Chill Out Dog Training

Training is private and owner-participating, delivered in 90-minute sessions. A first session covers a discussion of the dog’s history, a behavior assessment, and hands-on work in a real-world setting, with the owner coached through the handling rather than watching.

Follow-ups are scheduled around the dog’s progress and the owner’s goals, not a required intensive or weekly program; once a household has completed its first session it books Follow-Ups as needed, including for a new dog or after a long gap. Tools are chosen to fit the dog, the behavior, and the goal.

Chill Out Dog Training is a Denver-based dog training business specializing in behavior modification for dogs with aggression, reactivity, anxiety, and leash pulling issues. They offer private, in-home training sessions tailored to each dog’s needs, with trainers coming to the client’s location or training in downtown Denver neighborhoods like RiNo, LoHi, Highlands, and Park Hill, working from their North Denver headquarters in the River North (RiNo) District.

Their signature approach uses a balanced method incorporating e-collar training, and they can also train without an e-collar when that is the client’s decision. Trainers focus on educating owners as much as dogs, supporting long-term progress through hands-on guidance and customized plans.

They serve dogs of all ages and sizes, from puppies to seniors, and address issues like resource guarding, fearfulness, jumping, and barking. Their services include one-on-one private training, e-collar packages, and online training, with a strong emphasis on real-world practice in urban environments.

Boarding and board-and-train are not offered.

Most cases show major improvement in the first session, though the exact result and follow-up needs depend on the dog, the issue, and the circumstances. The current team is behavior trainers Scott Ross and Cameron Nuechterlein, with Miko Ross as owner and director of operations; trainers named in older client reviews are no longer on staff. They also provide extensive resources including before-and-after videos, training guides, and e-collar tutorials to support ongoing progress.

Accomplishments

Holds a 5.0 Google rating from 275 reviews at its North Denver headquarters. Reviews repeatedly credit the trainers with turning around severe leash reactivity and dog aggression, and clients often compare the cost favorably against the board-and-train programs they had considered elsewhere.
