Live Your Best Life, Together
Force-Free Training for Urban Dogs and Humans in Denver, CO
City Life Can Be Ruff
Living with a dog in the city is its own lifestyle. Every short potty break also comes with a journey through hallways, the elevator, and lobby. If we're lucky, outside is a wonderland for them, with plenty of sights, sounds, smells, and tastes for their super senses to explore while we do our best to keep them safe on the other end of the leash. If we're not so lucky, those senses turn towards the unknown, just waiting for something to pop out at them around every corner as they vigilantly watch anything that moves.
​
Cities are about as unnatural of an environment as you can find for a dog - they were made by and for humans, after all! That doesn't mean they can't thrive here; it just takes a bit more guidance and attention from their trusted human companion to learn to navigate this brave new world.
​Develop A Bond That Lasts
Fuzzles Dog Training takes a holistic, rewards-based approach to working with dogs that encourages two-way communication and a strong human-canine bond. Training is designed to teach safe, effective, and engaging interaction between you and your dog and establish a lifestyle where everybody's needs are met.
​
Training plans involve learning goals for both you and your furry friend, so they're not getting to have all the fun! While your dog is practicing skills, you'll prepare to use them effectively!

James Aguero
CCDT, CPDT-KA
My name is James, but I also go by Fuzzles! I've worked with dogs and their humans full time in downtown Denver and the surrounding areas since 2017, first by dog walking and boarding, then beginning to train formally in 2020.
I grew up with dogs in the suburbs of Houston and understand that living with a dog downtown is very different by comparison, whether that's the size of available indoor space, amount of activity as soon as you're outside, or frequency of loud noises at all hours.
My goal is to help humans understand their furry companions and give them the tools to succeed in the city. We have learned a lot about dogs in recent decades, yet old myths and misinformation are all over social media. I hope that sharing accurate information with more people will help to improve the lives and welfare of our best friends.
