Dog Boarding and Training
Boarding Combined with Training – Boot Camp for Dogs!
The best first step towards a well behaved dog is professional training. A dog boarding and training camp (boot camp for dogs or dog boarding school) is ideal to train basic obedience, socialization, manners, and life skills or training for dogs with behavioral problems – aggressive dogs, reactive dogs or nervous dogs.
We believe that if an unwanted behavior is not addressed, it will not get better and probably will get worse. In this immersive training and through socialization and private one-on-one sessions, we help you address any particular behavioral challenges you want to address and provide you daily communication, pictures and video for you to view the dog’s progress. We’ll help you learn techniques to successfully integrate your dog into your home as a polite member of the family for years to come.
Our trainers specialize in puppy training, where we will start teaching them to focus – how to walk on a leash and come when called, followed by basic obedience training – sit, stay, come, down, heal, etc. Manners and Life Skills training includes riding in a car, visiting pet friendly areas and socializing, both with people and other dogs.
Our behavioral training boot camp is for both puppies and adult dogs. We follow a compassionate, sensible and effective approach in our behavioral training. First step is to understand the behavior and read their body language. Then we manage the unwanted behavior using positive reinforcement.
