in the three weeks of the training program she was able to concretely and completely achieve all of the goals we hoped for when we sent him off to Pavlov.\n\nWe just finished our last hand off training sessions and I will absolutely recommend Madalyn Aquino and all of the Jason St of Denver staff as the premium dog trainers to anyone. I personally don’t have the time or experience to do the training I envisioned for my dog and this training program should be considered a valuable investment in your and your dogs future. I researched the top programs and I am so glad I ended up choosing Pavlov and can’t say enough positive things about the great experience it was. I’m happy. My fiancée is happy (she’s not getting pulled down from the leash anymore…!) and Lonny is a happy well behaved gentleman.\n\nPavlov is great and worth every dollar. One additional comment is they CONSTANTLY update their Instagram and post YouTube videos of your dogs progress and group play sessions multiple times a day. This wasn’t an additional service and just something they do but I think it was one of my favorite parts of choosing Pavlov. I missed my guy so much over the 3-week program but felt like I saw him everyday because of their amazing communication.\n\nHighly recommend. Thank you Madalyn!!

We had an incredible experience with Pavlov Dog Training, and especially with our trainer, Madalyn Aquino. Our corgi Sammy had been very leash reactive with poor impulse control, and we were genuinely worried he was going to get himself into trouble sooner rather than later. Enter Madalyn - an absolute miracle worker.\nIn just three short weeks, she transformed Sammy’s behavior while keeping his sweet and lovable personality completely intact. He can now heel, stay, recall, and “back off” instantly, but the biggest gift is that we can finally enjoy peaceful walks without fearing a reactive outburst. The difference is night and day.\nWhat impressed us most was how loving, but appropriately firm, Madalyn was with Sammy. You could tell she truly understood him, and it was obvious that Sammy adored her right back. Her approach built trust, structure, and confidence, not just better manners.\nWe honestly can’t recommend Pavlov Dog Training and Madalyn enough. They worked a miracle for our family, and we’re so grateful for everything they’ve done for Sammy. If you’re on the fence, don’t be - this program is amazing.
