About
No Treats, No Clickers, No Shock Collars, No Gimmicks ™
The Always Faithful Dog Training method aims to help you understand your dog's language, which we refer to as Leadership Dog Training.
As pack animals, dogs naturally seek to follow a leader. Our leadership-focused techniques empower you to become that pack leader.
Common dog behaviors such as pulling on the leash, jumping, barking, digging, and not paying attention are indicators that your dog is trying to take the lead. Our private in-home lessons will promptly address these behaviors and equip you with the skills needed to sustain your leadership.

Rich has been wonderful to work with. The puppy phase can be challenging, and Rich has made it so much easier. He’s come to both my home and office for training sessions and even boarded Watson when I’ve traveled. He offers a range of strategies tailored to both my puppy and me, and his training philosophy aligns with my own. That has made all the difference. With consistency on my part, success has felt genuinely attainable. A happy dog is a joy, and a well-trained happy dog is even better, because then everyone’s happy. That’s exactly what Rich has helped us achieve, and we’re grateful.

I can't recommend Always Faithful DogTraining of CO enough. They were professional, kind, and amazing with our dog. If you are looking for a trainer who genuinely cares and gets results, look no further.

I had a great experience with Rich and his team! The leadership and communication he uses during training is so simple and makes sense when you see it in action. Highly recommend!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our prices are determined by the number of lessons performed. We offer a 10% discount to active military, police, or fire department employees.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We schedule an in-home assessment to understand the goals of our client with their dog. Once we complete the assessment we suggest how to approach the lessons and schedule.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
All trainers are trained by our Master dog trainer. Our Master dog trainer has trained over 10,000 dogs and each trainer must meet a minimum qualification of dog handling with a senior trainer, prior to training on their own. We also receive on-going education and support from our Master trainer to guide our methods for any unfamiliar behavioral issues we need to address with our clients' dog.
