Sensible Canine Pet Training using relationship-centered training in Denver, Arvada, Golden, and surrounding areas. Mehak has been training dogs since 2016.

Sensible Canine (Previously Pawsitive Outlook Dog Training/Pawsitive Obedience) was started by Marni Center in 2012 and has grown exponentially since then. We have added new training packages and options focusing on positive reinforcement techniques and creating lasting relationships with dogs and their families. Sensible Canine has added another owner/trainer, Mehak Greenberg, who will be working

hard to collaborate on training cases and add even more features for our clients. Marni has been training dogs since 2012 when she finished her Animal Behavior College Dog Training Certification. She makes it a priority to keep up with the most recent developments in the science of dog training and behavior and is driven by compassion and dedication. Marni has a deep connection to both dogs and their people and loves to see the positive results that working with clients can achieve. She has worked with hundreds of families and their pets in developing strong lifelong relationships built on mutual respect and trust. She holds a Certification in Professional Dog Training - Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA). Mehak stays up to date on her education and keeps up with the most recent developments in the field. Call any time for a free phone consultation and for more information. I look forward to hearing from you! Marni Center and Mehak Greenberg

Our next group class, Sensible Skills, starts on Thursday, 8/21 at 6:30pm and we still have a couple of spots left! We go over all the basics including; focus games, sit, down, stay, leave it, drop it, loose leash walking, polite greetings, relaxing on a mat and come when called. All group classes will be held in Lakewood at Mantayo Kennels.

This is a great class not just for dogs to learn these foundation skills for the first time but is also a great opportunity for dogs who already know these skills to practice them around distraction and other dogs in a safe setting. Contact us now to sign up: https://sensiblecanine.com

Puppy Socialization isn't all about interactions with other dogs. It's important to introduce novel objects, sounds and other sensations that your dog may encounter in the future with positive associations. The more you strategically introduce objects or experiences at a young age, the less likely your adult dog will have fear and anxiety associated with these things in the future. Whether you plan to kayak, paddle board, bike or simply live in the city with fireworks/thunder, starting with experiences early on in small ways and building up the intensity with lots of positive reinforcement will go a long way to get your friend ready for their forever life.

When considering how to set up the most positive social encounters possible for your dog, try adding activities and novel experiences while in the company of other friendly dogs. Instead of simply letting your dogs off leash in the yard with little to no toys or distractions, add opportunities for enrichment such as a dog pool, going for a walk, or simply scavenging for treats tossed in an area. This will help take the pressure off of dogs to interact physically (which can be intimidating and often escalates) and allows for the shared experience to be calmer and more beneficial.

Now more than ever, puppies are in need of homes and we want to help keep your puppies in the comfortable homes you provide. The most important factor in making sure that puppies are well rounded and confident as they mature is positive social encounters.

While unvaccinated puppies need extra safety consideration when planning how you socialize your beloved pet, there are plenty of opportunities to do so in a safe way before your pup develops lasting fears or insecurities as an adolescent. One great option is reaching out to friends or neighbors with puppies or friendly adult dogs who are up to date with vaccinations for positive encounters in a private space.

Could your dog use some good manners like Justice here? We still have a couple of spots left in our next Sensible Skills class starting Thursday, 7/10 at 6:30pm. This is our general manners course where we go over all the basics including; sit, down, stay, leave it, loose leash walking, polite greetings, mat work, the always important recalls, and how to have fun while training! All group classes will be held in Lakewood.

If your dog already has these foundation skills, this can still be a great opportunity for them to practice around other dogs and distractions in a safe setting. Contact us now to sign up: https://sensiblecanine.com

Our last, yet most available featured pet is the one and only Summit Greenberg. This young, spicy girl is well on her way to being voted prom queen next year. Her favorite activities are running around with friends, trying on new clothes (though she often 'accidentally' ingests pieces in her excitement) and going out to eat (anything in the grass will do). While she's often up for an adventure, she also spends ample time cuddling with her family, often in some fairly interesting positions. If you're looking for a beautiful dog to pamper with gifts and affection and take out for a night on the town, look no further, Summit is your girl!

This next bachelor goes by the name Fennec Center. If you're looking for your next Zorro, look no further. This boy is everything fox from his feathery looks and his communicative yips and rants to his sly ability to get into trouble and extremely strong opinions of others. Once you're on the inside, this pup will make you feel like you're the most important thing in the world. In fact, he's been known to protect those he loves in times of turmoil (i.e. when the neighbor dogs walk by in front of our property).

Fennec loves learning about anything and everything and his vocabulary surpasses most others of his species. If you're a thoughtful dog looking for a partner that will challenge your intellect and ability to win them over? Look no further. Fennec is accepting applications (so long as you drop them off at a distance and then walk around at the park down the street for a while so that he can watch intently and make sure you aren't a threat first).

Our next dating profile is for Mr. Mowgli Greenberg. This sweet, sensitive boy loves fighting for possession of a good tug toy, destroying a good pair of new shoes and almost always has one ear up for listening (which is better than most dates we think...). His favorite activities are long walks in the park, wrestling with his younger sister, talking loudly about his day (when no one has asked him) and going on adventures to the same places over and over. In fact, he prefers to eat the same thing, dress the same way, and hang out with the same people daily... This delightful gentleman's biggest fears include unknown doors turning out to be a direct path to the underworld, the possibility that new people or dogs are judging him when they look for one second too long, and loud noises that sound like they too are a direct path to the underworld. Don't let his resting serious face fool you, he can be a real goofball when he wants to be!

Meet this elegant bachelor, Ziggy Center. This fluff ball of a void is a very easy guy to be around. He may fool you by his looks, blending into the background of the night sky but just wait until the carrots and lettuce come out and this guy becomes more outgoing than a solar salesperson. He's been known to dole out generous kisses and show affection in many ways (yes, he licks feet... and yes, he is truly a rabbit...) So if you're looking for a sweet, unassuming lover of a bun with the ability to both blend in and be the life of the party, please inquire about our boy, Ziggy.

We've decided to make dating profiles for our furry family members that support us emotionally and inspire us to work with you and your dogs because... Why wouldn't we?

Starting us off is the relentless lagomorph, the infamous Biscuit Center. Biscuit lives to be pampered, constantly demanding grooming and cuddles from her brother. She'll sit down to a nice meal and order only a salad but as soon as others get their more indulgent meals, has been known to sn**ch their food right out of their mouths. In fact, she's a perfect fit for the lonely bun looking for help loosing weight. Her favorite activities include grunting at animals much bigger than her, rearranging her furniture with true bun shwei, and thumping her feet at unassuming passersby out of distaste for their lack of style.

A quick learning break at IAABC Conference in CO Springs. Maybe we should've been to more cat talks to prep for these lil guys 🤷‍♀️. JK they've found good homes after diligently working to help conference members relax between presentations, but won't be coming home with us.
