We have over 2 decades of training experience and expertise. We started with dogs that had no hope supposedly, yet we trained and loved them into loving homes. We spent over a decade overseeing the puppy program from 8 week old puppies up to adult dogs for various service dog jobs from therapy to high tasking service work. Basic obedience is a super fun way for us to teach leadership and relationships between you and your beloved K9. Paws Up works with everyone within their budget. We do not sell needless packages. Instead we build relationships and grow off of your referrals. We are now offering Grooming, our first salon is located in Thornton. We also will offer Board and Train if we feel it is the only way to get the needed result for you. Paws Up looks forward to building a Pawsitive relationship with your K9 pack and family. We offer services up and down the I-25 corridor and can serve most of Colorado. My trainers have vast experience and can train any dog and help you with every issue. Paws UP!

Hi, I’m Branden — a professional, mobile canine trainer and handler based in Westminster, CO. I specialize in obedience, behavior modification, and working dog development, and I work with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and behavioral challenges. Whether you’re dealing with leash pulling, poor recall, jumping, or more complex behavioral issues, I’ll build a custom plan to help your dog succeed in real-life environments — at home, in the park, or around distractions. My approach is balanced, practical, and tailored to you and your dog’s unique needs. 🔥 Now Accepting Board & Train Bookings! Looking for a more immersive experience? I also offer a limited number of 2-week private Board & Train programs, where your dog lives and trains with me in a structured home setting — not a kennel. This program is perfect for busy owners or dogs needing focused, accelerated results in obedience, manners, or behavioral reset work. 🗓️ Next availability begins August 27th — reserve early! I offer flexible single sessions, discounted training packages, and free consultations to help you decide what program is best for you. Message me today to get started — I’d love to help you build a better relationship with your dog. — Branden, The Dog Guy 📍 Mobile Trainer | Westminster, CO 🌐 *****************

I’ve been a dog lover since I was born and have been a professional trainer for several years now. I train dogs with positive reinforcement and leave any appointment with the owners and dog(s) much happier with each other. I assess the situation over a phone conversation, and bring my bag of tricks over to help your situation. I specialize in leash training , territorial issues , aggression towards other dogs, counter surfing, food/toy aggression, puppy training, and so much more. And safety is always my first priority!
