Radley - Greater Swiss Moutain Dog
"My 'Boo' Radley is a wonderful dog, but since we are in the same weight class, when he wanted to go somewhere, I really struggled with being able to control him. He wasn't aggressive, but he is a huge dog that wanted to jump on every human and dog he saw. I was concerned that the training would take away his intense joy with life and confidence, but he is the same Boo. Only now he clearly understands that there are rules and we speak the same language around what's ok and what's not and he listens! One other note - Bernadette's training is obviously filled with love and respect for our furry friends. When I brought him by to see her weeks later, he almost turned himself inside out at the sight of her. Thank you Bernadette and your whole extended family - this was a life-changer."

Jett & Nick
"I fought e-collar training for 27 years and now I think Why? When implemented w/ a good trainer (like Bernadette) the response is quick and rewarding for both dog and guardian…plus I do not swear at them anymore!!!!! JOYFUL!"
Sandy C. - Coal Creek Canyon, CO


Navy
Navy is a nice dog who had some serious issues. His family came to me for help after he had killed one of their Chihuahuas named "Max." With another Chihuahua left in the household, they were desperate to regain harmony in their family and be able to trust Navy again.

"Bernadette, Your training and guidance has been priceless to our family. The confidence you have given us as parents has made us a better family.  We can't wait to see how things will be in future years with more furry friends that are bound to be in our home. Thank you so much for this lifetime gift. We know our beloved Max would be proud of us."
Sincerely, Nick & Deborah - Louisville, CO


Bernadette & Riley
"Thanks for helping us learn how to lead Riley and make her a great canine citizen of the world. 
Thanks, Les and Marci "

Bernadette With Mastiffs Deuce & T-Bone

"We have 2 Old English Mastiffs, with a combined weight of 355 lbs. Before we started training with Unleashed, our dogs would bark like crazy when people came to the door. We couldn't take them out in public because they would bark at everything while driving in the car and they were dog aggressive.
After training, our friends and my clients can't believe that they are the same dogs. They are more relaxed, and so much more fun to have around. When people come to the door, the dogs bark once, look at me, and go lay on their dog beds (instead of the couches!) and stay there! Most of the time, our visitors don't even know we have dogs until they see them laying in the other room when they leave! They even met a 2 pound Chihuahua and a wild and crazy Jack Russell Terrier, made friends, and even went on a walk with them! Now, we take them to the pet stores and even on vacation. We have taken 2 other dog training classes, but nothing seemed to work after we finished class. This is the best investment we have ever made with our dogs. Our dogs are more relaxed and now they get to do everything with us."
Kelly G., Aurora, CO


Sophie
Sophie is a beautiful white collie but before her training, she had a few bad habits. Sophie liked to chase joggers and bikers. She would bark for attention, refuse to come when called, bite and pull on her leash and nip at her owner's heels. After six private lessons, she is a pleasure for her owner and works confidently off-leash.

"Sophie and I are having a wonderful time together thanks to her training! We've been playing off leash every night. I am relaxed with her, she has a wonderful time!"
Sophie & Wendy F. - Louisville, CO



Gayle & her beloved dogs Medi (Lab) & Dewey (Mastiff)
Dewey is a 170lb Mastiff with a history of aggression towards other dogs, cats, and occasionally people. After six private lessons Dewey walks happily and under control with his owner around lots of other dogs. He is a star student!

"Dewey is doing AWESOME!!  Last night we walked and there were tons of dogs barking from their yards….he was perfect as they were charging up to their invisible fences…then we almost stepped on a baby bunny….and it ran…he took two steps after it and I said leave it,  and he stopped. I tell you, he is so good.  Thank you sooooo much." 
Gayle M. - Hudson, CO


Charlie & his kids

Charlie is the cutest Goldendoodle but boy was he naughty. Charlie liked to pull and bite at the leash, nip at the children, and behave completely out of control. After two weeks of Bernadette's Boarding School, he's a loving, gentle, and well-behaved boy, who's completely off-leash trained.
 
" We LOVE the new Charlie. Thank you so much."
The McCormick Family - Superior, CO


Sharon & Champ
"Bernadette has given both Champ and I training that has changed our lives. I am a better and more confident leader for him, and he is a more attentive and trusting follower for me. Private training has been extremely fun for us and highly effective because of Bernadette's commitment to our success. I also would like to strongly recommend the electronic collar because it was very convenient and easy to use, and gave us lasting results in a short period of time. Many of our friends were complimenting Champ on his good behavior after a week of training with the collar. Champ has his 'Green Tag' and is ready to tackle the trails of Boulder off-leash."
Sharon, Boulder, CO

remi
Remington
"Bernadette has forever changed the way I relate to remi and the way he relates to me! The most invaluable thing she taught me was how to be a strong and confident leader and that one thing has completely changed Remi's behavior around other people and especially other dogs!! Training with Bernadette gave me the confidence to tackle any situation that might arise and because of that Remi is now a calm and confident member of my family! The greatest gift Bernadette gave me was changing Remi's behavior and my leadership in such a way that he can now play with other dogs and enjoy their company and I can finally relax when taking him on walks around other dogs! Thank you so much Bernadette!"
Claire N., Broomfield, CO


Deuce & his new pal Buster the Chihuahua


Nesta 
Nesta is a lovely Rottweiler that came to me from California. He had a history of aggressive behavior, pulling on the leash, lunging and barking at other dogs, skateboards, bikes, etc.  After two weeks of Bernadette's Boarding School, he is walking politely on leash, happily ignoring his previous triggers for aggressive behavior.

"Nesta has improved so much. I haven't had to use the pinch collar at all! He used to pull me around without it.  He has been excellent with his "go to bed", we use it especially during our dinner time. We enjoy our walks so much more now! Thank you for helping bring structure to our routine."

Sox
Sox is a cute little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel / Bischon cross. He's a sweet little dog who had very little control. Before attending Bernadette's Boarding School Sox would jump on people, bark incessantly, nip at people, pull on the leash and refuse to come when called. His owners are amazed at his progress following two weeks of intensive training.

"Bernadette’s two week Board and Train was everything she promised. When Sox returned home we were amazed at his maturity and obedience. He is now wonderful with our three grandsons, loves going to baseball games, and is most mannerly in meeting other people and dogs. Of course, we needed as much training as Sox did! Bernadette was very patient with all of us and continues to be available to answer questions and solve any challenges that we may encounter.
Sox loves going to visit “Unleashed” and Bernadette; and we appreciate the family’s sharing and caring attitude!" 
Steve and Louise Christopher - Superior, CO


Jacqy, Mo (Rottweiler) & Gracie (Anatolian Shepherd)

"Bernadette is awesome!!!! If anyone had ever told me that I would even think my dogs could go off leash I would have laughed at them. Bernadette made a believer out of all of us! Thank you so much!!!!!"
Jacqy, Mo, and Gracie - Longmont, CO

  
Pepper celebrated his first birthday this month. He has changed a lot over the year and Bernadette is largely responsible for those changes. We enrolled Pepper in the puppy training class because we were unable to get him to walk with us on a leash, and he was not sleeping through the night. As with many Chihuahua's he also growled at everyone who came near him and rarely let anyone play with him or pick him up.

Over the course of Bernadette's class we learned how to train and socialize Pepper properly not just with his leash, but also in giving affection and treats. Her counsel has helped us tremendously.

Pepper regularly snuggles with us now. He is excited to take walks. He is patient when we put his leash on and ready to take off and walk with us once we give him the command. He sits for treats. He sleeps through the night in his own bed. He is completely house trained thanks to a lot of feedback from Bernadette and follow through at home by us.

We highly recommend her classes!
Thomas & Pepper

Katie was once so dog aggressive, should would attack any dog that came within 40 feet of her. After two sessions, she is able to relax in close proximity to four other well-behaved dogs. - Jim & Katie

We did a lot of research and interviewed several dog trainers before deciding on Bernadette and Unleashed Dog Training. Our private sessions have been infinitely helpful. People comment daily how well behaved Clarence is for his age (5 ½ months).  Bernadette’s enthusiasm, knowledge, suggestions and teachings are terrific. Clarence can’t contain his excitement when she comes for a training session.  We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for focused, intelligent, loving and effective training for their pets!
