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!

What 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).

Did the 2 week board and train with my 4 month old puppy, he had so much fun and learned so much. I appreciated the daily videos they post on their YouTube account showing small snippets of the dogs’ day, just gives you a piece of mind that your family member is being well taken care of and having a great time. After his two weeks, they post a video of all learned skills so you can feel confident continuing training at home. Will definitely be boarding pup here for vacations and would definitely recommend to anyone.

Carrie at Dream dog is fantastic! We brought our pup to her for board and train while we were out of town for a week. She accommodated our crazy flight schedule and sent us updates , videos and photos of our puppies progress daily. I am so happy we found Carie, not only did she answer all our questions, she did a great job training our pup! I cant explain how wonderful it was to know our pup was in great hands while we were out of town.

I spoke with Carie after talking with a long list of dog trainers. I had some concerns of a puppy and my kids and she was so kind, informative, and respectful. She walked me through so much and helped me sort out what we needed. I felt so encouraged after talking with her as she guided me without any shame. Can't wait to work with her!

We love delivering to & picking up our happy girl @ Denver Dream Dogs. They love her so much & she's truly learned to play with our pups of all sizes & breeds. The board & train option is fantastic as well!

I am a professional dog trainer myself. I choose to put my puppies into Carie's puppy socialization class because she has a professional and personal understanding of the needs and requirements for early socialization, so critical to puppy development before 16 weeks of age. She offers a very enriching environment as well as teaching humans how to read body language and how to encourage play. Beside that, her people skills are outstanding. She makes going to her sessions lots of fun for puppy and person alike.
