 Dog Training Camps ( Board and Train )

Dog Training Camps are unique. Dog Camps are often referred to as Dog Boot Camp or Board and Train. The dogs stay and learn from the dog trainer during the camp. The owners then receive their private dog training at the end of the canine camp. Unlike private lessons, where owners learn to teach commands to their dog and practice on their own, the dog training camp private lesson shows the owner how to continue reinforcing the training they have just learned. Reinforcing commands and applying them toward problem areas immediately after camp gives the owner quick results. It is less time consuming and more successful than training dogs in a private or group session.

Our dog training camps focus on helping you and your dog communicate with each other. Some people refer to these as dog boot camps. First, your dog will be trained to respond consistently to specific commands. We will then challenge them to apply what they have learned when they are working around distractions. At the end of the camp, you will be instructed on how to use the training to deal with behavior problems and implement it into your daily activities.

Our training always starts on-leash and we work toward the goal of a reliable off-leash response. We will work with your dog in many different settings to help them manage obstacles inside and outside of the home.

We specialize in working with dogs who have socialization issues, meaning they become aggressive or uncontrollable when they encounter dogs. This is an issue that will continue to escalate over time so it is important to correct it before it becomes any worse. We also apply distraction correction to the basic commands, so that your dog will learn to cooperate in changing environments.

"Where is my dog? The dog you returned to me cannot be the same dog. This dog walks by my side when on a leash; he sits and stays on command. He no longer jumps on people or furniture. He does not even get car sick like my dog..."

- Don Merson

The Two Week Training Camp, our most popular course, is designed for dogs over 5 months. Dogs learn basic commands such as sit and stay, down and stay, come when called and proper leash walking. This course also addresses behavior issues such as greeting people properly, bolting towards distractions, and lack of self control. Dogs are worked numerous times throughout the day and also receive lots of exercise and personal attention. A private dog training lesson is scheduled at the end of the two week camp to show the owner everything that has been improved upon. All of your questions will be answered in the lesson and you will be instructed on how to continue the training at home to ensure a positive outcome. The two week camp is $1295 and includes boarding and training, dog training equipment, and private lessons for the owner.

The Three Week Training Camp focuses on all the issues the two week camp does, but takes it to the next level. Off leash. Off leash training is difficult and requires time. Often a remote collar is necessary. A Dogtra remote training collar is included in the three week camp. This course can also help to control nusiance behaviors such as unwanted jumping, not coming when called, and can dramatically improve the behavior of dog aggressive dogs. Remote collar dog training will allow an owner to have far more control over their dog without a leash inside as well as outside the house. At Campbell's Canine Camp we have had lots of success with off leash training and have perfected our technique over the years. We are proud to say that we have found a way to apply this specialized training to your dog. The three week camp is $2295 and includes boarding and training, private lessons for the owner, and a Dogtra remote training collar.

The One Week Refresher Camp can be used to address specific basic control problems. This course is more of a refresher camp for dogs that already have a training foundation. Dogs improve on commands such as heel, sit-stay and down-stay. We try to focus on areas where the dog needs the most help. It is often advisable to do a refresher camp after a standard two week camp, if your dog is out of practice due to busy schedules. The one week camp is $750 includes boarding and training, dog training equipment, and a private lesson for the owner.

"...Our dog had been diagnosed by a veterinarian with 'fearful aggression' and had been prescribed 3 different medicines to calm his behavior.
Nothing had worked... we gave Campbell's Canines a try. Our dog spent more than 2 weeks at their home and there was a dramatic transformation... our dog was able to respond to the commands:
sit, heel, stay, and down. Miraculously, he was able to stop whining..."

- Kim Hansen

Follow up for the owner comes with all dog training camps. Follow up refers to continued guidance after the camp is over through email, phone contact or an additional private lesson to insure positive results.
