Julie-McLean-dog-training-wheat-ridge, CO.Today, we’d like to introduce you to Julie McLean.Julie, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?I started training …
Do you feel like your dog is so stuck in its ways, you wish you could reset and start over? With our board and train program – which includes dog daycare – at Zen Doggy Den, you can do just that. When your dog is removed from the environment they are used to misbehaving in, they get a chance to start fresh!
Each session is tailored to your specific dog and situation. The first session always includes leash walking (heel) with sit and self control/patience training. You can then choose, based on your needs, what else will be covered.
While many wish they could take their dogs with them everywhere they go, sometimes it isn’t feasible or simply not in the best interest of the dog. When this is the case, it is important to have a dog boarding facility that you can trust will provide your dog with the best care possible until you return.
At Zen Doggy Den in Wheat Ridge, we focus on quality playtime mixed with necessary rest time as this provides the dogs with a balanced routine to keep them happy and healthy.
We had recently rescued a sweet, 1-year old pit mix named Sugar from an awful situation where she was neglected and kept in a crate 80% of her life, and she was in dire need of training—she’d never been potty trained, she chewed on anything and everything, she was scared of the outdoors and aggressive on walks, had never been socialized with other dogs, and got such crazy zoomies that she’d sprint around the house bouncing off the walls and breaking things right and left. Julie and her staff were so patient, kind, and dedicated to helping Sugar become a happy, well-behaved pup, and their guidance and care made her into a whole new dog! She got to make so many friends and just enjoy life for the first time ever.
My dogs, Bells and Freddy, both absolutely love going to Zen. Bells goes even more often due to being a puppy and a huge handful at home sometimes. I was so anxious about leaving them at a new daycare after the last one we tried was awful. I’m so glad Zen was the next place I tried. My dogs RUN into the building so excited to greet everyone who works there, it seriously warms my heart. Everyone at Zen has been kind and friendly, and clearly loves our dogs. I’m so grateful for how organized they are and how well they take care of our pups. It shows, because they’re all tail wags when it’s time to go back!
My experience with Zen Doggy Den was absolutely amazing!! I couldn’t be happier with the services myself and my puppy Mak received.
To start, the owner Julie is fantastic, I was very nervous about leaving Mak in an unknown place and with pretty much strangers but she took the time to email with me and answer all my questions. She was very sweet and very thorough in explaining the process and what Mak’s day would look like. It provided so much comfort, I signed him up!
Mak attended 3 to 4 days a week and he LOVED it! He made so many friends and would come home tired. Given he is a Lab/Blue Heeler mix this was amazing! He also knew when we pulled into the parking lot where he was and who he was going to see, he would run to the door in so much excitement and greeted everyone with a wiggly butt and lots of licks. Having Mak attend Zen Doggy Den gave him the chance to learn the very important social skills puppies need, while getting lots of play.

Bambi was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter. Moe adopted her and within just a couple weeks realized he didn’t know how to fix some behaviors …
Guess what? Zen Doggy Den is so excited to share this wonderful news with all of you! We have received an award and recognition from a team of dog lovers …
