At Train & Tread Dog Co., my mission is to help dogs in the Greater Denver area live healthier, happier lives by making both training and exercise convenient and accessible for their people. I believe that when a dog's physical and mental needs are met, everything else—behavior, focus, and confidence—begins to fall into place.
Busy schedules, extreme weather, crowded parks, and behavior challenges can make it difficult to provide dogs with the exercise they need. That's where my mobile dog gym comes in. I bring safe, structured workouts directly to your doorstep, giving dogs an opportunity to burn energy in a calm, controlled environment. It's an ideal solution for high-energy dogs, reactive dogs, and multi-dog households with varying exercise needs.
In addition to the mobile gym, I offer positive-only, science-based dog training focused on clear communication, practical skills, and lasting results. Using reward-based methods, I help dogs and their owners build stronger relationships while developing the skills needed for success both at home and in everyday life.
My goal is simple: to help dogs feel better, behave better, and enjoy life with the people who love them.
Hi, I'm Courtney, the trainer behind Train & Tread Dog Co.
My path to dog training has been a little different than most. I hold a bachelor's degree in Digital Media Production, a master's degree in Psychology, and spent more than 15 years in sales and relationship-focused roles. Throughout every stage of my career, one thing remained constant: my love of dogs and my fascination with the bond between dogs and their people.
I'm a CCDT-certified dog trainer through CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, where I studied modern, science-based, positive-only training methods. My approach focuses on building trust, clear communication, and practical skills that help dogs succeed in everyday life.
Some of the dogs closest to my heart have been the more challenging ones. I've personally adopted dogs with anxiety, reactivity, and behavioral struggles, giving me firsthand experience with the frustration, uncertainty, and emotional ups and downs that can come with behavior challenges. Those experiences shaped both my compassion and my training philosophy.
Train & Tread was inspired by something I've seen time and again: when a dog's physical and mental needs are met, behavior, focus, and confidence often improve dramatically. That's why I offer both positive, science-based training and a climate-controlled mobile dog gym, helping dogs get the exercise, enrichment, and guidance they need to thrive.
Every dog is different, so I tailor each session to the dog, the home, and your goals.
