I'm not ashamed to admit it: I'm the laziest dog parent on the planet. Like, I make sloths look like they're on Red Bull.
But I've found a way to cheat the system (and my dog's attention span) with the ultimate life hack: a leash tied to my furniture 24/7!
No more getting up to grab the leash from the garage, no more awkward mailman encounters, and no more actual effort required! Just me, my couch, and my trusty sidekick on a leash.
Sure, sometimes they get tangled up like a furry game of Twister, but hey, it's a small price to pay for not having to move from my Netflix binge-watching spot.
The moral of the story? A tethered leash is the key to a happy (and ridiculously lazy) household. So, stay lazy, my friends, and let the good times roll!
Just when you thought dog training couldn't get any wilder... Shadow meets a lion and THREE bears in group class! 🦁🐻🐻🐻
I mean, who needs treats when you've got bears, right? 😂
Watch as Shadow shows off his skills and tries not to get eaten.
Share with friends and family to help Shadow find his forever home—or at least a home without bears.
Just finished a new video featuring the trusty sidekick, Thea, the GSD puppy, and our game-changing training method: 2 Bowls 1 Dog!
Who needs a fancy slow feeder when you can multitask during mealtime? I use this genius technique to teach Thea new skills while she's chomping down on her favorite kibble (or raw/wet food—it works for all you fancy foodies out there!).
Thea's got the E-collar game on lock, responding to levels that are undetectable to humans (I'm pretty sure she's secretly training me).
In this video, we tackle recall, place skills, loose walk, and the most epic command of all: "Go play!" (seriously, it's like a doggy party every time she hears it).
Watch and learn how to level up your pup's training while keeping them fed and happy!
Ever wondered how dog trainers keep their hands clean during training sessions?
In my latest video, I'm spilling the beans!
I'm sharing my top tips for keeping your hands kibble-free!
Adventures with Addie the Dutch Shepherd!🐕🦺
Today, we took her to Bass Pro Shops, and she was a total rockstar 👩🎤
Her tiger stripes blended in so well with the rocks and wood, I had to tie a balloon to her collar so I wouldn't lose her! 🐅

It was chaos at my world-famous dog group class this weekend! 🐾🤣
We took 'stay' to a whole new level...literally! Humans hid on the playground equipment and around corners while the pups showed off their skills.
And the best part? Everyone ended up playing together - dogs and humans alike! 🐾🤹♂️🏰
Who needs obedience training when you can have playground pandemonium? 🐾❤️

Calling all Denver dog owners! 🐾🎉
Don't let the 4th of July fireworks turn your furry friend into a hot mess! 🤯
Follow these tips to ensure a stress-free Independence Day for your pup:
1️⃣ Desensitize your dog to fireworks sounds (aka fart sounds and hot air 🤣)
2️⃣ Create a doggy panic room ( minus the panic)
3️⃣ Tire them out with a pre-fireworks adventure
4️⃣ Stay calm and patient (or fake it like my ex 🤣)
Remember, if all else fails, you can always hide under the bed with your dog - after all, that's what I'll be doing! 😂
Happy 4th of July from The Denver Dog Guru! 🎊

Just when you thought Wash Park was safe...
Norman the Golden Retriever puppy, took his first field trip and left a trail of destruction (and adorable puppy chaos) in his wake!
Watch as he walks like a gentleman, avoids goose poop, and steals hearts!!!
United We Train!
I'm thrilled to share that Norman has finally joined the pack!
All 4 dogs can now train, work, eat, and learn together in harmony.
It's a wild ride, and I often feel like a circus performer, seal trainer, dinosaur tamer, or lion tamer - but it's worth it to see them thrive!

From Chicken Slayer to Model Citizen: Nahla's Redemption Story.
Meet Nahla, the Pitbull who went from zero to hero (after a brief stint as a chicken-napping, yard-crashing outlaw).
After a little "incident" with the neighbor's feathered friend, Nahla found herself in the doggy slammer, followed by a stint on doggy probation. But we believed in her (and her potential for good, not evil).
We've spent the last few lessons teaching Nahla the basics: "Don't eat the chicken," "Don't go through the fence like the Kool Aid Man," and "Please, for the love of all things fluffy, don't chase the geese!" And today, we're putting her to the test at Wash Park in Denver – the ultimate doggy playground.
As you can see, Wash Park is like doggy Disneyland – geese honking, pretty ladies strolling by, and enough sights and sounds to distract even the most focused furry friend. But Nahla's all like, "Nah, I got this. I woke up and chose Non-Violence."
She's crushing it – staying focused, listening to commands, and showing off her newfound self-control.
We're ridiculously proud of Nahla and her progress. She's living proof that with a little patience, love, and proper training, even the most troubled dogs can turn their lives around (and leave their chicken-chasing days behind).

🐾🚀🐶Turning Your Pup into a Leg-Lifting Superstar! 🐶🚀
🌟 Are you tired of living with a furry, adorable, broken sprinkler system? Does your puppy boy dog keep peeing on his own legs, leaving you with awkward, odorous yellow fur? Fear not - ancient dude wisdom is here to save the day!
🎯 Target Practice: Just like those fancy service dog potty areas with fire hydrants, give your pup a target to aim for. No rusty hydrants are needed - a strategically placed garden gnome will do the trick! It's like aiming with a Cheerio in the toilet but for dogs.
🕺 Bros Before Yellow Elbows: Peer pressure works wonders! Arrange a playdate with experienced leg lifters, or take your pup to the park to witness other dogs marking their territory. Soon, your pup will be a pee-stream Picasso in no time!
💇 The Tactical Trim: Opt for a special "tactical trim" at the groomer to redirect the pee stream downward. It's not about a throwback to the '80s bush - just a little manscaping to save those precious legs from a self-inflicted shower.
🏆 Embrace the challenge with humor and grace, knowing that with creativity and patience, your pup will soon be marking his territory like a true champion. Remember, it's all part of the hilarious adventure of pet parenthood with a little dude puppy! 🤣🐶
