Denver Dog Training Jackie Middelhoek

Welcome to Affection & Praise Family Dog Training, Inc., where we believe that the best way to solve your dog's behavior problems is to teach your dog the correct behaviors with kindness and patience.  We offer private virtual and at home lessons so that we can tailor all our dog training/behavior sessions to your specific needs.


We use all positive, scientifically proven dog training and behavior modification techniques.  We specialize in aggressive behavior and child proofing, but we absolutely love to work with puppies so that we can prevent behavior problems from ever taking hold.


Since Affection & Praise Family Dog Training, Inc. was established in the Denver Area in 1996, we have been busy training hundreds of dogs every year.  To see some of our success stories check out our testimonials.
