Welcome and thank you for choosing Paw Pals Pet Dog Training, located along the front range of the majestic Rocky Mountains.

We believe in using and promoting dog-friendly training methods to help you form a bond with your dog that will develop into a rewarding, lifelong relationship.

We offer in-your-home consultations, private lessons, and group lessons. We specialize in working one-on-one with dogs and their families in the training process. We do this in an effort to obtain the quick results desired by so many families.

Testimonials

I have known and worked with Elizabeth Brooks and Paw Pals since 2006. With her, I have worked on training with three of my dogs. I have found her to not only be extremely knowledgeable, but a true professional. She was also very caring with my dogs, not only in the training sense, but also in her personal relationship with them – they not only became attached to her, but she became attached to them as well. I have worked with her doing both one-on-one private lessons, as well as group lessons. Elizabeth helps her clients develop a greater understanding of canine behavior, and demonstrates how Positive Reinforcement training is effective. I learned a great deal from her regarding behavior, as well as the science behind the application of Positive Reinforcement training techniques. I found the way that she conducted her training lessons was a combination of educating the clients about behavior, helping them develop their training skills, and a sense of humor that made our lessons fun, interesting, educational, and enjoyable. I am very comfortable recommending Elizabeth to others, and have referred friends to her. I have also recommended her to people at the dog park, or other locations, that are looking for a trainer. After working with Elizabeth and her use of Positive Reinforcement training methods, I believe that my increased knowledge of canine behavior will enable me to achieve anything that I want to with my dog. I’m glad to have met her, and plan to continue to work with her.
