Busy Dog's Mission
We exist to help families and their dogs build better relationships through positive reinforcement dog training that strengthens bonds and improves communication.
Whether you've been struggling with behavioral issues or you just need help with basic obedience, Busy Dog's team of certified dog trainers has you covered!
How We
Started
Our founder and lead trainer, Carrie started Busy Dog with a passion for dog behavior and wellness. She set out to change the way pet parents interact with their furry friends so they can have a better relationship.
After years of training, it was time to take her passion across Colorado. Busy Dog trainers have now worked with thousands of dogs and continue to impact families every day!
Training Philosophy
Busy Dog uses and teaches positive reinforcement and game-based dog training methods. While many other trainers use harsh discipline to show your dog what they don't want, Busy Dog uses rewards to encourage the behaviors you DO want!
This means that we discover what your dog is motivated by (treats, praise, affection, etc.) and cater our training toward their personality and instinctual needs. This builds trust between you and your dog as we develop the foundational skills they need.
