times for Wag & Train classes.
Wag & Train has two locations: Quality Paws in Denver and VCA Mountainview Animal Hospital in Centennial/ Highlands Ranch (formerly Tenaker Pet Center), which is near Park Meadows Mall. We teach group classes in Denver, and have private sessions, group classes, and board & train at our Highlands Ranch location.
While we would love to be able to expand our Denver classes, the space at VCA Mountainview is spacious and dedicated just to training. We are able to work individually or in groups and have all of our training props and tools there, which benefits both handlers and dogs. We are also able to partner with Mountainview’s boarding program to offer our clients Board & Train for 1 to 2 weeks at a time.
Wag & Train Programs:
Unlimited Training Programs (Centennial/Highlands Ranch only)
Unlimited Training Programs (Centennial/Highlands Ranch only)
These programs are for those people who want to have the option of comprehensive training through many levels of behavior and manners, plus come back for refreshers if need be. This also gives handlers the opportunity to work on problem solving, tricks, and confidence building as an on-going process, plus continue to enrich and build the dog-owner relationship. Start with Super Puppy and go on through Advanced Levels, Tricks, and Agility.
Super Puppy is an on-going class so you can begin as soon as you bring your puppy home. If you enroll your dog in a future Good Manners Class, you can come to 6 Super Puppy Classes for FREE (or until your puppy is ready to graduate).
Super Puppy Drop in classes are 45 minutes long and perfect for puppies 8-18 weeks of age. We focus on teaching bite inhibition, lure reward training, and beginning commands.
$20 each if you take them without Good Manners enrollment.
First set of vaccinations is required.

This class is for dogs who have graduated Super Puppy class, older dogs with no previous formal training, or those who could brush-up on some good manners! This course involves learning all the basic commands necessary for a well-mannered dog. We will also show you the most effective way to help change those unwanted behaviors (jumping, barking, pulling on the leash...) as well as other valuable handling techniques.
