Welcome to Journey K9!

 

Professional Dog Training and Behavior Modification for Denver, Colorado and the surrounding areas

 

Our mission at Journey K9 is to help build strong relationships between owners and their dogs. When relationships are built on a foundation of leadership and trust, true transformations take place with your dog. In our experience, most owners struggle with their dog’s behavior due to a break down in communication. At Journey K9, you will learn how to effectively communicate with your dog in a way that makes sense to them. Once the lines of communication are open, it’s amazing how quickly dogs can learn what their owners are looking for. Our system is built on the concept of setting your dog up for success, rather than punishing behaviors you don’t like. We believe that the Journey you are on with your dog will be so much sweeter once you are both on the same page. Let us help you and your dog get your relationship back on track so you can enjoy the Journey to come!


Kolleen has undoubtedly been the single most positive influence in our life and relationship with our two dogs. She did much more than simply teach our dogs how to walk well on a leash or sit on command. She laid the foundation for a better life for our dogs and for a stronger relationship between our dogs and us. And thats something we can never repay her for.

Kolleen is a delight to work with - professional, pleasant, and patient. More importantly, she is really, really effective. Sammy is now a celebrity in our neighborhood because he is so well trained. People will literally stop us on the street to ask us how we got our dog to be so obedient. I always tell them it takes two things: consistency and Kolleen Raitz. We cannot recommend Kolleen highly enough.
