Keen K9
Dog Training
Discover the Difference
Overview
Welcome to Keen K9! I offer a range of positive reinforcement training services across the Denver Metro and surrounding areas designed to foster well-behaved and confident dogs. My expertise includes foundational training for puppies, ensuring they get a strong start with essential socialization and basic skills. I also provide comprehensive basic obedience training to reinforce good manners and core commands. To enhance your dog's social skills even further, I organize day field trips that expose them to new real life experiences in a structured way. My specialty is working with reactive dogs, helping them become more comfortable and manageable in challenging situations. While I am dedicated to these areas, I currently do not accept cases involving severe aggression or extreme separation anxiety, but I am happy to provide resources. Let me partner with you to create a harmonious relationship with your canine companion!
About me
My journey with animals began in childhood, where a profound love for pets shaped my path into veterinary medicine. As an adult, this passion led me to work as an emergency vet assistant for five years, where I thrived in high-pressure situations and contributed to running low-cost vaccine clinics across Minnesota. My experience also extended to dog walking with Rover, building lasting relationships with both dogs and their owners.
In 2022, I took a significant step in my career by immersing myself in animal behaviorism. I trained under a certified animal behaviorist, and studied, took seminars, and classes of some of the animal worlds renown behaviorist and trainers, gaining hands-on expertise and starting to build my own cases while working toward my CCPDT-KA certification. My training philosophy centers on positive reinforcement, using rewards to encourage desired behaviors and foster a supportive learning environment and withstanding lifelong bond.
