Low-Stress, Force-Free
Boarding and Training in
Denver, CO.

Available Services

  • Low-stress Boarding

    Low-stress, small-scale boarding. Your pup lives with a certified force-free trainer while you’re away! They won’t learn bad habits and will get slow, calculated introductions to a small number of other dogs. They’ll be in a home, not a large facility, and live like my own pets do.

  • Board & Train

    Board & Train is a personalized program for your pup to head off to “Camp Kindred Canine” to do some intensive learning! I have a force-free, positive reinforcement philosophy and will teach you and your pup how to enjoy training and shore up those behaviors you wish you had the time to work on!

  • Private Coaching

    Are you looking for help with some basic training or minor behavioral issues? I offer private coaching for basic manners or behavioral issues in your home, either in person or virtually to help you and your dog have the best life together!

Meet Hayley Griffen, CPDT-KA

I’m a force-free, positive-reinforcement trainer focusing on building a trusting relationship between people and their dogs, and I’m passionate about staying up to date on new research and discoveries about the way dogs learn and how they relate to us. In 2008 I decided to officially pursue a dog training career, and attained a Dog Trainer/Instructor certification through Penn Foster (2008), then a Bachelor degree in Biology (2016), and most recently I’ve been certified as a CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Knowledge Assessed) from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (2023).
