Puppy Socialization is where we set the stage for a dog's emotions about the world for their entire life. In this short window of brain development, we work to reduce and/or prevent instances of fear and stress, build your puppy's confidence and optimism about the world at large and increase resiliency or bounce-back ability. Activities run on a rotation with each day's activities focusing on varied aspects of socialization.
This is a great alternative option to having a daily dog-walker come and visit your puppy every day and an investment in your puppy's future.

Our Training Style
We use humane, positive reinforcement style training that aligns with most current scientific research on animal learning and best ethical practices. Our well-vetted training plans are intended to optimize speed in learning and retention for the dog using rewards-based training. Families are busy, our job is to make this process as efficient and fun as possible. We are strongly against punitive methods in training. To learn more about our guiding principles, check out the LIMA position statement from the APDT here.

Our Commitment
Our training team is committed to staying up on the best practices in dog behavior & learning through participation in continuing education programs, scientific publications, books, seminar DVDs, and of course through participating in ongoing discussion groups with our respected colleagues across the front range.
