For almost 20 years, Chris Dunlap has been a dog trainer. At Pinnacle K9’s, your dog will feel right at home whether he or she is here for training or boarding. We offer a comprehensive questionnaire that pet owners may fill out to ensure our guests are cared for to their owners exact specifications!

We also coach you one on one to guarantee the results will last the entire pet’s life!

Why We Train

SAFETY

With so many potential dangers in our world, it is our responsibility as pet owners to have our pets reliably trained so we can safely avoid and handle those situations!

BOND

Training gives us a level of mutual understanding with our pets that allows us to have an enhanced and frustration free relationship!

FUN

Dog behavior training can be fun for our pets and gives them the mental stimulation they require to meet their biological demands! Not to mention how fun it is for us to see their little brains work!

Pinnacle K9 Success Stories

Every dog and owner has a unique story. Here’s how our expertise and compassion with dog training have helped create happier, more harmonious relationships between dogs and their owners.

Peter Bridges

We have been working with Chris on training our young Lab, Brisket, and it has been an outstanding experience. Chris is a fantastic trainer—he knows his stuff and has been terrific in helping my wife, our son, and me get comfortable with training. We have an older Lab who accompanies us to the training sessions, and Chris has been deeply helpful to him, as well. As we drove away from our last training session on Saturday, my wife said, "Wow, we really stumbled into an incredibly good situation with Chris." I readily agreed. I recommend Pinnacle K9 without hesitation.

Sara Cricket

The team at Pinnacle are always kind, helpful, and happy to see my pup when we need to board. They've also been flexible with my family's schedule and short-notice boarding. I'll never take my dog anywhere else!

LeeAnn Ostia

Won't be using them again for boarding. Our dogs were stressed when we picked them up. Also communication was not the best. One of our dogs was very skinny coming home and the other went straight for the water bowl. They should have used most of the food I gave them but they came home with a lot of food still left. Also they were pretty dirty and abnormaly shedding for some reason.

Chris and his team at Pinnacle K9 have been the most wonderful to help us personally learn our training tools for our wild english setter. He is so well mannered now and we use those same training tools with all of our foster dogs to assist them with being ready for their furever families. Above & Beyond English Setter Rescue recently took in 20 dogs from a hoarder here in colorado and these dogs needed somewhere to stay while we got them ready for the transportation to their fosters. Pinnacle K9 assisted us with kenneling these dogs to help them while in transition to their new families. I cannot speak highly enough of the team at this dog training & boarding facility, they are wonderful and are so knowledgeable with dogs, behaviors, and training needs.

Excellent, left Gunnar for boarding, Bethany did a great job working with him on his dog reactivity.

Pinnacle was amazing when taking care of my Ollie. I have never boarded him before and was very anxious and nervous about leaving him, but they reassured me he would be well taken care of and boy, was he! I will definitely be using pinnacle in the future for our sitting needs. Thank you again! ❤️

We love Pinnacle K9! It is our go-to kennel because they consistently take excellent care of our dogs. The only “problem” is that the dogs enjoy it so much they don’t want to come back home after their days at K9😉.

I've taken my dog here for several years for occasional boarding. I genuinely trust that my dog is comfortable and looked after closely. Over time they seemed to have gotten to know my dog and provide an individual relationship with her while she is there.

Pinnacle really cares about your dog. They do whatever they can to make them feel at ease and happy. The facility is really nice with a lot of outdoor space. Highly recommend!

What a great place for dogs. Excellent training! Beautiful clean modern boarding. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my doodle. Chris has years of experience training, and he and the staff love dogs and go out of their way to make their stay positive.
