Training Support Areas

Focused virtual coaching based on the original AskDogTrainers content.

Areas We Address

Recall training (critical for off-leash safety), leash manners, dog-to-dog reactivity, barking issues, separation anxiety, destructive behavior, basic obedience, advanced commands, puppy foundations, and behavior modification for rescue dogs with complicated histories.

My dog has never had any formal training. Where do we start?

We start at the beginning - no shame in that. Most dogs that haven't been trained aren't bad dogs, they're just untaught dogs. We assess where your dog is and build from there, usually starting with engagement and foundational commands.

We live fairly remotely near Alamosa. Is internet quality a concern?

A basic stable connection is all you need - you don't need high-speed fiber. Even a mobile hotspot usually works fine for video sessions. If connection is a genuine issue, we can work around it.

Our dog is a large breed with a lot

It changes some of the logistics, but not the core method. We work with large, powerful breeds regularly. In some ways, the reward-based approach is even more important with a 90-pound dog - you really don't want to be in a physical battle of wills with a Great Dane.

Can training help with a dog that's aggressive toward other animals?

Yes, though we'll want to get a clear picture of the history and severity before outlining a plan. Inter-dog aggression and prey drive toward small animals are both workable, but they require specific protocols.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?

We ask for reasonable notice, but we understand life doesn't always cooperate. We're flexible and keep our scheduling process simple.

Alamosa sits in the San Luis Valley surrounded by mountains and sky - and a lot of open space that dogs absolutely love. But freedom has its challenges. A dog with no impulse control and a nose full of interesting smells is a dog that's going to cause problems sooner or later. If you're an Alamosa dog owner dealing with that reality, you're in the right place.

Professional Dog Training - Available Anywhere in the Valley

Askdogtrainers.com was designed from the ground up to serve dog owners who don't have easy access to traditional training facilities - which covers a huge portion of rural and small-town Colorado. Our live virtual sessions bring expert-level coaching to your home, regardless of where in the valley you're located.

Our trainer, Jason Lake, has spent more than 20 years working with dogs in all kinds of settings. He understands how rural environments create specific training challenges - wide open spaces, wildlife distractions, fewer socialization opportunities for dogs, and owners who often have to solve problems on their own. Virtual training bridges that gap.

How It Works

The process is straightforward. You book a session, we connect via video, and we get to work. There's no judgment, no complicated setup, and no hauling your dog to a parking lot on a Saturday morning.

We start with a conversation about your dog - their history, their current behaviors, what's working and what isn't. Then Jason builds a plan specifically for your situation. Every session builds on the last, and we give you practical homework so the work continues between calls.

What Makes This Different From a Group Class

Group classes have their place, but they're not for everyone - or every dog. If your dog is reactive around other dogs, a group class can actually make things worse. If you're a nervous trainer, performing in front of strangers doesn't exactly set you up for success. One-on-one training removes those variables entirely.

And because our sessions happen in your home, your dog is learning in the environment where they actually need to behave well. That's not a small thing - it's the reason virtual training often outperforms in-person group work.
