Meet Your Pup’s New Best Friend: A Tail-Wagging Journey Starts Here
Your local Arvada Dog Trainer🐾
My name is Erin, and I’m a CPDT-KA certified dog trainer with a lifelong love for animals and a professional background rooted in applied behavior analysis and animal care. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with pups of all breeds, ages, and personalities—each one reminding me that training isn’t just about obedience, it’s about building trust, communication, and connection.
My Story
My approach to training is both science-based and heart-centered. I draw from the principles of positive reinforcement and evidence-based behavior strategies to create personalized training plans that work with your dog’s natural instincts—not against them. Whether in a group class full of wagging tails or a private one-on-one session, my mission is always the same: to help you and your pup feel confident, connected, and in sync.
One of the most rewarding parts of my work is getting to know not just the dogs, but their people too. Every dog-parent relationship is unique, and that’s what makes my job so special. I take the time to understand your lifestyle, your goals, and your dog’s quirks and preferences, so we can develop a plan that truly fits your pack.
At home, I’m lucky to share life with my personal pup—a shy but spirited black Lab who’s obsessed with snacks, swimming, and shadowing me everywhere I go. She has been one of my greatest teachers, showing me the importance of listening closely, adapting thoughtfully, and never making assumptions based on breed or past experiences. Her journey has made me a more intuitive, empathetic trainer—and a better dog mom too.
Thank you for welcoming me into your pup’s world. I’m so excited to help guide you both through this next chapter. Whether you're working on basic manners, advanced obedience, or simply trying to better understand your dog’s behavior, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s build something beautiful—one tail wag at a time.
