Colorado Dog Academy believes in the “Wolf Pack Theory”. All dogs share the wolf as their ancestor, therefore domestic dogs have a natural packing instinct. The family becomes the dog’s pack. We help you, the dog owner, understand how to communicate to your dog that you are the pack leader through training and daily interaction. Dogs do not have an understanding of language. When you speak to an untrained dog, you are speaking in a foreign language. Training is necessary to open up lines of communication between you and your dog. Colorado Dog Academy uses the natural method of training, which means we motivate the dog to perform behaviors on their own actual abilities instead of using force. Your dog will learn more easily and enjoy training more by using this method. Dogs do not realize that there are certain behaviors that you do not want them to perform and you need to teach them that there are negative consequences for those behaviors. Colorado Dog Academy will teach you how to properly discipline your dog in a way that it understands naturally, without being abusive.
