Customized Puppy Training
Your puppy is one-of-a-kind, and our training reflects that. At Traction Dog Training Club, we tailor our approach to fit your puppy’s unique personality and learning style. While it can be helpful to apply the one-size-fits-all approach of puppy training group classes, we prefer to go further in depth by sending a puppy development expert to your home. There, we customize a behavior approach and schedule to suit your puppy’s individual personality as well as your own home and work schedule. Our puppy training in Boulder and Denver is truly unparalleled.
When you have a puppy in the Critical Socialization Period, you don’t want to take any risks. New puppies come home during the only development period on their lifetime when your choices have permanent influence over their genetic predisposition.

A Well-Rounded Pup
A well-socialized puppy is a happy puppy. Our Denver and Boulder puppy training program goes beyond sit and stay, emphasizing crucial socialization skills. Did you know that over-socialization is equally as detrimental to puppies as under-socialization?
That’s why we take an individualized in-home approach rather than group classes. We teach you to “pick your puppy’s friends” and read their behavior so that you can ensure correct socialization. Socialization should focus on learning to love the crate, setting the right habits for potty training, developing a bond between puppy and owner, and strategic exposure to environmentals.
