Dog Boot Camp
Sometimes removing a dog from its current environment, circumstances, and relationship dynamics is the best thing we can do to have a fresh start and a better chance of achieving balance and calmness.
Dog Boot Camp is our board and train program designed for busy families who would like an obedient and well-mannered dog but do not have the time to do the initial training. We will do all the training work, the major forklift so to say, and then teach you how to maintain it. This is an intense and comprehensive immersion program. Your dog (older than 6 months, potty trained, and current on vaccinations) will come live with us and will be put into a highly structured and regulated environment. Thru the language of obedience and a new redefined relationship where people are relevant, we will teach him what is allowed and, more importantly, what is not allowed. We will teach him how we would like him to behave. We will drill our expectations and we will hold him accountable to those expectations and more. Our goal is to nurture a calm state of mind, better habits, and much improved decision making.
Dog Boot Camp is not easy and will challenge you and your dog to live and perform beyond your expectations. To be successful, Dog Boot Camp needs buy-in from owners. Your dog will never change unless you expect that change, work for that change, demand that change and hold him accountable when expectations are not met. Ultimately, you are your dog’s most powerful motivator and driver. Your dog will never improve unless you put the time and effort to make that change possible. We can help with a head start but the real work starts when you take him home!

-Prong Collar Fitting & Conditioning
-E-collar Fitting & Conditioning
-Polite Structured Loose Leash Walks
-Off-Leash Walking
