In a world where many dog trainers spread themselves thin offering a variety of services, Dawn, owner of A Plus Dog Training of Colorado, distinguishes herself through focused expertise. Rather than juggling numerous offerings, she dedicates herself to mastering one core specialty: boarding and training that transforms behavior and builds a foundation for lifelong obedience.
Located on 40 acres of peaceful Colorado ranchland just outside Parker, Dawn’s two-week boarding and training program is anything but ordinary. It is designed not just to correct bad habits but to instill new, lasting ones. The experience begins in her home environment, providing dogs with the right balance of structure and comfort. But what truly sets this program apart is the commitment to ongoing support—after your dog returns home, the training journey continues. Clients receive lifetime access to expert guidance, including follow-up sessions at various locations and unlimited phone support, all included at one reasonable price.
The comprehensive package includes essential training tools such as a collar, leash, and toy, plus discounted boarding rates for when you’re away. With three decades of experience working with all breeds, Dawn’s dedication ensures you never feel alone in managing your dog’s behavior and welfare.
🐾 Imagine Having the Well-Mannered, Confident Dog You've Always Wanted! 🐾
At A Plus Dog Training of Colorado, our 3-Week Board & Train Program is designed to help turn your dog into the best version of themselves!
During their three weeks with us, your dog will learn essential obedience skills, including:
🐶 Off-leash obedience and reliability
🐶 Sit, Down, and Place
🐶 Proper Leash Manners and Heeling
🐶 Socialization and Confidence Building
🐶 Crate Training and Household Rules
But we're about so much more than basic obedience!
Your dog learns in a loving, home-style environment where play, structure, and socialization are part of everyday life. We'll take real-world field trips to stores, hiking trails, and even drive-thru windows so your dog can practice good manners and confidence in everyday situations.
And the best part? We prepare your dog for success at home, too!
By introducing crate training, household expectations, and practical obedience, we help make the transition back home easier for both you and your dog.
❤️ A GREAT DOG SHOULDN'T BE A LUXURY!
We believe every family deserves the joy of having a well-trained dog. That's why we offer an affordable program with INTEREST-FREE PAYMENT PLANS!
Give your dog the training, confidence, and skills they deserve — and give yourself the peace of mind you've been looking for.

Dawn’s approach embraces the diversity of dogs' needs. Recognizing that a puppy’s learning style differs from an aggressive or shelter dog’s, she uses flexible methods tailored to each dog. This realism means she incorporates both positive reinforcement and appropriate corrections—never equating correction with cruelty but rather with necessary communication. Tools like e-collars and prong collars, used correctly, provide humane and effective control, helping dogs understand boundaries without harm.
I am located in beautiful Elizabeth, CO - sitting on over 40 acres of land, there is a virtually unlimited amount of space here for your dogs to learn, train, and have fun in.

"Dawn is the best! She has an incredible space for dogs. It’s a bit of a drive but knowing that there is a big farm, a creek, and incredible dog trainer who has been service training dogs for 30+ years. I had my doodle even further trained with Dawn and felt safe going out of town for a couple weeks this summer knowing my dog is in good hands!" - Kyle T. | Google Review
