Private Dog Training in Denver: What to Expect

Initial Consultation

All private training begins with a one-hour initial consultation, held in your home or another agreed-upon location. From there, we offer discounted training packages to provide consistency and long-term results. Using positive reinforcement and fear-free, science-based methods, we help you strengthen your relationship with your dog while addressing unwanted behaviors and teaching essential manners. During the initial consultation session, we’ll:

• Discuss your training goals and challenges
• Introduce humane, fear-free training techniques
• Provide immediate management strategies to set your home up for success
• Provide initial training games to get your dog started on the right paw

This session lays the foundation for a personalized training plan tailored to your dog’s needs.

Follow-Up Training Options

After your Initial Consultation, we’ll recommend a training plan based on your goals and your dog’s needs. Many clients continue with a 6-session package, while others choose a 4-session package or individual sessions. Package options offer a discounted per-session rate.

Basic Manners Training

For dogs in need of better manners, our training packages will cover the essentials of everyday good behavior, often referred to as “obedience training.” With our coaching and support, your dog will learn foundational skills such as:

• Focus and attention skills
• Sit, down, stay
• Leave it, drop it
• Come when called (recall)
• Loose-leash walking
• Relax on a Mat (settling)
• Polite greetings
• Building on distractions

Behavior Modification Training

In cases of dogs who are exhibiting undesirable behaviors, we will target issues where they happen most: in your home and everyday environment while we support you and your dog to work through concerns such as:

• Leash reactivity & pulling
• Overexcitement & impulse control
• Barrier frustration
• Aggression toward people or dogs
• Resource guarding
• Fear, anxiety, or insecurity

Alongside our positive reinforcement, force-free, relationship based training, we’ll equip you with management techniques to create long-lasting change and avoid problematic situations.

If you prefer a flexible alternative, you can schedule single sessions after your initial consultation or after completing one of our packages. This option is great for working on one or two specific skills at your own pace.
