Jennifer Hime
Owner, Founder + Training Director
A Colorado Native, owner & training director Jennifer Hime studied under Dog Trainer Paula Mitchell of Animal World iin Pueblo, CO in the fields of canine behavior and obedience training beginning in 1990.
In addition to operating Front Range K-9 Academy, she has counseled owners and their dogs for Pet Country in Pueblo, Northwest Animal Hospital in Colorado Springs, CO & The Dog House, a Doggy Daycare and Boarding Kennel facility formerly 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.

Jennifer competes with her dogs in AKC Conformation, Obedience, Rally-O, and Lure Coursing.
Clients have travelled from as far away as Nebraska, Wyoming, and Kansas to work with this highly-recommended dog trainer.
