Basic Boot Camp

$2,000 per program (contact to confirm)($300 deposit due at booking)

Our full time boot camp is for dogs who need a full reset in order to unlearn significant negative behaviors or get a solid foundation of skills to make life with their owner as stress free as possible. These skills often require multiple daily sessions to set the foundation in the dog's brain for the handler to work with. This camp is designed to get you and your dog off to the strongest start possible. All dogs must be vaccinated due to the large number of exposures they will have while staying at the boot camp and participating in training sessions around the property. We are not liable for a nonvaccinated animal contracting a preventable condition regardless of the health impacts of the condition. Weekends at Home (by request): This is an option for local owners. Handlers will have a bit of "homework" to do over the weekend based on what the dog has learned during the week. It is critical that you as the owner maintain routines and habits so your dog can know what is expected of it and feel safe knowing what will be happening in the near future. Curriculum includes: • Foundation obedience skills • Leash manners and recall • Car manners / public socialization • Unwanted protection behaviors • Fear responses • Dog socialization • House manners (sitting at door vs. running out, sitting at feet vs. jumping on guests, etc.) • Weight loss (you supply the food — we focus on healthy eating habits, exercise routines that take joint condition into account, and interactive games to stimulate mind and body) Keep in mind that part of a boot camp is unlearning the bad habits before the good ones can be formed.
