My journey in animal behavior and training began in childhood while working with horses, where I developed a foundation in positive reinforcement techniques and a deep respect for two-way communication. Over the years, I've honed my skills to include a wide array of training methods and tools, such as clickers, harnesses, and more, to cater to dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether you're looking to enhance dog obedience, engage in agility training, or modify pet behavior, my comprehensive, reward-based approach ensures your furry friend thrives.

Customer Reviews

Kasey with Get Sit Done Dogs came into my life at the perfect time. I adopted a special needs puppy and had no idea where to even begin with training. Her gentle guidance and expertise helped me learn how to communicate with my dog and realize he can do anything an able-bodied dog can despite being both deaf and blind. Kasey gave me support when things were hard and confidence when I wasn’t sure what to do next. If you want a kind, compassionate human with years of experience under her belt to help you form a lasting bond with your dog, Kasey is your girl.

- Maggie S

Kasey is the best! I’m so glad I found her, she’s so patient, kind, loving and knowledgeable in dog training. My pup has some behavior issues and can be reactive, and I really like her gentle and positive approach in training. Can wait to see how my dog progresses while working with her.

- Kyla W

We have a 9 month old puppy and thought we had missed the window for training. But then we found Kasey and she is a miracle worker. After just one session our puppy made such great progress. She gave us so many tips and tricks to help us train him and enjoy spending time with him, instead of feeling like he was out of control all of the time. She had different ways of approaching his behavior and tailored it specifically for what we were struggling with. Thank you Kasey!

- Lisa L

Kasey is exceptional. She gets to know the whole family dynamic and teach us how to work with our dog(s). She gave us several pieces of information that just completely changed the dynamic with the leash walking and training overall. 10/10 recommendations her!

- Gabrielle M

Kasey at Get Sit Done is absolutely incredible! She’s not just caring and dependable...she’s become part of my family. From the very first day, her warmth, dedication, and genuine love for what she does have been so clear. She goes above and beyond in every way, and my dog Murphy absolutely adores her! It’s easy to see why, she treats him like her own and always makes sure he’s happy and loved. I’m so thankful for Kasey.

🐶 Certified Dog Trainers in Denver, Colorado


Pet parents in Denver and the surrounding Denver County area, including nearby communities such as Aurora, Arvada, Lakewood, Thornton, Westminster, Centennial, Boulder, Highlands Ranch, Longmont, Castle Rock, often look for a certified dog trainer who can help a dog and their people build a calm, trusting relationship. Trainers like Kasey Dugan focus on positive, science-based methods that fit real life at home and in public. Whether the goal is leash pulling, anxiety, reactivity, or a well-mannered companion, a good trainer shapes each session around the dog’s personality, history, and learning style, so progress feels natural and sustainable.


❤️ Great dog training isn’t just about commands — it’s about connection.


Certified dog trainers work with you as the owner, not only with the dog. They help you read behavior, build clear communication, and set routines that hold up at home and in public. A trainer like Kasey is a coach for both of you.


✅ Training Support for Real-Life Challenges


From everyday manners to more complex behavioral concerns, certified dog trainers in Denver commonly help with:


  • Obedience and focus for home and public settings

  • Leash training and more relaxed, enjoyable walks

  • Reducing anxiety, fear, and reactivity

  • Puppy and new dog foundations for long-term success


Sessions should feel encouraging, practical, and easy to carry into your daily routine. The services listed on this profile show what Kasey offers.


Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers


When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.


For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Kasey Dugan is one way to keep training grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about credentials, and confirming them on the profile, is one of the best ways to make a confident choice.


⭐ Why Pet Parents Book Through PetWorks


Booking through PetWorks gives you more than a list of dog trainers in Denver. It gives you a clearer way to choose.


A profile like Kasey’s lets you review a local professional, read feedback from other pet parents, and book securely through a trusted platform. Many trainers on PetWorks use force-free, positive reinforcement methods grounded in modern behavioral science. Pet parents often look for that supportive, judgment-free approach when they decide who to hire.


🦔 How Booking Dog Training in Denver, CO on PetWorks Works


Finding the right dog trainer starts with trust and fit. On this page you can explore Kasey’s profile, read feedback from pet parents across Denver County, and either start a booking with "Book Now" or begin a conversation with "Get Custom Quote" or "Send Message".


Training works best when you begin at the right time. For puppies and newly adopted dogs, early training builds strong habits from the start. For older dogs, challenges like leash pulling, anxiety, or reactivity can improve with consistent, professional guidance, and many pet parents notice meaningful progress within a few sessions.


In Denver and throughout Colorado, demand for experienced, force-free dog trainers often rises in spring and early fall, when routines shift and outdoor activity picks up. Booking a bit ahead can help you get a schedule that works.


Most dog training sessions across the U.S. typically range from $75–$150 per hour, depending on experience, location, and training type. On PetWorks, you can review the services on this profile and choose the option that matches your goals.


All payments are processed securely through PetWorks. Every booking also includes PetWorks Care Coverage, with a dedicated concierge team, added protection, and support throughout your experience. Once you connect, you coordinate scheduling, location, and training goals directly with your trainer.


❓ Dog Training FAQs


How many dog training sessions will I need? Every dog is different, but many pet parents begin to see progress within 2–4 sessions. More complex issues like reactivity or anxiety may take ongoing training and consistency at home.


Do dog trainers offer in-home sessions in Denver, CO? Many trainers on PetWorks offer in-home sessions, local meetups, or virtual coaching. Check the services on Kasey’s profile, or use Get Custom Quote, to confirm what is available.


Can dog training help with aggressive or reactive behavior? Yes. Positive, science-based training can be very effective for reactivity, fear, and certain forms of aggression. A certified professional helps keep that progress safe and lasting.


🐾 Start Building a Better Relationship With Your Dog


Training is an investment in your dog’s happiness, and in your peace of mind.


Explore Kasey’s profile, read reviews from pet parents across Denver County, and take the first step toward a calmer, more confident dog. Availability for trainers in Denver can change week to week, so booking ahead is a good idea.
