Better Behavior Boarding
Boarding …with a certified professional trainer. In a home. Learning polite behaviors and appropriate social skills!
Does your dog bark at you for attention? Jump on your guests? I can help with that! Are they pushy, ready to rush out the door the moment it opens? Do they ignore you when you’re out and about in the world? I’ve got you. Is your dog reactive and you’re afraid to leave them with a sitter? Gimme that pup! Is your dog super easy and just needs a safe and fun place to stay? They are welcome, too! Any training your dog has had will be positively reinforced, and new polite behaviors will be taught and maintained during a fun and enriching stay.
Specialized boarding with a certified dog trainer.
My boarding program is small scale, out of my home on 1/3 acre just west of Denver, CO. My play yard is decked out for dogs, and if your dog is friendly with others they’ll get slow introductions and supervised small group play time every day. If they’re not sure about other dogs, they can get measured exposures, or full separation and visual barriers from other dogs as needed. They stay within my home, so I can constantly supervise. All dogs get individualized attention from me, daily enrichment, and since this is my full time job, training and caring for your pet’s wellbeing is my highest priority; it’s what I do! I’m a certified professional trainer (CPDT-KA) by the Certification Council of Progressional Dog Trainers, and I’m also PACFA licensed & inspected by the Colorado Department of Agriculture, so you can rest assured your pets are in a safe and hygienic environment.
