Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Danielle R★★★★★ "I highly recommend RTP dog training and Aly/Jasmine! We did an 6-week B&T with RTP and I’m so incredibly happy with the changes we’ve seen. We rescued Abby when she was a little over a year old. She was incredibly anxious, people and dog reactive dog before her B&T. It was difficult to take her to busy places or have people over because she was so stressed out and terrified. Our biggest goals for her were to build her confidence, safely expose her to new environments, and help her feel more comfortable with unfamiliar people, sounds, and places. RTP accomplished all of those goals and greatly helped her overall mindset. She is more relaxed, confident, and trusting, which is exactly what we hoped for. Shes also more willing to interact with other people and it’s been truly amazing to watch her start to trust other people besides me. Abby absolutely LOVES Aly and jasmine, which is a testament to their focus on relationship building, guidance, communication, and fair corrections when necessary. I trust them both wholeheartedly and my dog does too!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Brian Hoffmeyer★★★★★ "Ali and her team were absolutely amazing to work with! They took such good care of Bowie (even dealing w/ me being nervous that he'd be gone for 4 weeks!). The training he (and we) received was top notch. I love Ali's regular text updates and photos/videos, helped us see how he was progressing (and, let's be clear, to miss him less). Since our board and train we've used Ali for regular boarding as well (which helps reinforce the training). I plan to use Ali with other dogs in the future as well."

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Jamie Barnett★★★★★ "I met Aly earlier this summer to find a new space for Lilo, our fear reactive lab. I felt very confident in sending Lilo right away as Aly disclosed her experience working with reactive/aggressive dogs and I also was so impressed by her own dog, Yogi & how neutral he was around Lilo. We sent Lilo to Aly just wanting for Lilo to be exposed to working with another handler in a space, other than her own… and we got way more than that! Lilo’s loose leash walking is more than I could have dreamed at this point, and Aly has been so kind to solidify Lilo’s place command in spaces like coffee shops… not to mention Lilo has been a lucky gal to be able to go hiking w Aly and meet other dogs!!! Aly is incredibly knowledgeable & very caring towards Lilo and other dogs in her care. Lilo loves her and enjoys going to day boarding!!!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Ashley Andersen★★★★★ "After A LOT of research and consideration, we sent our dog Bowie to a month long board and train with Aly. Bowie had been with us for about six months before he went to Aly's and our focus was really getting him to have better basic manners, recall, and neutrality (especially around dogs and squirrels). Never having done a board and train, and being really attached and protective of our dogs, I won't deny that I was a bit apprehensive. Aly was more than gracious in helping to calm and fears I had by way of meeting in person and fielding many, many questions. Suffice it to say, we were MORE than happy with the results. Aly was so kind and patient with us. I've worked with other trainers in the past who were accusatory and condescending and there was nothing like that in her approach. She sent updates and pictures so we knew how Bowie was doing along the way. When he came home he was still his goofy self but we now had a much more clear line of communication with him. Was it hard to send him off for a month? 100%. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. We continue to lean into Aly for support and boarding as needed and she never hesitates to be there for us and Bowie. The way she runs her business and her relationships with her clients is an ongoing relationship- not just a transactional experience."

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Esther Yi★★★★★ "We have been so grateful to have found Aly through a friend who also has a reactive pup in the area. Whenever we leave Olive with her for overnight boarding, I can feel rest assured that my pup is in the best care and most importantly comfortable. I appreciate Alys thoughtful and respectful approach and how much cares for these dogs like her own. Her location also is a huge plus as it is super convenient to coordinate drop off and pick up if you’re traveling via Denver airport. 10/10 would recommend!!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Taylor Yoder★★★★★ "I found Aly through Instagram and was instantly drawn to her because of her amazing work with reactive and aggressive dogs. From the very first interaction with Aly, we instantly knew that we trusted her and wanted to work with her. Our Boarder Collie Beau is reactive and we were looking for guidance to help improve our relationship with him and to work on his reactivity towards strangers and other dogs, as those are his triggers. Beau completed Alys 6 week Board and Train Program and I swear we now have a totally new dog who has a calmer mindset and who blows us away with his resilience when it comes to facing his triggers with more confidence and neutrality. Every time Beau sees Aly he is so dang happy and excited to work for her which continually shows us the positive impact that she has made on him. We also sent our Havanese, Skully to Alys 4 week Board and Train Program to work on his separation anxiety and boundaries as he can be quite manipulative and demanding. Skully is superrr antsy and is very attached to me, so Aly really worked on helping him achieve a calmer mindset overall which has been a game changer. We continually do follow up sessions with Aly and are going to utilize her Boarding option because we know our boys are safe, happy and fulfilled when they are in her care. Aly is hands down the best balanced dog trainer and we have accomplished so much with both boys because of her guidance and expertise. We are lucky to work with her and to have her love our boys likes we do. I can’t say it enough but THANK YOU Aly, without you we wouldn’t be where we are today."

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Sydney Wrench★★★★★ "To find a trainer you trust who loves and cares for your dog is invaluable. Our dog Doug is dog reactive and has a dominant play style with other dogs. The most positive behavior changes I’ve ever seen in Doug (through our few years of training) happened when we started working with Aly. Aly has not only increased Doug’s confidence through her relationship with him, but she’s also helped me gain confidence within myself. Aly has given me the tools & gift of having the best relationship with Doug, and for that I’m forever grateful. We are so thankful to have RTP in our lives for training, boardings, and meetups!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Ellie Arnsdorf★★★★★ "Aly has been a blessing for us and our pup Lenny. She works continuously to help us work through his reactivity. Without her we know Lenny would not have the freedom he does today! He is improving everyday. Lenny joined the 6 week board and train and it was so hard to be away from him but so so worth it in the end. Aly offers free unlimited follow ups after your dog completes the board and train for the remainder of your dogs life. I have found a new love for training my dog because of her and I trust her fully with my dog (even more than myself sometimes lol). We are complemented every day on how well behaved Lenny is, even in his puppy/ adolescence phase. Along with the follow ups you pay no extra for any “meet ups” after your board and train (ie dog socials, off leash hikes, brewer manners, etc.). All these pictures are from Aly sending us updates! We love her and appreciate her raw and unfiltered advice/ training."

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Tyler Church★★★★★ "Aly did a great job working with my dog and I. We did the six week board and train it has allowed me to feel comfortable walking my dog as well as taking her places. The follow ups and Aly’s knowledge is fantastic!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Kara W.★★★★★ "It is incredibly difficult to find someone who can work with a reactive pup with empathy and structure. Aly is a literal godsend for us in that she provides boarding that follows the structure and training our special guy is accustomed to. RTP allows us the peace of mind knowing that our sitter and our dog are both safe and comfortable. We haven’t used RTP for training but I’m sure Aly provides a wonderful service here as well."

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Corina Kuhlmann★★★★★ "We have been working with Aly for 3+ years. I have never had short of an amazing experience with Aly and her team. I would trust them with any dog. They provide expansive updates with photos and videos, answer questions promptly and are always available to chat about concerns. I truly trust Aly’s and her team’s expertise because they all have reactive or formerly reactive dogs. It means so much more that they are able to relate to difficult situations that our dogs put us in. They truly understand where reactive dog owners are coming from because they have been through it and made it out the other side. The Reach the Peak Dog Training team is professional, responsive, accountable, and trust-worthy. I recommend them to anyone and everyone I know!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Holly James Dunn★★★★★ "I could not recommend Aly and her team at RTP more. We've been clients now for a year & done private lessons, day boarding, group meetups & overnight boarding. We've also had dogs go to other balanced trainers in the area and I'd pick Aly for future dogs in a heartbeat. Aly & the RTP team put in the work to be trusted by clients. I was unsure if my reactive dog, Bennett, could ever build tolerance around other dogs. With guidance in lessons & working at home, Bennett's been introduced to many of Aly's dogs and continues to build reliable neutrality. He was walking in close proximity with other dogs at the end of our very first lesson with aly- my mind was blown. Bennett's now manageable on walks & successfully attends meetups! Aly offers a unique service that is truly unmatched in our area. Pricing is fair and the value you get as long as you put in the work is spot on- her boarding updates are specific to your dog's behavior, she really knows my dog, and I appreciate that she pushes him to be better. RTP's level of commitment to your dog's success matches or exceeds yours as an owner- and that's literally more than any loving owner could ask for!! Thank you Aly & team!!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Niki★★★★★ "Thank you Reach The Peak Dog Training! My dog, Archie, can be dog reactive so we set up a consultation and then a private lesson with RTP. From Day 1, Aly's experience and knowledge was quite clear and I appreciate how she took time to really get to know Archie. Archie and I also attend group training meetups, which I really love because the varying meetups help grow not only Archie's confidence, but my own as well. In addition to all of the training, I also board Archie with RTP. I am extremely selective about who I leave Archie with when I travel and I am always confident he is in capable hands when he stays with RTP - they treat him like one of their own. I cannot recommend Reach The Peak Dog Training enough!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Noah Baum★★★★★ "Aly and the RTP team are so incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their work I could not recommend them enough to work with your reactive pup. Before working with Aly and RTP I believed my dog was unpredictable and mean. In reality, I was not equipped to support my pup how she really needed me to. I was unaware of the subtle body language and behavioral cues she was giving off telling me she was in an uncomfortable environment or situation. Through privates, group events, day boarding and a board and train Aly has given me the confidence and knowledge I needed to comfortably take my reactive/aggressive dog into the world and give her the experiences I didn't trust her in previously! My favorite quality Aly possesses is how patient and understanding she was when I would ask way too many questions, she is truly committed to giving her clients the tools to best help their dogs succeed. Aly has also reached out to me several times after sessions and responded positively to my feedback. I know my dog loves Aly as much as I do! If you have any questions about my experience with RTP please don't hesitate to reach out."

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Cresencia Jaramillo★★★★★ "I did a board and train with my mini schnauzer, and Reach the Peak was AMAZING! They are so knowledgeable and great to work with. The difference in my dog is astronomical! I love how friendly and supportive the staff all are, they are a wonderful group of ladies. I feel confident that my dog and I have the support we need to be successful with our training."

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Mark Young★★★★★ "We have been working with Aly for over a year now, and have nothing but great things to say about her knowledge, skills and our experience with her. We had worked with multiple other trainers in an attempt to work through our Aussies dog reactivity, all to no avail. However, after working with Aly for a year we have made huge strides with our dogs reactivity, being able to take her to places we previously could not and having her make good choices. We have done the day trainings and group trainings with Aly, and she has always been available to us over text as well to answer any questions or concerns that come up between training sessions. Without Aly our lives would look substantially different, having an Aussie who originally could not be around other dogs, to an Aussie who we can now compete with in dog sports and feel comfortable putting her into those situations. If you are struggling with a reactive dog, we cannot recommend Aly and Reach The Peak enough."

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Makena Sherwood★★★★★ "I cannot say enough amazing things about Reach The Peak Training. Aly and Jaime are phenomenal dog trainers who communicate clearly, give honest feedback, and are incredibly knowledgeable at what they do. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to send my dog to board and train for 6 weeks and I feel so much more confident as a dog owner knowing I have them as a resource. I would not have sent my dog anywhere else and if I ever get another dog I will be sending them to Aly and her crew :). Reach The Peak absolutely changed my life and my dog's life."

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Stephanie Dustin★★★★★ "I can’t say enough good things about Reach the Peak Dog Training! Aly is a delight to work with and has been a life changer for us in providing an elite boarding experience for our dog. She understands the importance of keeping safety top of mind, but also knows how keep it fun (social time, hikes, structured walks, etc) ! As someone who follows a balanced training methodology, I am extremely picky about who I leave my dog with, and knowing I can trust Aly to keep on par with the level of training and structure that I do at home, makes it so worth it! I almost don’t want to share how good she is at the fear of her schedule being completely booked, but alas, if you’re someone who needs top tier training and boarding Aly is your gal. Here’s a photo she sent me of my pup getting the best adventure of his life while we were out of town."

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Kimberly Robinson★★★★★ "Aly is amazing! I have boarded my two crazy hound dogs with her several times. My big bloodhound can be leash/dog reactive and I had some bad experiences with previous trainers/boarders. Aly's expertise and kindess with reactive dogs is beyond evident. I have such peace of mind knowing my pups are well taken care of and loved. Their needs are well met and she is well versed in e collar. I'm always nervous they won't want to come back home to me after starying with her! Highly recommend!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Nicole M.★★★★★ "I never felt unsure about sending my dogs to Reach The Peak Dog Training because I know without a shadow of doubt that Aly has put in the work to provide the best quality dog training to her clients. I sent my two hounds to her for different reasons- separation anxiety & reactivity. Atticus has an unknown past, but what is known is that he struggles with severe separation anxiety. His anxiety created anxiety in me whenever I had to leave home for work, grocery shopping or a (therapeutic) Target trip. Scout was reactive to the point that walks in the neighborhood were causing me such an immense amount of stress that I just wouldn't go; instead I would drive to an unfamiliar park and hope for the best. Atticus & Scout are both great dogs & I do my best to provide for them, but I needed help with them & honestly encouragement too. In steps Aly & Jasmine with an abundance of knowledge, patience & a whole lot of grace. They eagerly took my hounds & set them up for success for a multiweek board & train. Once that was completed, Aly continues to be a resource with check-ins, pack walks & group trainings. Plus encouragement. She is great. I wholeheartedly recommend Reach The Peak Dog Training to everyone I know because I trust them & can see the fruit of their labor with my own two dogs. Bonus: Aly has offered advice for my fearful foster dog & continually checks in on her progress. Seriously, they are the best."

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Ciera★★★★★ "I met Aly over a year ago though a mutual friend. We met up to go hiking together and now I love taking my dogs to her pack walks, meetups, and to her for boarding. I trust her absolutely. Whether your dog is reactive, afraid of strangers, needs more socialization, etc. Aly is a great trainer, guide, and resource to help you and your dog!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Kelly Kriwko★★★★★ "Aly and Jamie at RTP are truly exceptional! We recently enrolled our 7-month-old puppy, Juniper, in a board and train program due to fear-based reactivity and dependency on our older dog. Juniper has undergone a remarkable mental transformation, and thanks to Aly, we now possess the tools to guide her growth into adulthood. Her turnaround has been a complete 180, and it wouldn't have been possible without Aly's expertise. We also entrust Aly with private training for our older overly friendly golden retriever and boarding services when we're away. Aly's unwavering commitment to bringing out the best in both our dogs, coupled with her insightful guidance for us, is truly remarkable. Witnessing incredible improvement in both pups has left us in shock and amazed. Aly is the only person, aside from ourselves, that we wholeheartedly trust with our dogs. We can't imagine what we would do without her. I highly recommend reaching out to her if your dog is facing any behavioral challenges or simply needs a safe and structured place for boarding/daycare."

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Amelia Mitchell★★★★★ "My dog, Roo, is dog-reactive and finding a safe and comfortable place to board her can be stressful. I had absolutely no doubt about leaving her with Aly after I saw how well she works with reactive dogs and how savvy she is about managing them in her home. Aly took her time to get to know Roo beforehand and asked me lots of questions about how I train and what she'd need during her stay. I got consistent updates, photos, and a report card at the end. It's so so nice to know there's someone I can confidently leave Roo with when I'm out of town. I've also participated in Aly's group training sessions and love her relationship-based training approach. It's clear that she takes her time to get to know both owners and dogs and to meet everyone where they're at. Looking forward to training with her more in the future!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Chelsea Verduin★★★★★ "I cannot recommend Reach The Peak Dog Training enough! Aly and her team are extremely passionate, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile. They are the only people I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with for boarding - when he is there I know his mental and physical emotions are being met and he is being well cared for. I found Aly over a year ago when I was at the end of my rope trying to train my 1 year old Vizsla. After an initial board and train program and ongoing sessions with Reach the Peak Lazlo has a reliable recall, is neutral around other dogs, is able to appropriately navigate dog interactions, and has an off switch/able to settle in a variety of environments. We continue to work with Reach the Peak on these behaviors and more!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Jeremy Katz★★★★★ "Meeting Aly and the RTP team was the best thing for my reactive dog. Aly is knowledgeable and really cares to see us thrive and succeed as a team. She’s not one to shy away from any questions and answers them all without judgment! My dog did a 6 week board and train with RTP and has since gone back for overnight boardings with them. I feel very safe leaving my dog with the RTP team which can be hard since I don’t trust many people to take care of him. I can see how much they care for all the dogs they have and how much work they put in. I have never had a bad experience with RTP and I will be sending my dog to them in the future! Since seeing some negative reviews I would also like to point out that my dog never came home thirsty or scared. He loves the RTP team and is always excited to see them."

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Benjamin Zee★★★★★ "Aly has done a great job with our reactive dog, and has been reliable and accommodating with training and overnight boarding. She and her staff provide frequent videos and text updates during boarding sessions. Definitely recommend her services!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Kate Somerville★★★★★ "I can't recommend RTP for overnight boarding (and training) enough. My dog is a very spirited and stubborn Border Collie who has had issues in the past with bikes, scooters, skateboards, and small children. When I moved to Colorado, I knew I needed to find a trainer who did overnight boarding, who understood dog reactivity, and who would keep up my dog's balanced training foundation. Aly and the RTP staff are an absolute godsend. I have 0 anxiety about leaving my dog with RTP—he loves Aly and I can tell he feels so safe with her. The staff works so hard to make sure each dog in their care gets enough exercise, enrichment and appropriate socialization during boarding. Most importantly, I trust Aly to manage and take care of my dog more than just about anyone. She really knows her stuff and is so willing to support and problem solve with me with whatever is coming up in my daily life with my dog. Thank you RTP!!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Travis Nychay★★★★★ "Aly and her team have been incredible in working with our dog, Doug. He is an 11 year old pup with reactivity toward other dogs, and Aly has been amazing in her ability to communicate her knowledge of how to help dogs with these types of behaviors. It is great to see all of the other dogs & owners that her and her team have helped through training meetups. We also board our dog with Aly, and it is such a relief to always know that he is in good hands when we’re away. I would absolutely recommend Aly to other dog owners!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Jenny Greenland★★★★★ "I cannot recommend Reach The Peak Dog Training enough! My oldest dog, Bandit, takes private and group lessons. My youngest, Smokey, completed a 6 week board and train this summer and continues to take lessons. I also board both Smokey and Bandit with Aly when I’m traveling. Aly and the RTP team are the only people I feel comfortable leaving my dogs with when I travel. I’m always confident that they are fulfilled and well taken care of when staying at RTP. My dogs also genuinely love working with Aly and are always happy to see her. Dog training is definitely an ongoing journey with many highs and lows. Thanks to Aly I feel confident that my boys and I are heading in the right direction."

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Danielle baker★★★★★ "I have been going to Aly for about a year and a half and wish I met her sooner! I have a doberman/german shepherd who has reactivity issues. I have been to so many different trainers and even went to another highly reviewed board and train facility in Denver but nothing has come close to Aly. I wish I went to her board and train! One of the things I love most about Aly’s training style is that she incorporates balanced training and she is SO sweet to all of the dogs in her care which isn’t always the case with trainers working with reactive/aggressive dogs. When Nyx stays with her for the day boarding, Aly always sends photos and videos and even adds training tips in there. I recently started going to her group training sessions which have been super fun, affordable and educational. She makes sure to check in with each owner to answer any individual questions. This month, Nyx will be going to a group training session, a dog social and a brewery manners class! I never thought I would be able to do this with my pup but Aly really believes in each of her clients and pushes them out of their comfort zone while also ensuring safety. Some of my friends started going to Aly and also love her. Definitely recommend Aly and RTP training!"

Google review of Reach The Peak Dog Training by Anna Lindberg★★★★★ "As someone with a high energy dog with some unique quirks, it’s extremely important to me to have someone I can fully trust to care for her when I am away. Aly and her team do an amazing job giving individual attention to every dog during their overnight boarding. I know she’s in great hands when we are away. Not to mention my dog takes awhile to warm up to people, and Aly’s training approach has been extremely helpful in managing reactivity. My dog who likes like five people LOVES Aly and we are so thankful for her."
