Padfoot Pets is a dog training business based in Arvada, Colorado, specializing in personalized, science-based training for dogs with challenging behavioral issues such as reactivity, anxiety, aggression, and fear-based behaviors. They serve dog owners in the Denver metro area with in-home and real-world training that focuses on both the dog and the owner through separate coaching and training components. Their approach blends empathy, imagination, and proven positive reinforcement methods to help dogs feel safe and confident while teaching owners how to communicate effectively. They offer one-on-one private sessions, small group classes focused on real-world integration, and a monthly membership with ongoing support, including weekly in-home training sessions, sniffaris, hikes, and discounts.
