Our Boot Camps
Beginner
This foundational program is designed to instill basic obedience in your dog while on a standard 6-foot leash. In this stage, your pet will master essential commands including:
- Heel: Teaching your dog to walk calmly at your side, eliminating pulling and erratic movements.
- Sit: Instructing your pet to sit down promptly on command.
- Stay: Training your dog to remain in a sit or standing position until released.
- Down: Commanding your dog to lay down on cue.
- Stay in Down: Reinforcing the down position so that your dog will stay until you signal otherwise.
- Conditioning your pet to automatically sit when you stop walking, enhancing control during walks.
Intermediate
Building on the beginner's curriculum, this intermediate program introduces a higher level of obedience with the goal of getting your dog to comply with commands at increased distances ranging from 10-20 feet. This package includes:
- Distance Control: Extending the range of obedience commands to ensure your dog listens even when further away from you.
- Enhanced Structure: Implementing a more rigorous training regime for improved discipline.
- Long-Distance Stay: Advancing the stay command to function reliably at greater distances.
Advanced
The advanced program encompasses all elements from the beginner and intermediate levels, now progressing to the nuances of off-leash training. Your dog will:
- Increase Compliance Range: Respond consistently to all learned commands at a minimum distance of 30 feet, preparing for off-leash reliability.
- Off-Leash Introduction: Begin the transition from on-leash to off-leash obedience, ensuring your dog's responsiveness without the leash.
Off-Leash
As the pinnacle of the training program, the off-leash package requires that your dog has successfully completed the advanced training. This specialized training focuses on:
- Off-Leash Readiness Evaluation: Assessing your dog's temperament, behaviors, and previous training to determine suitability for off-leash work.
- Customized Off-Leash Program: Tailoring training methods to the unique responses of your dog to off-leash commands for optimal freedom and control.
