Better Manners Private Dog Training - Highlands Ranch, CO
As a professional dog trainer Denver trusts since 2001, I have helped improve the relationships between thousands of dogs and humans. By teaching you how to effectively communicate with your dog and understand the responses they give, you will share a greatly improved relationship and understanding of how to eliminate their unwanted behaviors.
As the former National Training and Franchise Support Manager for the US office of an international dog training franchise, I helped instruct and train over 200 dog trainers in the U.S. I also developed the Advanced Training Program & Master’s Training Classes to raise the skill and education levels of the trainers enrolled.
My mission is to help dogs have better manners and improve their relationships with humans through effective communication and understanding.
Please contact and book me on Petworks. Thank You.
