This is a developmental program designed to:

• Create a quick reflex to the basic obedience commands-Heel, Sit, Stay, Down and Come.
• Expose your dog to "Simulated Homelife" exercises that will help develop good household manners.
• Provide us with an opportunity to observe your dog; to determine the best approach in working with his behavior.
• Provide the owner with private sessions to help maintain the level of communication.
• Provide the owner with consultation and specific exercises to help eliminate undesirable behaviors.
• Strengthen the bond between you and your dog.
• Build your dog's confidence through positive communication.

             Your dog will spend approximately 28 days at our camp. This will provide us with access to train your dog several times a day. The multiple training sessions and observation of your dog over the 4 week training period will give us a great opportunity to get to know your dog. This will help us make excellent training decisions for your dog's development. Once we acheive a consistent reflex to the obedeince commands we will begin to introduce your dog to different training environments. With the manners of a good family dog in mind; we will direct your dog's behavior through typical household situations that we call "Simulated Homelife".

 We provide you with a total of "4" private sessions. The first two sessions will focus on how to maintain the communication between you and your dog. The latter two sessions will focus on specific behavioral issues. Do you want to advance your dog to the next level? Do you have a chronic jumper? We will be able to sit down and look over your wish list (which will be much shorter at this point) and make suggestions to what your approach would be. We will also provide you with a DVD that includes footage of us training your dog!
