Ideal age to start and train
We offer our Dog Boot Camp program todogs of all ages. We see a lot of puppies and often train older dogs as well. The notion that you can't teach old dogs new tricks is definitely not true!If your puppy is very young, we generally recommend waiting up to 16 weeks.before sending them to us for training. We can cover a lot more with a 16 week old puppy than we can with a 12 week old puppy!
Professional trainers to take your dog on board

Every dog is different and it takes a trainer who is truly an expert to understand your dog's unique personality.Our experienced trainers help thousands of dogs every year– all have different personalities and characteristics. They can handle everything from shy, submissive dogs to excitable dogs that are always pushing your buttons and trying to run the household! Generally, if your dog suffers from aggression issues or extreme anxiety, we recommend house training as it is more suitable.
Feeding and training tailored to your dog
See how we customize our Dog Boot Camp program to meet your pup's needs:
Know your dog's training needs
The first step in our Dog Boot Camp program is to complete our personalized dog behavior questionnaire.We want to know all about your good and bad behaviorand habits, as well as your training goals. This gives us a lot of information about your dog and allows the trainer to start creating a training plan before you even meet him!
Observe your dog in its surroundings
The next step is when your handler comes to your house to pick up your dog. In this way, the trainer has the opportunity to do soSee your dog in his home environment and discuss the details of what you are looking for. This works much better than having the handler meet your dog for the first time in a kennel when you drop him off. The place where your dog feels most comfortable is the place where the handler can best understand who your dog is. The more the trainer knows about your dog, the more he or she will be able to meet your dog's needs.When we pick things up, we often see things that weren't on the questionnaire.and then we will adjust our training schedule accordingly. Our goal is to fully understand your dog's behavior in your home so that we can achieve the best possible training results!
Get your board and train
After pickup, your trainer will take your dog to your home and really begin the Dog Boot Camp training process! This is a lot of fun and a lot of work for both your dog and the handler. You startWork on each obedience command (heel, sit, stay, down, come)and work at the right pace for your dog. If your dog doesn't know any commands, start the learning phase. If your dog already knows certain commands, he will immediately start avoiding distractions (aka checking an obedience command).
The trainer also works to reinforce new behaviors with your dog.. This includes things like stopping jumping, barking, chewing, and teaching your dog to live in a humane home without anyone getting stressed or frustrated.we approachpotty/steal trainingand use our built-in protocol/timeline to get your pup or dog on track! This is where the dog behavior quiz comes in handy. Your trainer knows your goals and addresses each of your problem areas and goals. For example, if you mentioned attacking guests as a problem, your handler will spend a lot of time working the front door to make sure your dog is learning how to behave!
Use the board and train obedience with daily life
