During your dog's day at Camp, a certified trainer will conduct an evaluation, assessing how your dog responds to basic commands, cues and distractions. The evaluation helps identify what your dog already knows, areas for improvement and aligns with common training goals. Afterward, you’ll have a one-on-one phone call with our trainers to discuss programs, pricing, and the best fit for you and your dog.

Training requires consistency from both our trainers and you, the owner. While we can't guarantee your dog will reach specific milestones on a set timeline, we guarantee that we will be here to guide and support you with any questions or concerns throughout and after your program.

We offer Fear Free, positive reinforcement training using only force-free methods and we do not use aversive techniques, dominance theory, e-collars or prong collars.

Dogs attend training twice a week, either on Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday schedule, with private lessons held on Fridays. We recommend no more than 3 days per week for training and camp to ensure optimal results.

During your dog's training day, they will have three 30-minute one-on-one sessions with our trainers, focusing on the behaviors and training that matter most to you. Between sessions, they will learn how to decompress and settle in crates before enjoying the remainder of their day in their preferred camp program, either day camp or solo camp.

For your dog's training days, we recommend bringing their breakfast (if eating kibble) or their favorite treats to prevent stomach aches, as we offer treats frequently during sessions.

During training, your trainer will experiment with different positive reinforcement tools to find the best fit for your dog and goals. For dogs that pull, get distracted or show reactivity, a transitional leash or "Sidekick" may be recommended to help guide walking. Your trainer will ensure your dog is comfortable with any tool used, as not every tool works for every dog, and will tailor the approach to what’s most effective.
