Highly recommend and extremely effective. We worked with Brianna when we adopted a fun-loving, happy & energetic mini Golden Doodle. Brianna and the support of the Instinct Team really helped give our pup the confidence he needed. Brianna especially was so thoughtful, caring and attentive to his needs. Her trusted pup, Monty, helped demonstrate the behaviors for the skills our pup needed. We can’t say enough good things about our experience and especially all the help and guidance Brianna provided our Cooper!

I don't typically write reviews but Instinct was a life saver. I have a very anxious dog who can't be boarded anywhere and I was going on my honeymoon and wasn't sure what to do. I worked the staff at Instinct to help my dog adjust to the boarding space and the training sessions worked as he was able to successfully board! Amber helped my dog by introducing him to the different staff that he would interact with during his stay and by familiarizing him with the boarding facility. Each time we went for a training session, my ... read more

Amber and Instinct have been a game changer for my dog, Penny. When I first got her, she had extreme fear and anxiety that prevented her from even just living at home- forget outside. Our virtual sessions lasted about 5 minutes long. Now 2 1/2 years later we are able to do sessions at the facility and she enjoys going! Life at home is so much less stressful for the both of us now that she has so much more confidence to navigate every day. I have a much happier pup thanks to them!

Instinct has been the biggest blessing in our lives. We have an extremely fear reactive/aggressive 2 year old Belgian Malinois mix that has isolated us. Before finding instinct and our incredible trainer Amber, we feared we would never be able to go on vacation or even introduce our pup to another person. Our pup Lola has a very small circle of people she trusts and from day 1 of connecting with Amber, she validated our concerns and was determined to work with Lola. Amber was the first person in 2 years besides ourselves tha... read more

I can't say enough good things about Instinct. The trainers are so kind and after sending my dog there for 3 weeks, he was completely transformed. Our main trainer, Emma, is the most amazing trainer. So patient and so kind - the first time my dog saw her after coming home from camp he was so excited it's as if he saw his lifelong best friend.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Instinct Englewood! My dog shadow was incredibly reactive when we rescued him 3 years ago. We’d tried SO MUCH. I did all the reading, online courses, trainings, etc and no one has made me feel as comfortable and confident as Amber at Instinct has. I think oftentimes, pet owners of dogs with behavioral challenges feel a lot of shame and guilt around it. You walk into Instinct and feel immediately at ease, welcomed and never ever shamed. We’ve been using training as a bu... read more

The best service, care, and training that I could've imagined for my dog. I enrolled my reactive mini poodle into the 3-week board and train program which was worth every penny. Every lesson they teach your dog, they will also teach you how to implement at home. My dog was safe and happy based on the daily updates and videos they send. All the staff members were amazing, but special shout out to Emma, his amazing training. My dog was obsessed with her. I have seen drastic results as a result of INSTINCT and my dog will absol... read more

My dog is crazy about this place. He usually don’t like to get off from the car but as we get close to this place he starts the excitement and he jump off from the car. Emma and Brianna were his trainer. They both updated with what they are doing with Videos. Also they update how he is doing with pictures and I loved them! I will recommend this place and I will definitely use this place again for boarding.

If I could, I would give the fantastic folks at Instinct 10 stars. From the facility staff, to the very knowledgeable and patient trainers. Milo (my 2 yr old crazy, anxious, reactive doggo) has come so far with the help from Brianna and Emma. He used to grab the leash from me every walk and pull and jump when he had an episode, and it used to make me scared and anxious to take him on walks. I am so lucky that I found the good folks at Instinct because not only have they trained and helped Milo overcome his anxieties and find... read more
