Is the real world training done on location or at home?

Real World Training starts in the house. Most behavior issues stem from the inability or chance to stay calm in the home- so that’s where we start! A trainer will travel to your home at the same time each week to work with your pup on exercises before expanding out to the neighborhood and eventually to field trips! Field Trips are small car rides to local places to work on navigating new things. This method of expanding will ensure your pup never gets too overwhelmed and can flourish when you step in with your new knowledge!

How do I get started?

We've got a couple ways you can communicate with us! 1- Give us a call! (If we don't answer, please leave a voicemail!) 2- Email us at info@padfootpets.com 3- Click the many schedule an appointment buttons on the website :) 4- Give us a ring at 720-213-6569

How does the training work?

Padfoot Pets takes a holistic approach to training. It’s important to tackle any behavior by teaching the human (Coaching) and the dog (Training) separately. We believe that every pet parent should know the basics of how their dogs learn-that’s where COACHING comes in! We give you the clearest information about your pup’s needs, how you pup learns, and how to navigate the world through their eyes. If you now the basics, you can use it all to your advantage! Training will help you get a head start by having a trainer come by and work with YOUR DOG one-on-one. The combination will give you the best chance at working through your training goals.
