Dog Trainer

Hi, I’m Drew Carlson, owner of LifeStyle K9 in Fort Collins, CO! I grew up in Illinois, where I volunteered over 300 hours at Will County Humane Society, worked in a vet kennel caring for boarding animals and assisting vet techs, and spent three years at a holistic pet food store. After earning my CSU degree in 2022, I traveled the U.S. with my mentor, training dogs and teaching leash seminars, before launching my dog training company, LifeStyle K9. I love what I do and seek every opportunity to help dogs thrive! Now in Fort Collins, I take my dog Argos hiking, paddle boarding, and to breweries living the dream! I offer breed-specific enrichment visits scent games, training, agility & more for a happy, tired pup, building confidence and easing behavioral issues—more engaging than standard walks or drop-ins ($22/30 min). Message me with questions about me or my services; I’m always happy to talk dogs!

Drew is great. His extensive knowledge and showed training with dogs helped me feel secure knowing my dogs would be taken care of and he could handle my Boxer with no issues. He's personable, nice, and easy to speak with.

Drew was available last minute for a dog walk and Finn came back a happy, tired boy. I had come down with the crud so it was a huge help to have Drew’s help!

Schedule

I own a dog training company and make my own schedule. I like to throw in a couple of drop-ins/house sits in between training sessions!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Drew can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Are they aggressive to any people or other animals? Do they have any allegories or sensitive spots? Favorite activities like fetch or tug? Are they food motivated?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
