Highly recommend the puppy essentials program! 6 sessions for a very reasonable price. We saw big progress during each session and our trainer made sure to address all of our specific concerns by the end of the program. We’re very against choking collars or any kind of training that uses pain and fear. This program is all about positive reinforcement training, and it works! Our sweet golden is so much better behaved now and he does it with a wagging tail and a smile. Thanks guys!
This dog training crew nailed it with the line of services offered. Anyone who knows me knows I love my dog, quite often more than most people! But one thing I cannot tolerate is a dog that has no manners. Yes, they exist, believe it or not. The line of services offered ranges from in-person, one-on-one, and including the owner in the training as well. However, the service that they offer that many others do not is simple, but essential, an evaluation! Evaluations are crucial to you and your pup. This will inevitably steer you both in the right direction. Dogs of Denver offer an in person or virtual evaluation to explore the best options available for you both. What you may think is the biggest issue with your dog, may very well not be. Take it from me, personally. I went through this. I thought my dog needed to be trained on how to accept visitors in my home. I thought this because she would always go under the bed or under the couch when the doorbell rang. Not the case. She actually needed to be trained on how to allow people into her space. Two totally different issues that I had no idea of! Give Dogs of Denver a chance; for you and your pup! You won’t be disappointed.
Cannot recommend enough! My dog Tate is a rescue and has a lot of anxiety, we tried a few different trainers with no success. After getting some tips and training from Happy Paws, he is so much better behaved out in public, listens to us, and has great manners around the house. Thank you so much for your help!!
Having a new puppy is intimidating - so much to learn and wanting to do it right made me so overwhelmed. Dogs of Denver is so accommodating and considerate. I have a really complicated schedule and Samantha worked with me to make sure we got all our sessions scheduled. She was always on time and made sure our training sessions were packed full of good stuff that my puppy, Juniper, is now so much better behaved, has such a solid foundation, and seems much happier now that we have better communication and understanding. I definitely recommend this company to anyone interested in not only training their dog(s) but who also want to understand how to better communicate with them too. I feel I have a better foundation as a dog parent, now, too!
As someone in the animal science field, I’ve seen a lot of relationship dynamics between pets and their owners firsthand. A sad but unfortunate truth that many don't realize is that neglecting to train your pet is choosing to not learn to communicate with them. Obedience training is an especially important step because it lays down your ground rules. This website is great because it has basic online obedience training guides that are essential to a dog’s overall health in cognitive development! Learning basic obedience training aids in developing a healthy relationship and bond between pets and owners by allowing communication and emphasizing trust. These guides break it down step by step to make it easy to understand at an affordable cost. I loved this training guide!
We used the obedience training and it included such great information! There were a lot of great tips and tricks that are not included in your normal internet searches which I found to be extremely beneficial. I was unaware of a lot of things - specifically when it comes to reinforcement and anxiety that I was able to put to good use with my pup! Most importantly, my pup isn't a good listener. I've been able to put the information to good use and while he's a work in progress, I am seeing the progress. Thank you for all the information in your obedience training 101!
Samantha was fantastic in helping us with our new rescue pup, Milo. We did both the One-On-One Essentials and Advanced Course and are very pleased with the skills and progress Milo has been able to learn, now just at a mere 6 months. Samantha was knowledgeable, informative, and helped us focus on specific areas where Milo needed more attention. It was extremely beneficial to have Samantha work with Milo one-on-one and then review the training skills at the end of each session with us. We also loved receiving our weekly email assignment(s), which helped advise us on what to continue focusing on for each week. Milo is still in his puppy stage but we are happy to know he has the skills and ability to flourish as a well trained pup. We plan to continue practicing all his learnings while he continues to mature but will definitely use Dogs of Denver/Samantha again in the future for any additional training needs.
I have had other dog trainers (with other dogs) and this was by far the best experience. From the first contact and all thought the training program, it's been a great experience. Samantha was great and very responsive. She listened to our concerns, frustrations, and difficulties and provided instructions and tips that helped, a lot. I think our little guy, Teddy is going to be the best companion ever.
Our trainer Sam was amazing!! My pup Zoe adored her and we both learned so much from her! She provided me with great tips and is very knowledgeable, professional and sweet! Thanks for all the progress made, Sam!!!
I am absolutely loving the new services, in the training guide. It has definitely helped me learn new ways to teach, and correct some of the bad habits my pup has recently developed. The training guide itself is very easy to follow, and I never felt like I was getting bored with learning how to train my dog more effectively. I also must add the the prices for this program are very affordable, and not outrageously over priced. However I would like to see more options added, especially for head strong pups that this approach does not work on. I think that everyone should visit Dogs of Denver If they've just recently gotten a new four legged friend, or if they already had one an the pup was not adjusting to the approach they were taking before. Over all, I highly recommend Dogs of Denver - Dog Training Co.

Call to BookFrequently Asked Questions About Cat Grooming
What should I expect during a professional cat grooming session?
A typical professional cat grooming session usually begins with a consultation to discuss your cat's needs. The groomer will then examine your cat's coat and skin condition before proceeding with services like brushing to remove loose fur, bathing with cat-specific shampoo, blow-drying, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and any specialized haircuts if needed. Most sessions take between 1-2 hours depending on your cat's coat condition and temperament.
How should I prepare my cat for a grooming appointment?
To prepare your cat for grooming, brush them at home a few days before to remove loose fur and minor tangles. Keep your cat in a secure carrier for transportation. Arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork and allow your cat time to adjust to the new environment. Bring information about your cat's health, temperament, and any areas they're sensitive about. For anxious cats, consider withholding food for 2-3 hours before the appointment to reduce the risk of stress-related nausea.
Why is professional cat grooming important?
Professional cat grooming is important for several reasons: it reduces shedding and hairballs, prevents painful matting, allows early detection of skin issues or parasites, keeps your cat's coat healthy and shiny, reduces dander (helpful for allergy sufferers), and maintains proper hygiene. Professional groomers have specialized tools, products, and techniques to safely handle cats, even those with behavioral challenges. Regular grooming also helps cats become more comfortable with handling, which is beneficial for veterinary visits.
How often should my cat be professionally groomed?
The frequency of professional grooming depends on your cat's coat type, length, and lifestyle. Long-haired breeds like Persians typically need grooming every 4-6 weeks to prevent matting. Medium-haired cats may need grooming every 6-8 weeks, while short-haired cats might only need professional attention every 8-12 weeks or during seasonal shedding periods. Cats with special conditions like obesity or arthritis that prevent self-grooming may need more frequent appointments. Your groomer can recommend an appropriate schedule based on your cat's specific needs.
What's the difference between cat and dog grooming?
Cat grooming differs significantly from dog grooming. Cats have more sensitive skin, requiring gentler handling and cat-specific products. Their grooming sessions are typically shorter to minimize stress. Cats often need specialized restraint techniques and quieter environments. Cat groomers use different tools designed for feline coats and are trained to recognize signs of stress unique to cats. Cat-only grooming facilities eliminate the anxiety many cats experience around dogs, creating a more comfortable experience for your feline friend.
