Boot camp programs are customized training programs build specifically for your dog. We believe that a happy dog is a dog that knows how to communicate with its humans and communication is strong relationship and obedience (knowledge of commands and tasks). What we do here is teach your dog those skills and teach you how to build strong relationship with your dog and proper use of commands and skills you dog learned for easy communication and happy life together.
How does it works?
You drop your poorly behaving dog at our kennel and pick it up (normally 4 weeks) later well obedient and happy. We evaluate your dog issues and character together with you and build training program depending on your special needs. The length of the program depends on your requests and your goals, foundation programs are 4 weeks long while some behavior modification and severe issues will take longer .

When you come to pick up your graduated student we will go over everything with you, verbal and practice and help you to better understand your best friend. There will be homework for you to do and personal videos and guidance to take home so you can successfully maintain and manage all the good behaviors your dog learned while stayed here at training and we are available for continued support We will follow up with you as much as needed. You will get 3 private follow up sessions couple weeks after completing the program if more work needed with your dog and your family. Our goal is to teach every member in your family how to have full control of your dog in different situations. In some cases we do half time at our place and a second half at your home.
Sully and Kate from Virginia Beach:
I brought my Frenchie to Sharon for help with aggressive behaviors, biting, and difficulty tolerating being pet and handled. I had done obedience classes, worked with a private local trainer, and did inboard training for 4 weeks without any success and the frequency of these behaviors continued to get worse. Three weeks with Sharon finally made a significant difference! It’s definitely in part genetics and his personality so he will never have 100% improvement, however Sharon gave me realistic expectations from the start that it may be about managing his behaviors and they may not be completely resolved. Sharon is an out of the box thinker and came up with creative solutions to help figure out how to address his specific issues. The big difference for me was that she gave me specific individualized feedback for my dog and on picking him up trained me on how to work with him and do things in a way he had learned to tolerate with her. She also gave me ways to adjust his environment and routine at home. He’s been home with me for months now and I’ve continued with all his homework daily. Although he is not perfect the frequency of these behaviors is significantly less now. One of my biggest problems with previous trainers is I felt I didn’t know how to react in situations when he was reactive to convey his behavior was unacceptable. Now I feel I know what to do if he acts this way. I can absolutely recommend Sharon and can't thank her enough for his improvement. She continues to check in and answer questions even after your follow up sessions!
Waylon owner Carrie from Pennsylvania, said oh her FB page:
I am so happy to finally be able to make this post! We just received the last score from AKC and I am proud to announce that Waylon has earned his Virtual Companion Dog obedience title! This gives him the final requirement to receive the Working Dog Supreme title, which is the highest level offered by the Mastiff Club of America!
I have to give credit where credit is due, and I can't possibly thank my friend Sharon Sintra enough for all of the hard work she put in to this for me! I simply don't have the time or the discipline to train for competitive obedience and she is an AMAZING trainer. When I asked her if she could get his CD for me, she told me definitely, and it would take 2-3 months or so. She and WayWay worked so well together that I was able to pick him up exactly 3 *WEEKS* later with all of his videos recorded to submit for his CD-V. Thank you so much, Sharon! This wouldn't have happened without you!
Sharon & Waylon received scores of 190, 190, and 193.5 points (out of a possible 200) on their 3 runs.
