Meet the Training Wheels Team
Our staff is specially trained to recognize and understand dog behavior to ensure that each pup is safe and comfortable during their stay.
Jamie Flanagan KPA-CTP, CPDT-KA
Senior Trainer
Our company owner and founder, Jamie began her career training dogs in 2008 and is now one of the most respected dog behavior experts in Colorado.
She is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner.
Jamie handles our more significant behavior cases and court-ordered training but her favorite students are tiny dachshunds with huge attitude!
Jamie is passionate about helping people who think their dog is a lost cause or have seen other trainers that have made their dog's behavior worse! A little science goes a long way.
Ongoing education is incredibly important for all our staff, but Jamie says the dogs are her best teachers. Ask her what they've taught her lately.
Colorado's Best 2023!
Meghan Barber KPA-CTP, M.S. Ed.
Training Consultant
Meghan is a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner. Formally trained in Mathematics Education for grades k-8, Meghan now applies her teaching skills to helping people understand their canine companions.
While seeking to learn more about her own reactive dog, Meghan found a deep rooted, “fit,” with the amazing work being done at Training Wheels, and now we just can't get rid of her!
Meghan keeps busy managing a three-generation household and wrangling her two boxers.
She makes the best human treats too; chocolate chip cookies!

Amazing Volunteers
We are lucky to have a handful of devoted volunteers who help us provide the dogs with extra love and attention and assist with special projects around the ranch.
You may see our volunteers helping with training and enrichment, taking someone on a pup cup field trip or piloting the ride-on lawn mower.
