All Dogs Unleashed Denver ties obedience training to wildfire evacuation prep

All Dogs Unleashed Denver is pitching basic dog obedience as a practical safety tool for Colorado families during wildfire season. The company says its two-week Board and Train program helps dogs respond reliably in stressful evacuation situations, where minutes can matter.

Why it matters: - Colorado wildfire evacuations have already displaced more than 4,000 residents in the southern part of the state this season. - Families with dogs face added risk when pets cannot crate, recall, stay, or walk calmly during an evacuation. - Emergency planners and animal welfare groups say pet readiness can speed evacuations and reduce danger for animals and people.

What happened: - All Dogs Unleashed Denver framed its obedience program as part of wildfire preparedness for Colorado households. - The Denver facility says its Board and Train program runs for two weeks of daily, structured instruction. - The program covers recall, sit and stay, place command, loose-leash walking, boundary obedience, and socialization. - The company says those skills are drilled indoors and outdoors so dogs respond in unfamiliar settings. - The facility is at 2301 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205. - Families can call (720) 310-7337 or visit the Denver website for information or an intake assessment.

The details: - The Aspen Acres Fire across Custer and Pueblo counties drove the largest displacement tied to this season’s evacuations, the release said. - The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region, La Plata County Humane Society, and the Colorado State Forest Service have urged pet owners to practice evacuation drills, stage carriers and leashes, and confirm dogs respond under stress. - The American Red Cross says family disaster plans should include pets and notes that animals become “even more dependent on you for their safety and well-being” during evacuations. - The Colorado State Forest Service tells families to practice evacuating with pets as part of its Ready, Set, Go! program. - More than 80% of Douglas County residents live in a potential wildfire zone, according to county officials. - The 2021 Marshall Fire burned more than 1,000 homes in Boulder County. - Denver households that recreate in foothills and mountain areas face direct wildfire exposure, and urban-core residents can still be affected by smoke and disrupted routines. - Emergency preparedness guidance also stresses keeping vaccination records, microchip information, and current ID tags accessible. - The release says documentation matters only if the animal can be moved quickly.

Between the lines: - All Dogs Unleashed Denver is positioning obedience training as a preparedness service, not just a convenience or behavior program. - The core argument is simple: a dog trained to load, stay, recall, and leash-walk on cue can be evacuated faster than one that panics or resists handling. - The company is also using wildfire season to underscore the value of training that holds up outside the classroom and under stress. - A training representative said the most reliable dogs are the ones that respond in any environment, including loud and unfamiliar settings.

What’s next: - The company says graduates receive guaranteed results and lifetime support. - That support includes refresher sessions and behavioral consultation at no additional charge for the dog’s life. - All Dogs Unleashed Denver is directing interested families to schedule an intake assessment or call for more information.

The bottom line: - The pitch is that obedience training can double as emergency prep when wildfire season turns routine dog handling into a safety issue.
