Dog Health Questions: Which dog training place would you recommend in the north Denver area?

I live in north Commerce City/south Brighton and have a 12 weeks old puppy goldendoodle. I've been searching for decent puppy obedience class and I'm lost. Who would you recommend? Thank you!

Dog Training Advice - Top 5 Important Dog Training Advice And Tips For Your Dog Obedience Training



Recommended Answer:
I don't live in your area, but this is what i did when I was looking for a trainer. I went to the local dog park, and dog friendly areas and watched dogs and their owners interacting. The dogs who had a pleasant demeanor and the owners who really watched them...well, I approached and asked for a training recommendation. Between 4 or 5 people I got 2 names. I did a little reading on training methods and had a pretty good idea of what might be best for my dog. I went to observe both these trainers teach a group lesson. One of them really impressed me and I chose to work with him. This organization has a package deal that is way more expensive than Petsmart. but all of these trainers are certified, with years of experience in ALL methods of training and all types of breeds. Their package does include 5 hours personal one on one training in your home or area outside, training tools AND free group classes for the life of your dog. The classes are 3 x a week. You can go, or not. I like the classes and the reinforcement is great for the dog's obedience. And, if some problem arises, they are always there for you by phone , internet or after group class. Goldendoodles are great dogs with a fairly high energy level. The petsmart trainers are OK for basic obedience for dogs that are happy go lucky and benefit from the socialization. In case a dog is challenging, dominant/ aggressive or presenting any problem out of the ordinary, they are not the way to go. Sometimes you do get what you pay for! Hope you find a good trainer...good luck.

Selecting Quality Dog Training Leads


  • I did training at petsmart in DC with my dog and hes awesome and it was great. my mom did training at petsmart in MD and it worked, but she didn't keep it up, so the dog sort of knows some things but has forgotten others over the years.
