About Denver Dog Guru Mindful Dog Training

What they offer

Denver Dog Guru Mindful Dog Training is a private, in-home dog trainer run by Alex Nieto, who lives in Centennial and works with families across the Denver area. Training happens in the dog's real environment: the home, the neighborhood, local parks and the family's daily routine.

Training topics

The site lists basic commands (sit, come, stay, heel, place and leave it), puppy preparation and early socialization, leash skills and reactivity support, household manners such as door chaos and jumping, anxiety, fear and aggressive behavior, and separation anxiety. Specialized work includes crate training, e-collar conditioning and off-leash reliability.

Sessions

Sessions last 75 minutes. The prices page lists a single session ($175) and a four-session package ($600), and says most behavior challenges, especially leash reactivity and anxiety, need several sessions. A free 15-minute phone consultation helps owners choose.

Approach

The approach is described as connection before obedience: clear communication, calm leadership and trust on both ends of the leash, with attention to what the dog's behavior is communicating and what else it needs, such as exercise, play, chewing and rest.
