People sometimes misunderstand dog training. Teaching dog obedience commands such as sit, down and come are great first steps, but do not insure that the dog will progress enough to be consistent when you need them to respond when distracted. When a dog obedience training foundation is properly secured, a puppy or young dog learns how to respond consistently right from the start. So therefore, your dog doesn't have to go back and learn what a command really means. If you teach the dog right the first time, you don't have to reteach.

Let us help you bring out the well trained loving dog you have always wanted. We take the time to gain each dog's trust which helps us achieve much stronger training results. Our training and boarding area is a stress free and comfortable environment. This allows your dog to enjoy and focus on his training. Like people, every dog's personality is different and we need to tailor our approach accordingly. We have dedicated our lives to helping families and busy professionals improve their relationship with their canine companions. We have even saved some dog's lives due to behavior and aggression problems.

One of our training specialties is working with dogs and their owners to overcome behavior problems. We have been very successful at improving dog behavior issues such as dog aggression, shy or fearful dogs, and dogs that have been under socialized. Another specialty is dealing with dogs who are simply out of control due to hyperactivity and stubbornness. There are very few problem behaviors that we can't improve upon. Through patience, love, affection and effective training we are able to address the vast majority of the issues that dogs and their owners experience.

Most dogs and their behavior can be improved upon. Most dogs can be worked with through the use of dog obedience training. There are many approaches to dog training. We have found that our Dog Training Camps are our most successful approach towards successfully improving dog behavior. Our Dog Training Camp allows you to build and improve upon your dog training foundation that your dog receives. Reinforcement of the dog training commands is easier teaching after a dog training camp as compared to teaching your dog on your own. Giving your dog commands that he already knows is easier than the typical private lessons where the commands are shown to you and you teach and practice with your dog on your own.

Dog Training Camps also called dog boot camps or Board and Train by some dog trainers.The training/boarding approach allows us to gain a strong relationship with your dog, making the training process easier. Owners will not need to worry about making arrangements for transportation to and from daily training classes. Dog Training Camps or Board and Train can even take place while owners are on vacation or on a business trip.

Enjoy our website and please feel free to call or email us today with any questions. We would love to discuss your dog and how we might help.

There is nothing worse than going on a trip and worrying or feeling guilty about where your dog is staying. We limit the number of dogs we board at one time so we are able to spend more time with each dog, giving them the love and individual attention they deserve. Your vacation becomes a fun time for them as well. Rather than a large kennel of barking dogs that can leave your animal upset and unsettled for weeks after your trip, at Campbell's, our accommodations are connected to our home. We not only visit with our boarders frequently but are around 24/7 and can respond quickly to any needs that arise. We urge you to read our testimonials to see what our clients say about our services. At Campbell's dog boarding is a not just worry free boarding for you, it is a wonderful experience for your dog.

"...I have now been a dog person for 10 years....
or at least a Campbell dog-trained person. The Campbells have trained both my Bull Mastiffs and I have to say as I walk my dogs through Rock Creek Park, Lafayette Square or Logan Circle my dogs are the calmest, friendliest and best behaved..."
