We could not be more pleased with our experience with Mountain State! Our dog, Finn, loves his time there, and they take such good care of him. I always look forward to reading his cute little report cards. They even re-stuffed and sewed up one of his ripped up toys! We are so happy to have found this place - highly recommend!

I have a young small terrier mix that is a fear biter. He belongs to my husband, who is moving to the nursing home in Windsor. Can you help me with this problem? I am interested in obedience training for him and a 6 month old german shepard mix.
They definitely can!!! Give them a call

So when you go do you stay with your dog or is it a go drop off and pick up situation
Drop off and pick up, there are weekly group classes that have owner/dog combined training
Community answer · Aaron Mania · 2018-09-21
It's both, you have several options. My husband and I have boarded our dog there, and had her receive training while she was boarding, we have also boarded her there without training so she had somewhere fun to stay when we took a trip to Hawaii. We also attend group classes with her, and have the option to do one-on-one training there with her. Pretty much whatever you need they can supply. They also have a doggie daycare, where you can drop off and pick up your dog. These are great opportunities for your dog to hang out with other dogs if that's important to you. We have nothing but good things to say about Mountain States, they do a phenomenal job and are really good to our dog. They've even helped us learn how to be a better Pet People. 😄

We are extremely disappointed with our overall experience. We enrolled our dog in a three-week board and train program with the clear understanding that crate training—due to his severe anxiety—would be a primary focus. During the initial consultation, we emphasized this concern multiple times and were assured it would be addressed. Despite this, crate training was not introduced until the second week, which is unacceptable given the limited timeframe. Additionally, my boyfriend contacted the trainer to request in-person sessions so I could be involved in working on our dog’s separation anxiety. The trainer agreed, but there was no follow-up or effort made to schedule these sessions. This lack of communication and follow-through was frustrating and unprofessional. Since bringing our dog home, we have noticed concerning changes in his behavior. He now appears more fearful during training rather than confident and engaged. It also seems that the program focused primarily on reinforcing behaviors he already knew prior to training, while the main issue we asked to be addressed—crate training—was not adequately worked on. That said, the staff was friendly, and our trainer was polite and respectful throughout the process. Our dog did learn a few things that have been helpful, and we do appreciate those positives. I have also followed the training and continue it everyday and we use the e-collar and the pinch collar yet each time we do it. It seems that he becomes for fearful and we use positive reinforcements like treats and toys. Yet I feel that even though we follow the training and keep up with it some new behaviors have shown up that weren’t there before. We gave it a few months to see how everything would fall together and what we noticed was nothing close to what they said would happen. However, overall we feel that our concerns were not prioritized, expectations were not met, and the service did not deliver what was promised. Given the cost and commitment of a board and train program, this experience fell well below the standard we were led to expect.
Staff is very knowledgeable great working with all types of dogs
Great experience and results. Our dog learned to calm down and listen! She is a work in progress but we are thrilled so far!

We sent our 6-month-old Doberman to Mountain State K9 Academy for their 3-week obedience training, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We were referred to Gator through a friend who works with him, and he was absolutely amazing. Every day he took the time to make sure our dog was not only getting the training she needed but was also loved and well cared for while she was there. The daily training sessions really paid off. Our Doberman had a ton of energy going in, and she came home much more mellow, incredibly obedient, and actually listens to us now. The best part—she walks on a loose leash! We definitely plan to continue training and are excited to see what else she learns from Gator and the team. Thank you for everything you did for our girl!
