Training C.A.M.P.s are our specialty. Our daily C.A.M.P. programs are a wonderful way to obtain professional assistance in training your dog, without the stress and loneliness of sending your dog off to boarding school.
Our signature C.A.M.P. programs provide you a practical approach to dog training - based on the concepts of positive rewards, clear communication, and sensible consequences - that is shaped to meet your particular needs. Since every dog and every family is different, we customize our instruction to resolve the issues. Jumping? Barking? Pulling on leash? All of the above? We focus on the areas that need the most attention in your life with your dog.
Your dog stays with us during the day and goes home to you each evening, Monday through Friday. Each day, your dog enjoys several training sessions with an experienced C.A.M.P. Trainer, plus Lap Time, Nap Time, and (if appropriate) supervised Play Time with other dogs. Each evening, you'll receive a report card of your dog's progress, then you'll take over and work with your dog on simple homework assignments. Every week you will receive a private coaching session with an experienced trainer, so that you can participate in your dog's training progress each step of the way. Your pet will also go on several off-site field trips, plus receive a complimentary visit to the Shampooch on Graduation Day.
The most important element necessary to maintain your pet's training is practice, practice, practice! So we've got some super ways to help you do that. Your Training C.A.M.P. graduate will be eligible for Beyond Basic Obedience 102 (our intermediate obedience class), drop off Refresher Days (a full day of play, love, and maintenance training), and drop off Adventure Hikes (a full day of play, love, and an outdoor hike during which we teach dogs to carry a backpack, walk nicely on leash, how to follow behind on narrow trails and how to work on a long line.)
We are only successful if you and your pet are successful together. Therefore, our Lifetime Guarantee of support, which comes complimentary with every 3-week Training C.A.M.P., means that if you are experiencing any difficulties or questions about your pet's behavior after graduation, you can come back in and have a private coaching lesson with one of our experienced trainers - at no charge.
Selecting the right type and length of C.A.M.P. is typically done after meeting with us for a complimentary Behavior Evaluation. The length of your dog's training with us will usually be between three and four weeks long. Basic 3-week Training C.A.M.P. includes Sit, Down, Shake, Wait, Off, Stay, Leave It, Come Here, walking on a loose leash, working around distractions, and much more. Our 4-week program is for dogs with behavior problems, such as food guarding, aggression towards other dogs or people, etc. We also offer a 1-2 week short course for dogs who already have training, yet need improvement or refreshing, a 1-week JumpStart C.A.M.P./Obedience class combination, and a 2-week course for off-leash radio collar control.
To enroll, call or email us to set up an appointment for a free initial Training and Behavior Evaluation so that we can meet you and your dog and understand your training needs. This meeting is required prior to starting C.A.M.P. so that we are able to customize our program to your family in order to meet your training and behavior goals.
