Who is Denver Dog Works?

Our Philosophy

At Denver Dog Works we are different from all of the others. Our concept of canine training as we define it, begins when the puppy is born. Training is not simply a set of exercises (loose leash walking, sit, stay, down, down-stay and so on) that a dog must learn when he has reached a certain age. Instead, we approach training holistically as an integrated process that spans the dog's whole lifetime and includes many different facets of the human-canine relationship.

Even though we always insist of the importance of the traditional exercise, we additionally treat many different types of activities as an intrinsic part of training. Training happens on many levels in a dog's life, not just in obedience school. J. Allen Boone put it best in his book, Kinship with All Life when he distinguishes a narrow definition of training from a holistic one:

"If you would understand this secret, you must first understand the distinction between training an animal and educating one. Trained animals are reality easy to turn out. All that is required is a book of instructions, a certain amount of bluff and bluster, and of course the animal. Educating an animal, on the other hand demands keen intelligence, integrity, imagination, and the gentle touch, mentally, vocally and physically."
