Valhalla Kennels & Gun Dogs

Valhalla Kennels & Gun Dogs sits on what used to be a family cattle ranch in the 1960s. Over decades, it evolved into one of Colorado's most respected gun dog training and boarding operations. The setting matters—500 acres of wooded creek bottom with prime upland bird habitat means dogs train and exercise on real terrain, not in a parking lot.

• •The philosophy is simple: great bird dogs aren't trained, they're developed. Valhalla's approach starts with fundamentals and builds through a cycle of praise and reward paired with pressure and release. Their professional trainers work to bring out the best in every dog while maintaining high performance standards.

• •Gun Dog School of Excellence – Saturday morning group classes
• •Private training sessions – One-on-one work with professional staff
• •Obedience training – Foundation work for all levels
• •Off-leash training – Advanced command response
• •Behavioral training – Problem-solving and field work
• •Evaluations – Assessment and custom program design
• •Daily training packages – Add to your dog's boarding stay, customized by skill level and budget

Most dogs at Valhalla are sporting breeds, but they're also companions and family pets. Their staff keeps bird dogs busy and exercised, treating the kennel as a home away from home. Safe, comfortable conditions are the priority.

"That's my boy Max. Hard working and happy. I can't thank you guys enough for helping me with my dogs." – Scott
