FetchMasters, LLC

Absolutely incredible program! We enrolled our 3 year old doodle, Winston, in fetchmasters after another training program used methods that we felt were too harsh for our sweet boy. Winston struggles with overexcitement especially around other dogs and this training has brought around a new dog! The ability to train with other dogs in the room has been a total game changer for us, and the private sessions with Linda have been awesome. A month ago, Winston couldn't go on a walk without losing control if we passed another dog, now he is walking happily in a heel position without the use of any harsh tools or methods. The trainers are all exceptional and give you tools to truly work with your dog and redirect them to something positive and constructive. It's also so helpful to be able to go a few times a week and absolutely worth the drive from Denver. We saw changes within a few classes with our dog just because we were able to consistently practice in class and at home. If you're thinking about putting your dog into a program, this is the one!

Fetchmasters is an amazing place with amazing trainers! Tom and Linda have created an effective and unique training program for reliable recall, as well as reliable sit/stay and down/stay. The unique part is that there are all sorts of distractions around the dogs and they learn to ignore the distractions. We have a dog who is not reliable off lead around certain wildlife. He is learning to not be as distracted by many of these things. I do not think there is any other course in Denver that comes close to the effectiveness of Fetchmasters! It is totally worth the drive and worth the cost! Plus Tom and Linda, and the rest of the crew are fantastic people!

Let’s just start by saying that it’s worth the drive and the money! I can not say enough good things about Fetchmasters. I’m no stranger to dog training, either. Their training is second to none, and my 4.5 month old goldendoodle puppy is EXCELLING! Before Mitzi was old enough to attend their classes, Linda Aaron graciously provided virtual training assistance to help us nix some of those early habits in the bud. When Mitzi was old enough to start in-person classes at 12 weeks old, we began attending class 1-2x a week. While it’s a schlep from downtown Denver, it’s unlike any training I’ve been exposed to before. They offer puppy basic classes (which Julia Aaron is a master at!), one-on-one sessions, and the more advanced levels are conducted outdoors in high-distraction environments. We are so grateful to Fetchmasters for their assistance, their attentiveness, and their love of all good dogs (and soon to be good dogs). Fetchmasters is helping us lay the foundations for an incredible dog, and we cannot wait to continue advancing Mitzi’s training as we move into therapy dog, CGC, and PSD certifications.

My bernedoodle and I did the Total Dog Program for 2 months. It was an amazing experience! There is nothing like training around other dogs, prey animals (like goats!) and people. It's the only way to get your dog to truly resist distractions. At first I thought the price was expensive and was wary of the 45 minute drive out to the farm from my home in Denver. But it was COMPLETELY worth it. I always drove back from each FetchMasters group training session really happy and with a tired and better dog. I started seeing improvements within a week! And my dog graduated to Level 2 within four weeks of Fetch Masters (4 minute down-stay, 75-foot sit-stay, recall around other dogs, and heeling without pulling). Not only is the high-distraction environment well-worth it, but Linda and her team are incredible. They have a fantastic training philosophy. They are patient, flexible, and really fun to be around. This is the best dog training I've ever been to. I did PetsMart and Noble Beast training for a bit, which was useful for puppy training. But I'm working on getting my dog to be a certified therapy dog. If you want to get your dog to THE NEXT LEVEL, Fetch Masters is it.

Fetch Masters has been a great experience for both my husband and I in helping to train our overly enthusiastic, leash reactive 1-year old German Shepherd puppy. We love how the group training classes provide a structured setting to expose Zara to different dogs and outdoor distractions to help with her leash reactivity. It has been so good for her and we have definitely seen improvements in her impulse control and ability to desensitize to her surroundings. Zara’s leash reactivity has drastically improved, with much less pulling! I also love how their private training sessions break down the fundamentals and make it very simple to understand and follow….and implement. It is apparent that Tom and Linda are very passionate about helping others to be able to bring out the very best in their dogs. I highly recommend Fetch Masters!
