OUR PROCESS

aodk9 dog training process step1

FORM A BOND

First, we build a bond with your dog while introducing the concept of leash pressure and teaching and rewarding desired behaviors with treats and praise. This builds confidence and a desire to participate in the work!

aodk9 dog training process step2

Set Expectations

Once a bond has been established, and your dog has a clear understanding of our expectations we will continue to reinforce desired behaviors with rewards, and discourage poor and undesired behaviors with corrections.

Remain Consistent

Now that a relationship has been formed through love, trust, and respect, we are able to reinforce the training by remaining consistent. This means consistency in our expectations and our continued practice. Consistency leads to a happy and confident dog who views you as a strong and fair pack leader.

Delivering Consistent, Expert Results

The Board & Train Advantage

Board and Trains allow us to provide you with a much better-trained dog and a much better product overall. There are three main reasons for this:

Quality of Training: Every single interaction with your dog will be guided under the supervision of one of our professional dog trainers. 

Quantity of Training: Your dog will receive between 63 and 105 high-quality sessions during their program.

 We Can Teach Your Dog More: Our comprehensive curriculum allows us to address specific issues for maximum results.

Sporadic and inconsistent training yields sporadic and inconsistent results.

Behavior Modification Training FAQ

Dog Behavior Specialists in Denver

Our Behavior Modification board-and-train program is crafted to resolve a variety of everyday struggles dog owners encounter. Here are some of the top challenges we address:
  • Tension with other dogs or strangers
  • Constant barking or vocalizing
  • Damaging habits like chewing or digging
  • Stress from being alone or separation woes
  • Bouncing on guests or furniture
  • Tugging on the leash or sloppy walking manners
  • Accidents indoors or marking mishaps
  • Overprotectiveness of food, toys, or space
  • Timidity or nervous tendencies
  • Clamoring for attention in disruptive ways
Once your dog masters our Behavior Modification training—commands, communication, and all—they won’t forget it! It’s locked in for life. If they start testing boundaries after coming home (because dogs can get sneaky without consistent rules), our unlimited one-on-one sessions, included in our lifetime guarantee, will snap them right back into shape. We’re always here to keep your dog’s behavior on track, no matter what.

Yes, while it is rare it happens, there have been dogs we have just not been able to train to our standards. If this occurs, we will of course be honest with you and provide a full refund. In the past 1,000 dogs we have trained, there have been between 3-5 dogs that we couldn’t quite reach. We refunded the owners, and continued to help them as best we could. We really care about your dogs, and we care about the integrity of our product. If we can’t help you in a way that we are proud of, we will be honest with you.

We take on even the toughest, most challenging dogs with commitment and care. While “cure” or “fix” isn’t quite the right fit, our Behavior Modification program sets your dog up with clear rules and consistent accountability. We equip you both with practical tools and systems to manage their behavior safely and confidently. Our aim? To unlock a happier, freer life together—opening doors that aggression might have shut. Think of this as a journey, and we’re the essential first step to getting there.

Both of our Board-and-Train Programs come with a guaranteed lifetime support!

We believe that the training doesn’t end after the 3 weeks conclude. We also believe it is our responsibility to make sure we continue to support you and your dog until the training is going well at home. For this reason, we have a robust, year-long post graduation follow-up process where we proactively reach out to you to make sure things are going well at home. Of course, for the rest of your dog’s life, we will always be here in full capacity to assist you.

Professional dog trainer for all breeds and all ages in Denver, Longmont, and all surrounding areas in Colorado.
