Dawn Kairns Dog Training - Boulder, CO
As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with over two years of dedicated experience, my passion lies in crafting customized training experiences that strengthen the bond between you and your pet. My services are tailored to puppies and adult dogs of all sizes, from those under 20 lbs to gentle giants over 80 lbs. I proudly serve the Boulder area and am a committed member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) and the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT). Whether it's obedience training or behavior modification, my diverse toolset, including clickers, front-clip harnesses, and long lines, ensures a rewarding training journey for both you and your furry friend.
My mission is clear: to keep your beloved pet at home and out of shelters by fostering a relationship built on trust and understanding. With my personalized approach, I utilize positive reinforcement methods such as praise, affection, toys, and treats to encourage desired behaviors, ensuring a joyful and lasting connection with your dog. As an insured trainer, I understand that life can be unpredictable, which is why I offer flexible mobile services, bringing my expertise directly to your doorstep. Please note that I require a 24-hour cancellation notice, respecting both your time and mine.
I'm also the proud author of "Maggie: The Dog Who Changed My Life," a testament to my lifelong dedication to dogs and their well-being. Let me help you transform your relationship with your pet into one of mutual respect and joy. Ready to get started? Book me through Petworks today!
