Colorado Springs
In-Home Dog Trainer
Private, one-on-one lessons.
At your house, with your dog, in the real world where it actually matters.
Most dog training happens in a classroom or a facility. Your dog learns to behave there. Then you go home, and the leash pulling starts again.
Obedience Games is different. I come to you — your home, your neighborhood, your dog’s actual environment — so the training sticks where it counts. Every lesson is one-on-one, built around your specific dog and your specific problems.
WHAT I HELP WITH
Does any of this sound familiar?
- Your dog pulls so hard on the leash you dread walks
- He won’t come when called — especially around distractions
- She jumps on guests, ignores commands, or won’t settle down
- You’ve tried before, but the training didn’t stick at home
These are the problems I work with every day. Whether you have a brand new puppy, a rescue with baggage, or a dog who’s just never learned the rules, I can help.
I also work with aggression, fear, and anxiety — problems that require a more careful, individualized approach than any group class can provide.
HOW IT WORKS
Private Dog Training in Colorado Springs — One-on-One, At Your Home
We start with a free in-home consultation. I come to your house, meet your dog, hear what’s been going on, and give you my honest read on the situation. No pressure, no commitment. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of what’s happening and what it would take to fix it.
If you decide to move forward, I build a training plan around your dog — not a generic curriculum, but a real plan based on what I see. Every session is an hour, weekly, at your home.
My rate is $115 per lesson. Most dogs make meaningful progress in 6–8 sessions. Some need more, some need less — I’ll always tell you where we stand.
THE TRAINING APPROACH
My Job Is to Train You, Not Just Your Dog
The goal isn’t a dog who behaves when I’m in the room. The goal is a dog who behaves for you — on a Tuesday morning walk, at the front door when guests arrive, at the park on a Saturday.
That means you learn alongside your dog. I’ll teach you how to communicate clearly, how to time your corrections and rewards, and how to use obedience to solve behavior problems long after our lessons end.
The heart of my method is something I call Obedience Games — a way of playing with your dog that builds focus, responsiveness, and a stronger relationship between the two of you. It works in high-distraction environments because it’s designed for them.
Here’s a typical training progression:
Early sessions — Foundation
Clear communication, markers, timing, the right use of rewards. First steps toward a loose-leash walk. Focus drills to get your dog’s attention off distractions and onto you.
Middle sessions — Building Obedience
Sit, Down, Place, Heel. Commands that hold. Leash work that moves toward walking together, not fighting each other. Obedience Games introduced and developed.
Later sessions — Real-World Application
We take training out of the house — to a pet store, a park, somewhere genuinely distracting — and put your tools to work in the real world. By the end, you should have a full toolbox and know how to use it.
ABOUT
Colorado Springs Dog Trainer — Personalized, Private, In-Home
I’m a private dog trainer serving Colorado Springs and the surrounding area. I work alone — no staff, no facility, no classes. Just me and your dog and an hour a week at your house.
I got into this work because I believe most dog training misses the point. Dogs don’t misbehave because they’re bad — they misbehave because nobody’s taught them clearly what good looks like. My job is to fix that, and to make sure you have the skills to maintain it.
If you’re looking for a Colorado Springs dog trainer who will come to your home, build a real relationship with you and your dog, and tell you the truth about what’s going on — that’s what I do.
