FirstBarkMy pup is so excited to see Carie for every cozy stay! He started his boarding experience and training here and I can't imagine him being as happy with anyone else.

About Denver Dream Dog
I specialize in our Board & Train program for puppies, but I also offer Premium Boarding for both puppies AND puppy-loving adult dogs! Your dog will live with me in my home, where we focus daily on carefully selected training goals. The work is demanding, but the environment is fun, with new playmates to romp around with under shady trees. At night, we sleep in the same room so the pups feel cozy and safe. When you pick up your pooch at the end of the program, you receive a free transfer session so you can use your pup's new skills immediately! Does your dog have a few bad habits you could live without? Try an Online Behavior Modification session! It’s easy, flexible, effective and my service area is anywhere you are!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
I have a dog that is exhibiting some sort of separation anxiety? He refuses to let anyone but me walk him, if anyone else tries he pees or expresses his anal glands. amongst other things, is this something you have seen, any tips on how to break it?
Hi Taylor! So sorry you are going thru this with your dog. Sounds like time for a game of Open Bar/Closed Bar -- a classic which teaches your dog that good things happen when new people approach. 1. Figure out what your dog loves more than anything in this world. A particular treat? A certain toy? Let's say it's CHICKEN. 2. Simply sit with your dog, feeding him chicken, as the dogwalker stands across the street. Just let your dog watch and eat. 3. Over time, have your walker move slowly, indirectly, but gradually closer. All the time you are shotgunning your dog delicious chicken and praising like crazy! 4. Next, have the walker move farther back. Oh no! The chicken dries up, and the praise stops. 5. Repeat -- the walker approaches, treats and happy talk. The walker moves away, treats disappear. 6. Over time, you will be close enough that your walker can walk beside you. Continue the food, but eventually your walker will take over feeding (and the leash).

I cannot give enough praise for Carie and Denver Dream Dog! I feel so lucky to have found her to look after my dog any time I’m away. In fact, we started with puppy board and train, which was such a great experience that we’ve have been going back ever since. She is a true dog lover and my little guy loves staying at her house and playing with all of his friends in her home and awesome back yard! I appreciate that Carie is a great communicator too. She is very responsive - scheduling is easy, and she sends the most incredible YouTube videos - it makes me smile to see my dog having a great time! I have a lot of peace of mind knowing I can always count on her to take care of my pupper. If I could give 100 stars I would!!
Carie took incredible care of our beagle puppy throughout his board & train stay. She provided a loving and caring atmosphere and instilled amazing skills. I couldn’t speak higher about the overall experience. Our pup has really retained so much from his stay with Carie and we will surely be back for more!
We sent our crazy 4 month old Irish setter puppy to Dan and Holly for 2.5 weeks and he came back a different dog! The training worked incredible - he was very well behaved when he got back and has remembered all the training. They were caring and attentive and provided lots of updates while they had him. Highly highly recommend them!
I can't thank Dan and Holly enough for the incredible care and training they've provided for my puppy, Hizo (or Mister Hizo, as Dan calls him :))!

I can't thank Dan and Holly enough for the incredible care and training they've provided for my puppy, Hizo (or Mister Hizo, as Dan calls him :))! He first went for a board and train, and since then, he’s been boarding with them regularly. Hizo absolutely loves going there, and I always feel completely at ease knowing he's in such capable hands. Because of Dan and Holly, Hizo is now wonderfully socialized with kids of all ages and other dogs, which has been amazing to see. He LITERALLY leaps with joy every time we pull into Dan's driveway! Their passion for what they do truly shines through in how they care for the dogs. If you’re looking for a place where your dog will be safe, happy, and well-trained, I couldn't recommend Dan and Holly more!"
