Train With Mystic Mutts!
In-Person/Hybrid Programs
Bring your puppy, current pet, or service dog in training to the level they need to be at to help you! From foundations, to puppy basics, to advancing obedience & task training, we can get you where you need to be. Our programs can even benefit fully trained service dogs who need some polishing!
Group Classes & Online Seminars
Meet up with other service dog users or learn from the comfort of your home! Our group & seminar options are an affordable, easy way to start or continue training with us.
Online Programs
Our online lessons are a great option for remote clients or if you are looking for light guidance & troubleshooting, rather than hands-on help!
Testing & Evaluations
Whether you’re a current client or not, join us for AKC Canine Good Citizen testing, temperament evaluations, or our full MM-PAT Public Access Test.
In Person/Hybrid Training Programs
For Service Dogs at all stages!
-
Our in-person programs are a great option for working through obedience, tasks, behavior problems, manners, and more! If you are struggling with your service dog, we can help you.
Our programs include in-person private lessons, online coaching, and trainer-guided outings.
A private lesson spans roughly 1 hour, and can take place in your home or in public depending on your needs. We will work one-on-one with you and your dog towards your specific goals, using techniques & a timeline customized to you!
Before each lesson, you will receive an email detailing everything we are planning to work on in that session, and any needed equipment you should have ready. We aim to give our clients all the tools they need to succeed and that includes plenty of advance notice to make sure every lesson is set up for success!

The Accelerated program is for existing service dogs and service dogs in training who have a solid pet level of obedience, already know some tasks, and are already doing some public access!
In this program, you will go from basic, casual pet obedience to more refined heelwork, heightened engagement, precise body awareness, and positional cues such as "tuck", "middle", and "back up". We can also teach a few additional tasks such as crowd control, sighted guide, or item retrievals.
This program includes a free evaluation, 10 in-person lessons, and 4 online follow-ups to be used at any time during or after the program.
This program is $1120.

For all those dogs struggling with reactivity, over-excitement, impulse control, prey drive, and lack of motivation or engagement!

This program is $700.

Individual lessons are available for current clients or individuals who need help with a specific issue! An evaluation, some sort of prior training with me, or pre-approval by me is required to book individual lessons.
Individual lessons are $120, or $100 when added onto an existing package.
-
We can help with task training for a wide variety of psychiatric, medical response, and mobility purposes! Because there is such a wide range of types and needs for service dog tasks, I do not list program length & price here. Contact me to put together a custom program to get the tasks you need nailed down!
-
Does your dog know their commands, but sniffs, pulls, marks, or otherwise displays inappropriate public access manners? We can help!
There are lots of causes of poor access manners and some take longer to fix than others. Reach out to schedule an evaluation and build a custom lesson plan to fix your pup's mistakes!
-
My off-leash program is highly customized and only for clients who have done prior training with me! Your dog's obedience, tasks, and public access manners must be solidified before we introduce off-leash.
This program typically spans 3-4 in-person lessons for individuals whose dogs already have a solid heel and obedience cues. It heavily depends on your goals and under what circumstances your dog will be working!
Online/Virtual Programs
-
Our online lessons are an excellent option to get you on the right track, maintain current training, work through obedience, tasks, & minor issues, and keep you on the path to becoming a great service dog team! These lessons work for local & remote clients.
The main difference between our online & in-person private lessons are the length and style of teaching. While in-person lessons work on both yours and your dog's skills at the same time, online lessons are human coaching! You will learn new handling skills, techniques, and things to try, but it is on you to apply & be consistent with the information you learn.
We cannot perform evaluations, testing, or assessments online. We will not work reactivity, severe fear, or certain tasks or tools online.
-
We are working on building a log of written & video content to open an online store of pre-made lessons & skills! All of our online content is still in progress, so keep an eye out for new resources & product launches!

Testing
I am a registered AKC Evaluator and offer Canine Good Citizen, Community Canine, and CGC Urban testing. I also perform online & in-person Trick Dog & Virtual Home Manners testing.
Have a fully trained dog? Look into the Mystic Mutts Public Access Test (MM-PAT) for a public access certification & task training verification! Teams who pass the MM-PAT receive a certificate verifying that their tasks have been witnessed by an independent evaluator and their obedience & public manners have been evaluated according to test standards. While this document is not required for public access and does not grant any special rights or privileges, it can be used to help defend your rights and your dog’s legitimacy in housing, employment, and legal disputes.
Tests are open to anyone, including non-clients. A phone consultation is not required to book any test. Contact me directly at mysticmuttsco@gmail.com to set one up today!
CGC/A/U Testing: $25/Test for local tests, +$20 fee per day of testing for other locations in & around Denver. $20 per test if testing in groups. CGCA requires group testing so please schedule this test with a friend.
Trick Dog/Virtual Home Manners Testing: $25/Test local or online. I do not travel for Trick Dog/VHM.
MM-PAT: $50 per team, $35 per team if re-testing or testing in groups up to 3. Test location at Park Meadows Mall in Centennial.
Aptitude Evaluations
If you are looking to do any in-person training program with us, we require that you start with an aptitude evaluation. However, these evaluations are also open to anyone interested in assessing their dog’s suitability for service work! Your evaluation fee will be deducted from the cost of whichever program you choose.
Our evaluation fee is $50 per individual dog. If evaluating a litter of puppies, the total fee is the same and we will select the best 2-3 candidates to fully test. While we try to keep these fees as low as possible, we have to cover time & travel to you as these evaluations are commitment-free and you are not required to book with us after completing one.
The evaluation includes a detailed assessment across both a familiar & unfamiliar environment, and a full PDF page detailing the results of your dog’s evaluation that is yours to keep. We do not evaluate obedience and manners, rather, we are looking at the dog’s natural temperament, genetic tendencies, and overall suitability for training. We cannot perform evaluations online or over video.
