Nahla Stay Dog Training

Nahla Stay offers two main program formats: Day Training and One-on-One Training. Day Training involves same-day drop-off and pick-up, with focused professional training and guided owner sessions every other day (60–75 minutes), plus handouts and video links.

Both programs include foundational skills like leash pressure, connection, polite walking, place/zen zone, boundaries, and engagement games. Programs are customizable and can be combined based on individual needs.

Nahla Stay Dog Training is a personalized dog training service based in Northern Colorado, led by owner and trainer Katie Henneman. Katie uses relationship- and lifestyle-based training techniques to help dog owners build a mutually respectful, loving, and peaceful bond with their dogs. Her approach is rooted in positive reinforcement and balanced methods, tailoring training to each dog’s learning style and the owner’s lifestyle. Katie is also a licensed Occupational Therapist, which allows her to adapt training techniques for owners with physical limitations, ensuring accessibility for all. She specializes in helping dogs with reactivity, leash pulling, puppy behavior, public outings, barking, jumping, and door manners. Training is offered through day training and one-on-one sessions, with handouts and video support provided to reinforce learning at home. Katie’s own journey with her challenging dog, Nahla, inspired her mission to help others transform difficult relationships into joyful companionships.

The business does not offer board and train services but provides day training with same-day drop-off and pick-up, and in-home one-on-one sessions. Katie emphasizes that owner involvement is critical to success, and her programs are designed to integrate seamlessly into daily life without requiring extra time. Clients report significant improvements in behavior, including successful muzzle training for vet visits and improved walks and greetings.

Nahla Stay Dog Training serves Estes Park, Lyons, Longmont, Berthoud, Loveland, Fort Collins, Greeley, Severence, and Timnath, with consideration for other areas upon consultation.
