If I Can’t Train Dogs in Denver, I Don’t Want the Job

Here’s the deal. If I can’t wake up every day and dive headfirst into dog training for dogs in Denver, then I’m out. Hard stop. Some people are chasing titles, promotions, or the next startup idea. Me? I’m chasing dogs, like literally, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else.

Because dog training for dogs isn’t just teaching “sit” and “stay.” It’s teaching patience to a family whose puppy thinks the couch is a chew toy. It’s guiding the hyperactive doodle down the street into something resembling a civilized walk. It’s helping anxious dogs feel safe, confident, and calm in a world that’s constantly overwhelming them.

Could I do another job? Sure. Do I want to? Absolutely not. I’d rather wrestle a stubborn Husky in a snowstorm than spend a lifetime in a cubicle staring at charts. At least the Husky has personality.

In Denver, people ask, “How do you put up with all the barking, the pulling, the chaos, the poop?” Easy. Because I get to see the change happen. I get to see the lightbulb moment when the dog (and the human) finally click. That’s worth more than any corner office or endless Google Slide deck.

So no, I don’t have a backup career plan. If I can’t do dog training for dogs in Denver, then count me out. Because once you’ve turned a wild ball of fur into a calm, happy companion, you realize there’s nothing else worth doing.
