Front Range K-9 Academy LLC is a
Denver, Colorado Dog Training and
Dog Behavior company owned and
operated by Jennifer A. Hime, BA, ACBC.

A native of Colorado, Jennifer has
worked with dogs professionally
since 1990.

Highlights:

  • 2005 - Associate - canine division
of the I.A.A.B.C.  (International
Association of Animal Behavior
Consultants).

  • 1994 -  University of Southern
Colorado, BA in Education.

  • 1992 - Certification by A.C.T.S.
(Accredited Canine Training Systems).

  • Additionally, she continues to further her knowledge of canine behavior through
    continuing education courses and independent study.

While in Pueblo, CO, she studied under Dog Trainer Paula Mitchell, of Animal World, in the
fields of canine behavior and obedience training.  In addition to operating Front Range K-9
Academy, she has counseled dogs and their owners for Pet Country in Pueblo, Northwest
Animal Hospital in Colorado Springs, CO & The Dog House, a Doggy Daycare and Boarding
Kennel facility located in Denver, CO.

Jennifer has worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments.  She believes in focusing
on each dog/owner relationship to tailor services that meet the needs of the individual.

Finally, Jennifer does more than train dogs for a living; she lives with dogs for her training!  She
shares her home with 7 dogs, among other pets, and bases many of the lessons she teaches
on the lessons she's learned from her own dogs.  Jennifer also currently competes in dog shows
with her whippets, and plans on lure coursing, fly ball, and agility training with them.

Deb Ellison owns and operates Copasetic Solutions.  As a contract trainer for Front Range K9
Academy, she uses her life experiences with people and dogs to help improve the relationship
between our clients and their canine companions.

Highlights:

  • 1988-1992 USAF Enlisted, active with sports and various volunteer work.  

  • 2001 Ohio State Graduation, BA

    Acquired first canine family member through the Columbus Husky Rescue.  Lexi was said
    to be two but was in fact quite older.  She was hand shy and skittish when Deb got her.  
    Deb provided a secure environment, and Lexi was able to grow out of her old behaviors
    and enjoy her new home.  

  • 2005 Deb got her second Alaskan husky, Natasha Grace Hoponanov.  

  • 2005-2006 Deb Volunteered with Marine Corps sanctioned youth drug deterrent
    program, creatively called Young Marines.  As a drill instructor, she taught boot camp
    victims marching drill, Young Marine and Marine Corps history, and provided auxiliary
    training.  She then transitioned to become assistant platoon commander, and training
    coordinator.  As the training coordinator she taught higher ranking young marines how to
    train lower ranking young marines for promotion testing.  

    Deb got her third husky, Angel.   

  • 2007-Present: Deb had many eye-opening events that led her inexorably to learning
    more about dog training.  When Angel took a stroll on Hwy 36 just outside Estes Park she
    had a moment of satori.  Watching Angel as she dodged in and out of traffic was a wake-
    up call that her dogs need professional training.  Moreover, SHE needed training,
    probably a lot more than the dogs did.  Once started, she found the challenge and
    interaction so rewarding that she began the dog training apprentice process.

    In working closely with Jennifer, Deb gets the pleasure of reassuring new clients that no
    matter how bad it has been, she can help work with them to integrate their canine family
    member into a better relationship for everyone.  

  • March 2008 - May 2008  Deb completed 120 hours of dog training apprenticeship
    through Front Range K9 Academy.
