Boot Camp Training Programs

​

Our Boot Camp programs are customized training plans designed specifically for your dog. We believe a happy dog is one that clearly understands how to communicate with its humans. Strong communication builds a strong relationship, obedience, and reliability—through clear understanding of commands and expectations. What we do here is teach your dog these essential skills, while also teaching you how to build a stronger bond with your dog and properly use the commands and tools your dog has learned for clear communication and a happier life together.

​

How does it work?​

​

You drop your dog off at our kennel, and typically pick them up about 4 weeks later as a more confident, well-mannered, and obedient companion. We evaluate your dog’s behavior, personality, and specific challenges together with you, then build a training program tailored to your goals and needs. Program length varies depending on the level of training required. Foundation programs are typically 4 weeks, while behavior modification or more severe issues may require additional time.

​

What your dog will learn

​

All dogs completing our 4-week program will develop a solid obedience foundation, along with any specific requests you may have.

​

Core skills include:

 

• Loose leash walking (no pulling)

• Sit, down, and stay

• Automatic sit when you stop walking

• Polite greetings

• Recall (come when called) with front sit

• Sit from down

• Door manners (wait calmly at doors)

• Release command (“OK”)

• “No” command understanding

• Place command

• Crate confidence and comfort

• Structured mental stimulation exercises for “rainy day” training

• Daily socialization with other dogs and humans (when appropriate)

​

 

Why it works for your dog

​

This structured obedience foundation creates a more balanced, confident, and manageable dog. Additional behavior issues can be addressed upon request, including:

​

• Jumping on people

• Counter surfing / stealing food

• Trash diving

• Housebreaking

• Crate training and more

​

Tell us your dog’s specific challenges—we’re here to help.

Pricing varies depending on your dog’s needs and the level of training required. All programs are discussed during an evaluation call. We take a limited number of dogs at a time—please contact us early to reserve your spot (deposit required).

Owner involvement & follow-up

​

This is an intensive, hands-on training program designed for both the dog and the owner. While we train your dog, you will also learn how to maintain and build on the results we achieve together. When you pick up your dog, we will go through everything in detail—both verbally and hands-on—so you fully understand how to continue your dog’s progress at home. You will also receive training videos and guidance for ongoing success. We provide continued support after graduation and follow up as needed. Each client receives three private follow-up sessions a few weeks after completion if additional support is required.

 

Our goal is to ensure every member of your family has full confidence and control of your dog in real-life situations. In some cases, training may include a combination of board-and-train work at our facility and in-home sessions for better real-world transfer.
