About Us

Under the Sun Training and Doggie Daycare was established by Colton and Heather in 2011.

This husband and wife team combined their love and abundant knowledge of care, training, and dog behaviors to create an “in home” daycare atmosphere and a dynamic training system in the Colorado Springs Community.

Colton and Heather and their Pup-friendly staff create a “home away from home” by providing quality care, exercise, and training to your furry family!

Our New Facility, opened December 2021!

Our dream of building a premier dog training facility, daycare, and events center has now become a reality!

Our NEW 21,000 square foot building includes a 12,000 square foot turfed training/events arena, Indoor/Outdoor Daycare Play Yards, Training/Flex rooms, and a Mezzanine looking over the arena!

We are so excited to be EXPANDING the Under the Sun dynamic training philosophies and years of experience into new classes, competition, and dog training opportunities for this community!

Same love, care, and knowledge…in a bigger space!

Hi my name is Dana. I’m a Colorado native & have a 3 year old son. I fell in love with dogs and dog training 9 years ago when I got my first dog, Sasha. She opened my eyes to the dog world.

Hello fellow furry friend lovers, my name is Britney and I just adore spending my days loving on your family members!! For as long as I could remember, I have always had a dog by my side to join me on whatever adventure I had embarked upon. They teach us so much more than we could ever imagine and I truly can’t think of anything better to fill our time here. Dogs truly are a girls best friend.

Hello! I'm Casey, I've recently moved here from California to be the Graduate Assistant for the WBB Team at UCCS.
