Real World Training

One-on-One dog training that fits your schedule

From reactivity to fear-based behaviors, we specialize in the spicy issues. Our one-on-one coaching meets you where you are—at home, in public, or anywhere your dog needs real-world support.

The Issue

Dog training can feel overwhelming when the advice is generic and your challenges are unique. Whether you’re dealing with behavioral issues or simply want better communication, private coaching gives you a plan that works—built around your dog, your family, your lifestyle, and your unique challenges.
Big life changes, big dog reactions

Big shifts like having a baby, moving homes, or navigating a new disability can create confusion or stress for your dog—and you’re not sure how to help them cope.

Behavior that's hard to ignore

Reactivity, fear, over-arousal, or sudden changes in temperament can make everyday life feel unpredictable & isolating—and training tips online just aren’t cutting it.

Wish my dog could go anywhere

You imagine your dog joining you on walks, patios, or park days—but right now, that feels more like a risk than a reality.

The Solution

Personalized Training, and a dog ready for the real world

With private coaching and behavior support, you’ll get expert guidance tailored to your dog’s unique challenges. We help you build lasting skills at home, in your neighborhood, and beyond. From basic manners to reactivity and over-arousal, we’re with you every step of the way.
Science-Based & Practical

We use proven, positive reinforcement techniques rooted in learning theory—methods that work in real-life environments, not just controlled settings.

Creative & Adaptive

No two dogs are alike. We meet your pup where they are, adjusting to their needs, motivators, and comfort level with flexible, real-world strategies.

Empathy First Coaching

By understanding your dog’s emotional experience & perspective, we help you communicate clearly and compassionately—so they feel safe, seen, and ready to learn.

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.

Still have questions?

We'd be happy to get them answered!
