The Proud Owners, Brenda & Will Miller

As the owners of Playful Pooch, we are committed to providing excellent care and attention to every dog that visits The Pooch.  Our goal is to provide a relaxing and nurturing experience that includes supervised socialization in a safe, clean and fun environment, with lots of personal love and attention from our experienced, caring and certified Pet Care Technicians.

Having spent over twenty years in banking, Will has always been interested in the pet care industry and has taken several classes through the Pet Care Services Association.  He is an ABKA Certified Pet Care Technician.  Brenda has been a financial consultant for over 25 years and now enjoys working at The Pooch with all of our great customers and their pooches.  We were obviously destined to work with dogs, since we met while attending Southern Illinois University in Carbondale which is home to the Salukis!

Most importantly, we are the owners of two rescue dogs, Mollie, a Tibetan Terrier, and Bristol, a Brittany mix.  Bristol loves being the "Top Dog" at The Pooch while Mollie prefers lounging up front in the office.  We couldn't resist showing you their Halloween picture from this year!  Our first dog, Willie, lived to be almost 17 years old and it was hard to find places to leave him while traveling on business and vacations.  It was this struggle to find a suitable place that would provide the extra attention that Willie needed as he got older that led us to enter the dog boarding and daycare business.

Our Great Pooch Staff

Our staff is absolutely the best in town!  We hire only experienced and professionally trained staff members and are one of the few facilities in Denver that have received the Gold Standard Accreditation from the Colorado Association of Dog Daycares.  This is awarded based upon the extensive training that our staff has received.

Glen Cunningham has been with us since we opened in 2007 and has over 20 years of dog training experience.  Glen uses a gentle but consistent approach to work with all our pals who may have some behavioral issues that need some support.

Brittany Bealer has worked with us for over 2 years and has over 5 years of supervisory experience.  We consider her our "idea" person, always searching for new ways to improve our services.

Kelli Scott has been with us for 2 years  and has over 5 years of supervisory experience working with dogs.  Kelli quickly became a wonderful addition to our staff, rounding out all of our services here at The Pooch.

Brad Alston has worked for us for over 3 years and is absolutely crazy about our pooches.  We often find him down on the ground, surrounded by all his buddies and in his lap....even if it's Diesel, a big Rottweiller puppy!!

Sio Glofelty joined us last year and she loves giving the dogs lots of special attention especially during their nice, long relaxing baths with massages.  She has had 5 years of supervisory experience in the dog daycare environment.

Our professionally trained staff always provide lots of love and attention while assuring a fun and very safe monitored play environment. 

Here at The Pooch, we ALL love your dog like one of our own!
