Don’t let the dozens of golden retrievers on my page fool you- I love all dogs (especially the big ones). Some things to consider that will be assessed during our consultation: temperament is much more important than your dogs size. I do not accept puppies that have not received their vaccines and I do not accept females who have had a heat cycle/ over 9 (nine) months without being spayed and I do not accept males after 6 (six) months that are in tact. This is for the safety of all the dogs and *absolutely under no circumstances will I make any exceptions to this rule*. I am sure your reason for wanting to do otherwise is appropriate however I have been doing this long enough to know how greatly the behavior of not just the animal is concerned but how others will respond to them. Happy to discuss this in detail however I am firm in that decision and have not once had an issue with it. Many of my clients I have worked with prior to the mom delivering the pups and any of my clients will attest the commitment I have to their dogs health, safety and longevity. As I share my home with my business, there are some other hard “no’s”: -Dogs who hike their legs indoors or who are beyond an age where potty training should be even discussed. I understand accidents happen with puppies and even senior dogs and that’s understandable but I do not allow animals to use the bathroom indoors otherwise. -Most of the clients I have been involved with since the adoption process have all attended the same training program @ Dog Dynamix in Arvada. While not a requirement by any means, this has allowed the dogs and myself the wonder of exploring anywhere without limitation. Having nine dogs walk step by step at my side while holding their own leashes, sitting when I stop walking without being prompted and holding any position they’re instructed to until told otherwise is truly an incredible site. While I know that this isn’t a reality for every dog, I do require dogs to be well mannered. Dogs should come when called, sit when told and be able to walk on a leash. While I am not a trainer I will certainly be understanding with puppies and can work with you on some tips to set them up for success. I cannot recommend the training at Dog Dynamix highly enough and the only benefit I get for this is the familiarity and satisfaction of a well trained dog. Promise they’re not paying me! - Dogs who are too aggressive or submissive (yes that’s a thing), are possessive of balls or toys to the point money are showing terrible snapping at others are not welcome. It’s okay to love a ball, but it’s another to get angry when you are asked to share it. -Generally all the dogs are fed at the same time, in close proximity to each other. I understand some dogs don’t care to eat around others and can accommodate their need for private dining. Please let me know ahead of time. Lastly and most importantly, the relationship I have with my clients is the greatest blessing and something I hold in the highest of regards. I am a great guy, very easy going and not to toot my own horn but my sense of humor is top notch. Jokes aside, the relationships I have built over the years are built on trust and communication. I expect honesty and transparency from my clients regarding their dogs health, demeanor and what their goals are for their pup. You can expect the same from me. I invest a great deal of time into the selection process to ensure that every dog is a great fit whether it’s for services at home or on the go. *We love all of earths creatures however my insurance company has limitations on some breeds. These include any breed or mix of: American Bulldog, American Pit Bull Terrier, Boxer, Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier, Boston Terrier, Dogo Argentio, Wolf or “Wolf Hybrid”. **Vaccine information will be requested during consult as well as the name and location of the vet you have a a relationship with.

While I loge active dogs that love to fetch, run and hike, I understand that not every dog is capable or willing to be so active. During our consultation we can determine the level of activity your pooch is capable of without it limiting their experience. Some dogs are happy sunbathing all day and that’s totally acceptable. I walk dogs for a few hours around lunch Mon-Fri and usually bring along a guest or two that’s staying with me. It’s not uncommon for us to get walks done early and head west on 70 for an afternoon of wheeling or down south to Glendale Farms for an off leash hike. We do not visit dog parks and while they are a great resource for many dogs we prefer to find healthier ways to socialize and exercise the pups.
