The Wagging Tail

Specialties

Through our two core services – Behavior Training and Athletic Activity – we are dedicated to the well-​being of your canine companions.

Behavior Training:

We offer behavior training for dogs in the Denver metro area. Our training approach is the positive reinforcement (reward-​based) methodology, as advocated by the Humane Society, Dumb Friends League, Association of Pet Dog Trainers, and such well-​known trainers as Victoria Stilwell (Animal Planet’s «It’s Me Or The Dog»).

Athletic Activity:

We also offer long distance runs and athletic activity (hikes, snowshoeing, off-​leash park outings) for dogs in Downtown Denver and the immediate surrounding area.

Please let us know how we can meet your dog’s individual needs.

Through ongoing education, private practice, and membership in the APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers) and Colorado Dog Trainers Network, she is committed to continued advancement and providing the most current training techniques grounded in positive reinforcement.

Having just finished her eighth marathon, Hillary can often be found in her sneakers enjoying the outdoors and snuggling strangers’ dogs in the park.
