Our Four Week Training Camp Course is a popular program as it is more progressive than the two-week training and minimizes the work you will have to do at home. This training begins to instill the characteristics of a “trained” dog and will enable your dog to be more independent with commands and mannerisms.

Commands Introduced: 

·  “Sit” (Sit on your bottom)

·  “Come” or “Here” (Come when called) 

·  “Down” (Lay down)

·  “Yes” (That is the correct behavior I am looking for) 

·  “No” (This is incorrect behavior) 

·  “Stay” (Stay where you are) 

·  “Drop it” (Drop anything they decide to put into their mouth) 

·  “Place” (Go to place)

Handling: 

Allows your dog to feel comfortable when being picked up and handled by family members, groomers, and veterinarians. Your dog will be comfortable with their faces, paws, ears, and tail to be touched and handled.

Socialization Skills: Your dog will socialize daily with other dogs and both male and female handlers. New people, places and low level distractions are being introduced.

Crate Training: Teaches your dog that the crate is a safe place and their personal home. Your dog will be taught to minimize crying or barking and potty accidents while in the crate. 

House Manners: 

No jumping. dogs will try to jump on you for attention. We will work to prevent and correct this habit.

No nipping. Dogs love to use their mouths to communicate! This can form a bad habit and this program will work to prevent it.

 Leash Manners:

Establishing Routines:

Our trainers will follow a daily routine that they will use throughout the length of the training program. This includes:

Mealtime routine 

Exercise routine

Bedtime routine 

Potty Training: 

Our trainers will continue the lengthy process of correcting your dog from pottying within your house, on the floors, within the crate, or on furniture. Our trainers can work with either potty pad training, outside training and/or doggie door. Please advise your trainer of your preference.
