What is a Boot Camp

A dog boot camp, or board-and-train program, is a popular choice because it provides intensive training for your dog, accelerating their learning. It's like a concentrated version of frequent one-on-one training, offering an intensive program that includes focused dog training as needed. The goal is to accelerate your dog's progress without sacrificing quality. We utilise a carefully designed curriculum to ensure your dog maximises their time with us.

Why is my Boot Camp different

My Boot Camp is a non-residential program where your dog joins me for several hours of training each day with ample time for rest, work and play all designed to maximise their learning. The program length, both in days and hours per day, is flexible and tailored to your dog's specific needs, the required level of training, and your budget.

​

Boot camps run from 9 am to 5 pm, conveniently fitting around your work, university schedule, or weekend plans. Your dog will return home each evening tired but happy, with some simple homework for you to reinforce their learning.

​

Why choose a Boot Camp for your dog?

Dog boot camp is incredibly beneficial in helping to solve a range of behavioural problems and can help teach your dog vital skills. ​

 

How Long Does It Take?

Typically, boot camp is carried out over a period of a few weeks, however, this depends on the level of training your dog needs.  

 

Does Dog Training Boot Camp Work?

Yes! A period of intensive training helps to cement the encouraged behaviours so that they will be more likely to repeat them. At the end of each day we will give you a detailed handover with a small amount of homework. We will show you what they have learnt and how you can help reinforce the new behaviours.

​

When is Boot Camp not a good idea?

If your dog is suffering from separation anxiety, a long time away from you may cause them further distress. In this case, it may be beneficial to ease them into it with smaller, one-off training sessions until they are more comfortable being away.
