This camp focuses on the essential foundations needed to guide your puppy towards becoming a happy, socialized, and well-behaved dog. Puppy Camp takes place at my home from 9am to 3pm, once a week (either Tuesday or Thursday) over the course of five weeks. Please note that you will need to drop off and pick up your puppy each day.
Throughout the camp day your puppy gets several individualized one on one training sessions as well as group work.
At the end of each camp day, you’ll receive a verbal summary of the day’s activities. Additionally, you’ll get an email detailing your puppy’s progress. This email includes a breakdown of what we worked on, observations of your puppy’s behavior (both positive and areas for improvement), your homework assignments, and video links showcasing your puppy learning and practicing concepts. I may also include additional dog behavior videos for you to review to support your puppy’s training.
To participate in this program, clients must watch all homework videos within seven days and submit a short video each week of themselves practicing the homework with their puppy. Failure to meet these requirements may result in the termination of your contract.
