These are some of the typical pet sitting, pet care and dog training services we offer in Broomfield, Golden, Lakewood, Denver, Westminster, Arvada Wheatridge and the West Metro Denver area. If you don't see what you'd like, just call Dave at the number listed at the bottom of this page.

Dog Obedience Training in Arvada, Golden, Lakewood, Westminster, Broomfield and West Metro Denver - Training is very important if you and your pooch plan to have an enjoyable life together. First of all, you need to decide how "trained" you want your pooch. If you are looking for a guard dog, a Seeing Eye dog or a "trained" circus animal, I am not your guy. I do not have experience in training dogs to guard people or attack or guide people and will not pretend that I do. I also have very little experience in training dogs to behave like a trained circus animal. I understand dogs and will work with you to make sure your pet does as you ask.

Most people just want a pooch that does not pull the on the walk, sits, stays and comes when called. Basic obedience type of stuff. If that's your desire, I'm your guy.

But you don't get to drop off your pooch and come back a week later expecting to find a well-trained dog. You have to participate! (You see, the training is as much for you as it is for your dog). Dog training is not an event that starts and finishes. It is a lifelong journey. And you need to be the journey leader.

I can train your dog or any dog to obey my commands. The key is to get him/her to obey you and your commands.

I charge $60 an hour for canine obedience training. But before I begin, I come and take a look at the pooch and you in a FREE consultation. During the consultation, you and I will agree on the scope of the service and the likely time it will take to accomplish it.

Afterwards, I will send you a proposal which will include the time I think will be required to accomplish your goals and a proposed schedule and a dog training contract. If you think it's about right, you may wish to accept it. If you have something different in mind, please propose it.

Once we agree, I guarantee you will be satisfied, or we will continue until you are satisfied and your pooch is doing as you ask. Your can schedule a FREE consultation here or call Dave at the number listed at the bottom of this page.
