Welcome To Dog Ventures – Thornton Dog Training

Thornton, CO

Having a dog in your home is one thing, having a successful and functional relationship with that same dog is quite another. People are enamored with puppies but tend to lose their patience when they realize how rambunctious young dogs can be. Even older dogs who have never received the discipline they require will act like an unruly pup that can be quite a handful to deal with.

Dog Ventures is the only name that you need to know when it comes to getting this level of professional dog training. You don’t have to feel alone; dog training is not something that should be a DIY project because you lack the expertise to get the job done. Opting for a hands-on training program is one thing, attempting to take on full scale training on your own is quite another.

We can help your dog get the training they crave and enable you and your pooch to build a strong and everlasting relationship. This is about making the most of the time that you and your four-legged buddy have together, which is generally at least a decade. Make the time that you do have as enjoyable as possible for you both, by opting for expert training. We are your Thornton dog trainers.

Thornton Dog Training Services Provided By Dog Ventures

One of the most tragic things that we come across is hearing of a pet owner who has given up on their dog and relinquished ownership, because of the dog’s behavioral issues. Dogs look to us for guidance on how to act, they want to serve humans. Not providing them with the proper tools to make this possible is doing them a disservice.

By making the smart move to get professional training for your dog you can expect:

  • Mobility – Imagine being able to take your dog to all the places you go, or at least a lot of them. More and more businesses are becoming dog-friendly because companies are meeting the demand of their customers. However, the caveat to this is that your dog must play well with others. An unruly dog will not be welcome to dog-friendly establishments, until they are well-behaved.
  • Better Understanding – One of the most frustrating things about being around your dog is the inability to communicate with one another. This is especially true when you feel you just can’t comprehend why your dog acts a certain way. Does your pup just not want to behave? Working with a canine training specialist enables you to gain insight into the world of dog behaviors. This not only helps correct those behavioral issues, it enables you have a better understanding of what makes your pooch act the way he or she does.
  • Safety – Take proper safety precautions for your dog by getting them the training that they want, need and deserve. Dogs that lack the training that they need to act in a well-behaved manner will be more likely to get injured or even killed. Untrained canines will pull their leash, dart after squirrels or even chase other dogs. All your shouting commands will not get them to stop, unless they have been professionally trained. Protect your pooch, and other humans and pups around, by caring enough about their well-being to get them trained.

What Thornton Homeowners Are Saying About Us

There are not enough words to express how thankful I am for Jay Hemmingsen of Dog Ventures Training! When we decided to embark on our puppy journey we knew that we wanted to get a Rhodesian Ridgeback. The more research I did the more I realized a very common theme among Ridgeback owners and breeders; everything we read confirmed the necessity of finding a good trainer as Rhodesians have a tendency to be very independent and stubborn, they do not live to please their people like Labs or Retrievers! However, there was also a lot of research about properly approaching Ridgebacks as they do not respond to typical (intimidating) forms of obedience training! So, before even looking for a puppy, I started trying to find the right trainer for her and came across Dog Ventures Training’s Facebook page! Even without having a puppy or a general date to start lessons, Jay was kind, responsive, and had tons of options and information for me! I knew right away that he was the trainer for us and our future pup! When we finally got our “Mouse” we decided to start puppy training at 12 weeks and from the beginning Jay helped us to understand the expectations we could have of her and what we were committing to! Throughout all of our sessions Jay would listen to my new concerns of the week, he would explain every detail of how to combat my concerns, and how to prevent the new ones that would arise as she developed into her own! He is truly an encyclopedia of knowledge on training and dog behavior! I can legitimately say that, without Jay, we would not have enjoyed this crazy stage of puppyhood as much as we have! He was (and is still) always available, even outside of our sessions, to chat with, to council, and to encourage me! After we completed our puppy course we decided to do e-collar training with Jay as well and once again I was blown away by his knowledge and how differently he approaches training! Jay has a real love for his dogs and always approaches them in the kindest and most loving of ways! With Jay’s approach to training, Mouse has not only become obedient and safe, but she has also retained her sweet nature, is so loving, and a true addition to our family! People are constantly commenting on how amazing our Mouse is, and it’s all because of your knowledge Jay and your unwavering dedication to her and our family! Thank you so much!

I have loved working with Jay. My puppy is about to finish her last session, and because of her training she is a delight to be around. I cannot believe all she has learned as a very young puppy and am confident that, as long as I continue to reinforce her training, she will remember the training provided. Jay is so knowledgeable and has helped train me to observe my dog and recognize what motivates her behavior rather than applying human behavior to a dog. All of this is done in a very positive atmosphere. In the past with previous dogs, have gone the route of pet store group training, and there is no comparison to the individualized training provided by Jay in my home and my puppy’s everyday surroundings. My puppy will be with me a long time, so the cost of individualized training is minimal for the long-term reward.
