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.
We've got the answers for your questions
Seriously, if you have any questions about training your dog, we have the answers.
We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.
Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.
All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.
Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.
Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.
Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.
Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
