Dog Training

Our in-home dog training programs address obedience issues for dogs of all ages using humane, reward-based methods. Certified trainers work one-on-one with owners to correct behaviors like pulling on leashes, jumping, and excessive barking while teaching commands such as sit, stay, and come. Programs adapt to each dog's specific needs, focusing on building communication between pets and owners through positive reinforcement techniques that create lasting behavioral changes.

Puppy Training

The Puppy GoodStart program provides comprehensive in-home training for puppies aged eight weeks and older. Certified trainers address housebreaking, crate training, basic commands, and socialization while preventing future aggression issues. This early intervention program establishes proper behavior patterns through positive reinforcement, teaching puppies essential skills like leash manners and impulse control. The curriculum adapts to each puppy's developmental stage, helping owners build a strong foundation for lifelong good behavior and communication.

Board and Train

Our Board and Train program offers immersive training in a home environment where dogs live with certified trainers 24/7. Available in 10-, 14-, and 21-day durations, this program focuses on basic obedience commands and leash manners through constant observation and real-time correction. The home-based setting allows trainers to address specific behavioral issues dogs encounter in family environments. This option works best for busy owners seeking accelerated results, though it's unavailable in Colorado due to regulatory restrictions.

Fear and Aggression

Specialized programs target fear-based behaviors and aggression through systematic desensitization techniques. Certified trainers identify root causes of reactive behaviors and implement customized plans using positive reinforcement. The process builds confidence in fearful dogs while teaching alternative responses to triggers. Programs include owner education components to maintain progress at home, with techniques adapted for different aggression types including territorial, fear-based, and resource guarding behaviors.

In-Home Training

All training programs occur in clients' homes to create optimal learning environments free from distractions. This approach allows trainers to address specific household challenges while teaching owners proper techniques. The one-on-one format ensures personalized attention to each dog's unique needs, with lessons structured around the family's daily routines. In-home sessions eliminate transportation stress for pets and create immediate opportunities to practice new behaviors in real-life situations.

I was looking for a trainer for my energetic Puppy that could help me with Corrections. I found Carol from Canine Dimensions and I couldn't be happier! My puppy is doing soo much better and I'm happy to have been given the advice, training and tools I needed to succeed. I highly recommend them!

AMAZING experience with Carol with training my 10 month old golden retriever puppy! She spend a few hours with us the first visit to work on his basic obedience needs and we went on a walk to work on his lease pulling. Her instructions really did the trick! He became a completely different dog in a few weeks. A++++ would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Carol with all of your puppy training needs.

Such a great experience with Carol Moriello. She has helped us take our little rescue from an ornery grandpa to a sweet little friend. I can't recommend her enough!

Carol is WONDERFUL! She is incredibly passionate and intuitive. When we had our first meeting/session she listened to our wants and struggles and talked us through the program. Our sweet boy, Robin, instantly loved working with Carol. After just 90-minutes with her, we already saw drastic improvements in our ability to train our dog and his responsiveness to the training. It had been a fantastic experience working with her and our dog is the best boy for it. Most importantly we are better dog parents with the skills we learned from Carol.

Carol of Canine Dimensions is a life saver! In July 2020 we welcomed home our 4 month old Frenchie, Oliver. At 5 months we contacted Carol to help us with crate training, potty training and commands (sit, stay, come). Oliver was fully potty trained in 30 days time, he doesn't wine in his crate and is very comfortable in his place and listens to commands. We are now working on leash training and extended stays to prep us for phase 3.

We are so lucky to have come across Carol, as we wouldn't have been successful on our own. Carol is very professional, prompt, is always available if we have questions and is so patient with us and Oliver. She comes highly recommended and would give her 10 stars if I could!
