About DK Canine Training

What they offer

DK Canine Training works with owners across Northern Colorado. Training starts with a personalized private lesson in Longmont, where the trainer, Kara, evaluates the dog, sets goals and gives guidance that fits the owner's lifestyle, with follow-up support.

Classes and outings

Group classes range from puppy socialization and obedience to specialty classes such as nosework and trick training, and an initial private lesson is required before joining. Training outings are one-on-one sessions in which Kara works with the dog on leash walking, reactivity or calmness in busy places, with progress updates for the owner.

How they train

The services page says the business uses a wide variety of training tools and approaches, keeps biological fulfillment and a dog's genetic makeup in mind, and focuses on impulse control, frustration tolerance and the dog-human relationship. It describes dog training as people training and puts weight on the community of clients it has built.
