Total Teamwork Training LLC offers puppy classes, family dog training classes, as well as private and semi-private training, along with behavior consultations.
Our recommended training equipment includes a flat buckle collar, a martingale collar, gentle leader, or chest control harness. We strongly advise against the use of flexi-leads, as they are considered dangerous.
Our training philosophy is centered on doing no harm, utilizing easy, effective, and humane methods to teach both humans and canines.
We serve the Colorado Western Slope region and beyond, aiming to help people successfully live with their family dogs.
Our goal is to bring a better understanding of how dogs learn to every family we work with, providing our canine companions with the best opportunity for a happy and stress-free life alongside their human families.
We take joy in sharing the positive impact a well-trained and easy-going dog can bring to any environment.
In addition to our work with dogs and their owners, our founder has a background in coaching and competition with the United States Shooting team.
They spent several years as a competitor and Development Team Coach, working closely with Olympic competitors, coaches, and sports psychology staff.
As a development team coach, they conducted coaching clinics at the Olympic Training Center and conducted workshops and seminars for 4H clubs and other organizations across different states.
Their experience also includes participation in international competitions, coaching seminars with top coaches and Olympic sports psychologists, and obtaining top-level coaching certification through the Olympic Shooting program.
This diverse experience has greatly enhanced our founder’s ability to communicate effectively and create a supportive learning environment for the families and dogs they work with.
Our mission is to transform complex family environments to help their dogs develop as great companions.
We find deep satisfaction in witnessing our ‘families’ and their dogs begin to relax and communicate effectively.
