About Us

We are family owned and operated! In December of 2004, we opened The Dillon Dog Den for doggy daycare, boarding and training. Twelve years later, in November of 2016, we opened The Arvada Dog Den. We live on the premises and provide 24-hour care for all of our special canine guests.

Don Drogsvold, owner and trainer, has many years of experience in assessing canine behavior, obedience, and training. Don has been professionally training dogs since 2001. He received his first confirmation championship at the ripe age of 17. In 2004, Don and his wife Shannon opened The Dillon Dog Den in majestic Dillon, Colorado. The Dillon Dog Den was open for 13 years as a doggy daycare, boarding and training facility. Don and Shannon built life long relationships with clients and their dogs. We have continued the same tradition at The Arvada Dog Den.

Together, Don and Shannon are committed to the safety and well being of each and every dog that visits the Arvada Dog Den along with providing a warm, welcoming atmosphere for all of their clients, both canine and human!
