Puppy Socialization Program

The Busy Bee Track offers private training sessions where I do most of the training and work for you. While you’re at work, running errands or taking a rest I will come to your home and train your puppy one-on-one. After 2 private training sessions we will schedule 1 training together session where you will learn how to use the skills your puppy learned.  

The Hands-On Track is for those who want to be involved in the training process the entire time. You’re required to be present at each session. I’ll demo how to train behaviors and will coach you so that you can practice on your own. You’ll be expected to complete activities between sessions so that your puppy’s skills progress. We’ll schedule 3 training together sessions at your home or in a public setting.

Each track includes 1 Goal Setting Session, which is to be completed before training begins.

Because Denver and Colorado can vary between bustling city, sleepy suburbs, and mountain life, it’s extremely important to prioritize puppy socialization.

Do you plan on taking your adult dog to breweries? Then socializing and training at a place like Improper City might be smart. Do you plan on taking your dog camping in the Rocky Mountains? Slowly introducing your puppy to equipment, tents, and a campfire might be on your socialization checklist.

Prioritizing puppy socialization in Denver and the surrounding areas would be my first recommendation. Then, training basic obedience and good manners would be my second. 

I can help with puppy socialization and obedience training in Denver and start you and your puppy off on the right foot. Contact me if you would like to learn more.

If your puppy, or adolescent dog is experiencing fear, reactivity, or aggression please reach out immediately. Training is of the utmost importance, and timing is imperative.

I have a Puppy Socialization Program (puppies 8 to 16 weeks old) that will expose your puppy to the city of Denver, people, sounds, and more in a safe way. I also include socialization in my Wildflower Puppy Program (1 year or younger) for puppies still in that developmental stage.

Teaching foundational skills to start building good manners is important to begin with puppies. Simple tasks such as sitting instead of jumping, chewing toys instead of furniture, peeing outside instead of on the carpet, are all things that you should start working on.

My Wildflower Puppy Program can help you jumpstart the training for foundational skills. The program is great for working professionals or busy families that would like a certified trainer to do most of the work. I’ll come to your home while you’re at work, or busy with family tasks, and train your puppy one-on-one. You’ll not only get a jumpstart on training, but you’ll be left with a more fulfilled puppy.

A goal setting session is a 60-90 minute consultation at your home. It’s the first opportunity for me to meet your puppy, yourself and anyone else in your family who intends to help with training.

We’ll use the goal setting form you completed to guide our conversation. We’ll state your training goals, troubleshoot any behavioral issues and provide management strategies to help relieve any common pain points (like puppy biting, chewing and accidents).

After the session I’ll put together a customized training plan that we’ll follow to help us reach your training goals. You’ll receive an email outlining your plan as well as gain access to a Google Drive which will house relevant handouts, videos, and activities.

While you’re at work, running errands or taking a rest I will come to your home and train your puppy one-on-one. These sessions are designed for me to do what I do best: train! I love them because I can train uninterrupted and can concentrate on building the skills you want most.

The Busy Bee Track includes 2 Private Sessions.

The Hands-On Track includes 0 private training sessions since all sessions are training together sessions, meaning you are required to be present for all training sessions.

Training Together Sessions are training sessions where YOU are the focus. During these sessions I will demo how to train behaviors and coach you on how to do them. These sessions are fun because you get to be the trainer and learn how to use your puppy’s skills in real life.

The Busy Bee Track includes 1 Training Together Session, which is scheduled at the end of the package.

The Hands-On Track includes 3 Training Together Sessions.

Follow up sessions are scheduled 1-2 weeks after the initial program has ended. I’ll coach you on any skills that might need some refinement or extra practice. We might go on a field trip or I might set up a scenario in your home so we can practice your dog’s skills in a real setting. And I may help you troubleshoot any issues that have popped up since training has ended.

The Socialization Program offers follow up sessions to be purchased once the package is completed, but isn't mandatory. 

You can email me with any questions 30 days past our last scheduled training session. Depending on the issue you may need to schedule additional sessions, which we will discuss and decide together.

You can also follow me on Instagram, where I will have training tips that may be helpful.

Fill out my Goal Setting Form, which is my version of an intake form. I will then contact you by email to discuss next steps.

No. I’ve found that results are poor when we only schedule one session or random sessions here and there. I need clients to be committed to a training program and don’t offer one-offs.

The only exception is if you have completed a program and you need to brush up on a skill or need some help in something we had previously worked on. In that case we will discuss what’s needed and will come up with a plan to schedule one or more sessions.

No. Results in dog training can never be guaranteed, and it’s unethical for any trainer to do so. There are many factors that affect results like a dog’s motivation, guardian's commitment and consistency in training, amount of time dedicated to training, what management strategies are in place along with many other factors.

What I can guarantee is that I will always have you and your dog’s best interest at heart. I will use humane-based training methods and will always let the science behind behavior speak for itself instead of guessing why something is happening.
