About Denver Dream Dog
I specialize in our Board & Train program for puppies, but I also offer Premium Boarding for both puppies AND puppy-loving adult dogs! Your dog will live with me in my home, where we focus daily on carefully selected training goals. The work is demanding, but the environment is fun, with new playmates to romp around with under shady trees. At night, we sleep in the same room so the pups feel cozy and safe. When you pick up your pooch at the end of the program, you receive a free transfer session so you can use your pup's new skills immediately! Does your dog have a few bad habits you could live without? Try an Online Behavior Modification session! It’s easy, flexible, effective and my service area is anywhere you are!

I have a dog that is exhibiting some sort of separation anxiety? He refuses to let anyone but me walk him, if anyone else tries he pees or expresses his anal glands. amongst other things, is this something you have seen, any tips on how to break it?
Hi Taylor! So sorry you are going thru this with your dog. Sounds like time for a game of Open Bar/Closed Bar -- a classic which teaches your dog that good things happen when new people approach. 1. Figure out what your dog loves more than anything in this world. A particular treat? A certain toy? Let's say it's CHICKEN. 2. Simply sit with your dog, feeding him chicken, as the dogwalker stands across the street. Just let your dog watch and eat. 3. Over time, have your walker move slowly, indirectly, but gradually closer. All the time you are shotgunning your dog delicious chicken and praising like crazy! 4. Next, have the walker move farther back. Oh no! The chicken dries up, and the praise stops. 5. Repeat -- the walker approaches, treats and happy talk. The walker moves away, treats disappear. 6. Over time, you will be close enough that your walker can walk beside you. Continue the food, but eventually your walker will take over feeding (and the leash).

Our doodle, Molly, has boarded and trained with Dan and Holly several times over the past year. Dan has worked on training Molly since she was a puppy and sent me videos of his process so I could practice using his methods. He is awesome! Our dog starts wagging her tail and is excited to see him every time we board. Holly sends great videos every few days so you can see what your dog has been doing. I highly recommend Dan and Denver Dream Dog!
I cannot say enough positive things about Carie. Our dog Roux spent two weeks there and she’s like a different dog. She was nipping and jumping a lot on our 5 year old and that has settled down so much and we’re given tools to work with her at home. Before going, Roux was very hi…Read full reviewClose full review
I cannot say enough positive things about Carie. Our dog Roux spent two weeks there and she’s like a different dog. She was nipping and jumping a lot on our 5 year old and that has settled down so much and we’re given tools to work with her at home. Before going, Roux was very high strung and so to teach her a trick it was really hard and stressful for all of us. She was okay on a leash before but now, a dream. Carie gave us some tools to use at home. So freaking worth every cent. We will be spreading the news far and wide and will be sending Roux in when we are out of town.

Our pup, Disco, started with day training with Dan when he was a young pup. We wanted to work on basic skills as well as ensure our Covid pup received some regular socialization. We were always given updates on training as well as videos of the skills worked on. Since, he has boarded several times with Dan and Holly and most recently with Carie. We continued to be updated with videos daily and communication is always responsive (text or email). When we pull up to the house, Disco goes crazy with excitement and can't wait to get inside. This is the only assurance we need that Disco is in the right place, with the best people.
Carie was wonderful with our Australian Shepherd puppy and helped us break through some training barriers with walking manners and recall! We are gladly bringing our pup back in the future.
