Training Camp – On Leash Program – $2,600 This is the most effective training program available to suit any of your needs! We recognize that some families may be struggling to break the behavior chain initially, with our Training Camp your dog comes and lives with us for a two week immersion period. We discuss your dogs individual needs in and out of the home and then we tailor a training approach designed to modify those unwanted behaviors and instead show your dog how to happily engage with their handler and reinforce positive behaviors. Your dog begins to learn how to behave polite, calm, and collected while working through any insecurities or fears through confidence building. We address any house manner problems they have, in a structured home environment while getting daily socialization out in public proofing all of their obedience. We also work on their obedience around our resident wallaby, horses, pigs and donkeys.
Each morning your dog goes on a bike ride or a walk, has a structured training session, and then we take them out in public each afternoon to work on their obedience sessions with distractions. We update you with your pups progress at the beginning and end of each week so you know exactly how they are progressing and what their strengths and weaknesses are. We know that you want that perfect pup that lays politely at your feet at your favorite dog friendly patio and that is exactly the situation we put your dog in. When it comes to counter surfing, garbage digging, barking at the doorbell, jumping up on guests, chewing on the couch, these negative behaviors are best addressed where they happen- in a home environment. We don’t keep dogs in a kennel environment because we feel it is a disservice to your dog and does not address behavioral problems most pet owners are having in the house. After we lay your dogs obedience foundation and get your dog accustomed to a structured lifestyle, we bring your dog back home with a one on one hour lesson to show you how to maintain your dogs training through this critical transition period. Our number one goal is ensuring the long term success for you and your dog, we do this by completing two additional follow up private lessons that can be done at your home or in public, so we can address any problems that may arise. Included in this package is three private one hour lessons, your dogs training collar, and a place-bed. Included in your package:
- Initial Behavioral Evaluation
- 2 Weeks of Training
- DAILY public outing field trips
- Daily Exercise through biking and swimming (summer)
- Collar and Place-bed

Training Camp – Aggression Rehabilitation Program – $3,600 This is a 3 week program designed for dogs with extreme reactivity, aggression, or bite histories. These dogs typically need a bit more time to settle in and reinforcement on more positive behaviors. We have worked with and rehabilitated many dogs with single or multiple bite histories in addition to dogs with extreme dog aggression. It is imperative to remember that with dogs who struggle with extreme fear aggression or dogs that have a long history of dog and/ or people aggression may go home on a muzzle if we deem it necessary for public safety. We want to set your dog up for success and that includes teaching your dog appropriate behavioral responses to situations they are known to react aggressively in. When your dog is out in public we show them how to remain neutral in the event of distracting or exciting activity going on around them and how to remain focused and engaged on their handler without exhibiting reactive behaviors. We want your dog proactively engaging with you as opposed to reactively responding to the environment.
