We had such a great session with Scott. Our 2 year old Berner had some reactivity issues with people coming into the house, and he taught us tools to help with those situations. We saw improvement within the first hour of the session. Would highly recommend! Less

Cameron went above and beyond in our initial session to help fine tune certain behavior issues we were having. Chill out dog training is the first company that has not felt "pushy" regarding scheduling sessions or packages/board & train. Cameron even followed up and truly seems to care. If you are looking for professionals that are actually skilled in dealing with reactivity or aggressive behaviors- chill out dog training is for you and your pup! Less

I’m the 4th or 5th guardian of a sweet GSD with a lot of anxiety and incessant fence barking. Cameron did a great job of training both me and my dog. If the collar is on she won’t bark in the yard. I no longer have to use the stim. (I chose not to correct indoor barking)She no longer eats poop and she can walk around the block without having a panic attack and trying to run home. The stim paused her fear reaction long enough for her to take her cues from me. Altogether, she’s a happier, more relaxed and outgoing dog. She has clarity on what is ok and not ok. (My guess is that there was a lot of confusing yelling at her in the past) l think she’s also happy to not have the “responsibility “ of being the barker. I highly recommend Cameron for his calm, clear and positive approach! Less

We just had our first session with Scott and it went great! Our two dogs could not be in the same room together before but now they can play together and snooze in the same room with issues Less

I recently had a virtual coaching session with Scott at Chill Out Dog Training, and I’m so glad I did. At first, I was unsure about doing a virtual session instead of hiring a local trainer to work with us in person. But after my initial phone consultation with Scott, it was clear that he was the right person to help us.Scott is calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. He gave me a clear plan that was easy to follow, and I’ve already seen noticeable improvements in my dog’s behavior. More than anything, he gave me the confidence I needed to work with my dog in a way that feels positive and achievable.I highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for real guidance and practical solutions. Whether you’re working virtually or in person, you’ll be in great hands. Less

Scott is an exceptional dog trainer who I highly recommend to anyone who has a dog with behavioral issues. He is incredibly knowledgeable and excellent at helping people learn how to read their dog's behavior and use tools to correct. Prior to finding Scott and Chill Out dog training, we had used 5 or 6 trainers and felt so discouraged. Within one session of working with Scott, we felt so relieved and like we had finally found the trainer we had been searching for. He truly has impacted our dog and family's life in such a positive way by giving us effective tools to manage our dog's behavioral issues through his knowledge and extensive experience with dog training.

Best choice we’ve made for our pups was scheduling a session with Scott! We have 5 yr old Goldendoodle and a 2.5 yr old Sheepadoodle. Walks were absolutely miserable getting pulled around and were often the most stressful part of our days. Anytime we had company the pups would mob our guest at the door and especially with elderly parents we were concerned. Then we started having some resource guarding and fights break out in the house and we knew we had to do something. We looked into 2 week boarding training but couldn’t justify nearly $10,000 for 2 dogs. I was convinced it would take months of consistency with weekly classes before we would see any changes. After just ONE session with Scott using the e-collars (even at low frequency) our walks were completely night and day. The pups picked it up so fast and we all could enjoy walks again. The next session we worked on resource guarding and now we have a set of tools to make sure both pups are safe in our house. We’ve already seen improvements on greeting and now working on “place” in our next session. I’m so glad we went with Chill Out Dog Training and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to have a better relationship with their pup. Our girls have very different personalities (headstrong & timid) and Scott was able to adapt the training to both of their needs. Less

I can't recommend Cameron and the team at Chill Out Training enough. Our goldendoodles are great dogs who have received plenty of training in the past, but we had never been able to get them to behave on a leash. They would pull all over the place, get tangled up, and drag us after every runner, dog, squirrel, cat, or child that would pass by. There were more than a few times where walks would frustrate us to the point of tears (especially after a long day of work). We've so badly wanted to give them the Colorado dog experience, but any time we have taken them camping or hiking it has turned into a big mess. We couldn't even take them to sit at a coffee shop without them making some sort of scene with their barking and excitable behavior.When we first met Cameron, we felt super reluctant about the E-collar. All I can tell you is it has changed our dogs' lives. Not only do they get pumped when we put on their collars (they have figured out it means extra long walk time), they seem so much more happy and at ease when we are out and about. Cameron gave us the perfect guidance to use this tool while also using meaningful training cues to guide them toward better behaviors. Our pups still have some work to do and we will be booking sessions in the future, but the 3 session package did more for our dogs than any previous training sessions combined. We have already taken them on more adventures in and around the city (including sitting on patios!) and look forward to hikes and lake trips when it gets warm out again. Even our neighbors have made comments about how well-behaved they are which is high praise because we definitely had "those dogs" in the neighborhood. This training is the best investment we've ever made for our dogs' safety and well-being. Less

I can't recommend Cameron enough! After months of intensive training and even several weeks of boarding with other trainers over the past two years, my dog Magpie still had behaviors we couldn't quite fix. Then we found Cameron, and in just two sessions we've accomplished more than I ever thought possible. His approach is intuitive, thoughtful, effective, and truly tailored to Magpie's needs. He's simply the best dog trainer I've ever worked with and I'm beyond grateful for his help. If you're looking for real results, Cameron is the trainer you need! Less

I own a Doberman Pinscher with social anxiety which has made life in a very populated neighborhood difficult. In addition to constantly pulling on walks, she also had unpredictable reactivity to dogs and humans. At home, she was constantly barking at passersby. After the first session with Scott, her pulling and reactivity improved ~90%. Walks with her immediately became enjoyable (and I stopped having to wear my SI belt to protect my back from an unrelated injury ha). She also stopped barking at every living thing that walked by our place. I could not believe that my main 3 concerns were so drastically improved within the first 1.5 hours of training! We have continued to work with Scott on a few additional issues, and he’s always very helpful, astute, and communicates clearly. I’m incredibly grateful for Scott’s help. My dog’s progress through this training has been life-changing for both of us. Less

I have a highly exuberant and reactive (excitement) male Great Dane. I had taken him to puppy classes, basic obedience classes, and tried my best to socialize him. But he's a wild 2.5-year old dude with leash and barrier reactivity. I'd worked with other trainers before Chill Out and had some small successes and set a solid foundation; however, I was to the point where I'd stopped walking my dog in my neighborhood because passing other dogs on the street or being surprised by a bike/motorcycle/garbage truck became too stressful to deal with. When I called Chill Out Dog Training, I was driving him and walking him in a business park area that was mostly free of triggers. I wanted to regain a sense of normalcy and after talking to Scott on the phone, I scheduled a session. Scott has been awesome to work with and I've had great results. He's taught me and my dog how to make e-collar training meaningful and I've regained a lot of confidence and control. After one session, I was able to walk Swayze in my neighborhood again. We still have some challenges, especially if we see other high energy or reactive dogs...but I feel equipped to handle 95% of situations and that's a place I never thought I'd be just a couple months ago. Chill Out Dog Training has been a really great investment - and Scott has been a great listener and continues to provide support. Less

Chill Out Dog Training is absolutely fantastic, the best money I have ever spent. I highly recommend working with Cameron and the other trainers for anyone struggling with training issues with their pet. After only one appointment my dog's severe leash reactivity has finally improved to the point where he can walk past other dogs with no reaction. I have spent years working with different trainers with minimal results. I was weary of e-collar training, but the results are very effective. My rescue dog had absolutely horrible leash reactivity, it was hard to even walk in my neighborhood, and it was taking a toll on my and my dog's quality of life. My dog is happier, more excited for his walks, and both of our quality of life has greatly improved. If you or your dog need training help, please reach out to Chill Out Dog Training for a free consultation call. Thank you Cameron and everyone at Chill Out Dog Training! Less

Cameron’s perceptiveness into my dog’s behaviors has really helped me to understand why he does what he does. I was a little apprehensive about using the e-collar, but it’s such an effective tool to quickly give my dog feedback so he can understand what behaviors just aren’t necessary. Within 3 sessions my dog no longer pulls on his leash, he’s showing appropriate curiosity in other dogs on walks without aggression, he’s getting more comfortable with greeting new dogs, his recall is improving, and his barking at strangers or people he’s not comfortable with has improved so much. Throughout this process, I’ve really appreciated Cameron’s knowledge and insight. He has really taken the time to understand what my dog needs as a rescue dog that’s fearful of men, new people, and new situations. My confidence and my dog’s has grown so much, and I feel like I have the tools and support to continue working on things on my own (but we might need a follow up session or two- we’ll see!) The training materials on their website have been helpful too. Overall, I’m so glad I went with this company. Their outlook of helping dogs understand how to “stay in their lane”, redirect their behavior, and trust their human more makes so much sense. My dog was reacting out of anxiety, fear, and he just didn’t know what to do in situations- which meant I didn’t either! But now we’re on such a great track. I’m very grateful! Less

Scott was great with our dog, Honey. We went with the E-Collar package deal and can say it was definitely worth it. After 3 sessions, Honey is now amazing on leash, does not howl when alone due to separation anxiety, and can now be trusted off leash. Great program for the price. Less

We have a GSP who loved to pull, be extremely stubborn, and chase anything that catches his eye. Within 1 session, Scott helped us begin e-collar training and by the end of the session, our dog no longer pulled. The second and third sessions really helped us with advancing in walking our dog with ease, learn addition commands, practice recall, and excel in more high traffic environments. We couldn’t recommend chill out dog training enough! Less

These guys are seriously the best. Our dog is generally very good but got way over excited when we would pass people on walks and was becoming a danger to herself and others. One sessions with Cameron and it’s like a light bulb went off for both of us. She now has zero issues walking by people on the sidewalk, and I have the confidence that I could handle her if she ever does again. Best money I’ve ever spent! Less

Training with Cameron was THE best decision we've made for our dog Birdie. She is a rescue who was really leash reactive (dogs, squirrels, bikes, skateboard, etc), reactive at the window with anything passing by, with guests, in the car, etc. We tried so much other training (10+ sessions with another trainer and a 6 week reactivity course ) as well as medication which were all somewhat helpful but only very minimally with the reactivity (about a year process). We decided to try the e-collar package with Cameron in part because of all the positive reviews and also how comfortable I felt with the potential plan after chatting via the phone for a consultation. We started to notice a change quite literally after the first session. We just completed our third session and 6 months later she is a totally different dog. We can now go for walks without worry, go camping, take her on patio's, and really live life with her, versus around her. I was hesitant about the e-collar with all the conflicting information you see online but how Cameron teaches you to use it feels really fair for the dog. We can't thank Chill Out dog training enough!!! Less

I highly recommend starting your training journey with Scott for the benefit of both yourself and your family. I have personally experienced wasting a significant amount of time, money, and effort with other trainers before finding Scott. However, with just two sessions, Scott was able to effectively bring my dogs under control. The response from my dogs was swift, allowing us to enjoy a much more enjoyable time together as a cohesive unit. Scott's friendly demeanor, approachability, and extensive knowledge in training make the entire process pleasant and effortless. Less
