Is a 2 week boarding and training program designed for puppies that already have a paw in the right direction. It concentrates on DOGGIE MANNERS and the introduction of commands. This option is for puppies that already have a strong basis in HOUSE BREAKING and CRATE TRAINING. |
All of our Puppy Programs are designed for young dogs between the ages of 12 weeks and 6 months. Teaching DOGGIE MANNERS is the foundation of all our puppy programs. Basic obedience will be introduced using LURE TRAINING and FREE FORM TRAINING techniques and positive reinforcement. CRATE TRAINING and HOUSE BREAKING are also heavily encouraged. At K-9 Bootcamp we only board and train 2 puppies each month to ensure plenty of one-on-one attention. Upon completion of the boarding portion of this program we will return your puppy to your home for your first in-home training session. At that time we will review everything your puppy has learned and answer any questions that you may have. We will address basic dog psychology, proper reinforcement (both positive and negative), and show you how to maintain and increase your puppy's obedience level. We will schedule our next in-home session to be conducted within 7-10 days of your puppy's return home. This session is designed to help with any transitional issues that may arise. The final in-home session is available for your use anytime you choose. This session is designed to be client led which allows us to address any remaining issues, work with the children in the home or to teach fun tricks. These programs also include our comprehensive Training Manual, a K-9 Bootcamp "Puppy Pack", a veterinary checkup and a professional grooming session (bath, brush, and nail trim) prior to going home. |
Is a 4 week boarding and training program designed for puppies with no training experience. The first half of this program concentrates on CRATE TRAINING and HOUSE BREAKING. Once the puppy has a good foundation in Potty Training we then focus on DOGGIE MANNERS and the introduction of basic commands. |

| Will my puppy forget me? The beautiful thing about dogs is that once you are "pack" you are "pack" for life! Your puppy will not forget you and will quickly recognize you upon your return. This will be obvious to you on graduation day when you witness your puppy's excited greeting when you arrive. |
| House Training? Potty Training requires reasonable expectations. No - your dog will not be able to have complete freedom in your home immediately upon his/her return. House breaking is based on consistency. We will establish a good routine for your dog based on your family's schedule. Your puppy will have the knowledge necessary to be successfully house trained (with a little practice) upon their return. Freedom must be earned not given. We will teach you easy to follow guidelines in order to ensure your puppy's house training success. |
| Why is the program so long? Repetition is the key with puppies. In order to ensure that your puppy understands the basic of housetraining, crate training and how to behave in the human world we need to put them into scenarios and help them make the right choices. However, we need to do this without overwhelming them or causing them undue stress. By allowing the extra time we are able to work with each puppy's personality and help them to achieve their training goals. |
| What is a "Puppy Pack"? A Puppy Pack contains one of each of the toys that we recommend, a sturdy leather collar, a sturdy leather leash, a copy of your dog's schedule, a copy of the veterinary checkup, a report card from training, a Certificate of Completion, and a package of the treats that we used while training . |
