Canine Obedience

Denver Dog Works offers obedience classes to meet the needs of your family (and your dog of course!) All of our obedience programs are tailored to your specific requirements. We offer a free evaluation/course consultation to determine which type of program is best for you and your dog.  All of our training programs are under the supervision of Robert Forto, Ph.D. We have several competent, certified trainers who can assist you in your training goals. Our obedience lessons/classes are on a flat rate  pricing structure.

To schedule an evaluation please download our Behavior Fact Sheet and mail it or email it to rforto@denverdogworks.com in or give us a call at 303-752-2818.

Note: All dogs are not eligible for group classes and there may be other limitations and restrictions which we will explain to you in your evaluation.

Obedience

Correcting your dog's problem behaviors is only a phone call away. Your companion needs and thrives on having the knowledge to of value in your life--we can help. Obedience training allows your companion to truly share your life with you because it gives your dog the needed boundaries that they do not have otherwise.

We offer four different obedience programs:  one-on-one lessons and drop-in group classes, individual or private classes, group classes, or our most popular--Board and Train.


Growl Classes

This class is for dogs that are aggressive or show fear-based aggression towards other dogs. These dogs may bark and lunge, growl and show their teeth, and even attack other dogs. Typically owners find that these behaviors get worse over time. This class addresses the underlying reasons for aggressive behavior—stress, fear, and feeling challenged by other dogs. This class requires a thorough evaluation performed by Dr. Robert Forto.
