Agility

Denver Dog Works offers a foundation class for those interested in fastest growing canine sport, agility. We also work with several local trainers and clubs that can train you and your dog to be one of the fastest agility teams in the area.

  Canine Good Citizen

 

The purpose of the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen Program is to ensure that our favorite companion, the dog, can be a respected member of the community because it is trained to act mannerly in the home, in public places and in the presence of other dogs. The CGC program welcomes both purebred and mixed-breed dogs. The CGC test is non-competitive. All dogs who pass all 10 items of the test receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club. Dogs are not required to perform items on the test with the precision required in formal obedience. Often, the CGC test is used as a guide for evaluating dogs for service and therapy work and for insurance reasons

 

Hunting

We work in conjunction with several local trainers to assist you in your goals of making man's best friend your hunting companion. Whether it is flushing, pointing, or retrieving, our proven training techniques will get you and your dog in the field faster and with better results than most other trainers in the area.
