About Terroux Dog Training

What they offer

Terroux Dog Training runs group classes and private instruction from the Ralston Valley Canine campus in Arvada. Its programs are Puppy Building Blocks, a Basic Obedience & Behavior course, an advanced Canine Good Citizen course, a reactive dog class and private instruction sessions.

Puppy classes

Puppy Building Blocks is a four-week group class for puppies between 9 and 17 weeks. It combines pre-recorded videos on topics such as house-training, loose-leash walking, recall and touch desensitization with weekly Saturday socialization classes at the facility, which include supervised off-leash and on-leash socialization and time for questions with the trainers.

How they train

The site says it uses primarily positive reinforcement, but not exclusively, and does not use or recommend methods or tools that cause pain, fear, anger, anxiety or mistrust. It recommends a public class over private instruction when the dog and schedule allow, so every member of the household can practice under supervision.
