Colorado Springs training runs from residential board-and-train programs to small group classes on the Westside, with methods that differ sharply.
All Dogs Unleashed on North El Paso Street builds around a two-week residential board-and-train, with your dog living on site in a climate-controlled kennel, plus private lessons at the facility or your home. Sit Means Sit on Sinton Road offers private in-home lessons, board-and-train and follow-up group classes for graduates, and its owners are certified Canine Good Citizen evaluators. Both are tagged PACFA-licensed, which Colorado requires when a dog is trained in the owner's absence. Not A Bully, on West Bijou Street between downtown and Old Colorado City, runs group and private sessions with certified professional trainers and a free ask-a-trainer service online. Under The Sun on Vincent Drive has taught since 2011 and adds agility, puppy school and specialty work. PetSmart at Citadel Crossing keeps group classes to four to ten dogs across three levels.
The approaches differ. PetSmart and Not A Bully describe positive-reinforcement methods; Sit Means Sit uses its remote-collar system. Ask any trainer what happens when the dog gets it wrong and whether tools are involved.
Published regional prices as of October 2026 run $125 to $300 for a six-week group course and roughly $600 to $1,000 a week for board-and-train; each business sets its own.
