BOOTCAMP
Our competitively priced hybrid Bootcamp program is perfect for dogs who would benefit from a more intensive training approach and for owners struggling with consistency and follow through at home.
WHAT WE OFFER
Our certified trainers are excited to get your pup started on the right paw! The K9O Bootcamp programs are the ideal training option for owners who have trouble committing to daily training, and dog's requiring consistent feedback to improve overall performance.
Upon completion of our boarding programs, owners receive 2 follow-up lessons to help guide them through their dog's new skills and improve handling. Our hybrid approach of intensive training, followed by our follow-up private lessons with the owner, ensures a smooth transition for everyone!
Each Bootcamp attendee receives a variety of exercises throughout the course of their stay with full utilization of our facilities and training environments. Our Foundations course takes your dog's skills in various settings of the training center, whereas our Advanced and Pro packages include outings to a public place (hardware store, Coop, local park, local trail, etc).
We will supply all training materials based on the level and skills for your program. We kindly ask owners to bring their dog's own food to prevent potential stomach upset and an article of clothing or bedding with a familiar scent.
Please Note: Bootcamp programs are not suitable for dogs with a history of aggression, anxiety, separation issues, compulsive behaviors, or general reactivity. Each session allows for a maximum of 2 participants. so spaces are limited!

OWNER OF FINN
Finn is doing EXCELLENT! We’ve been really consistent with the commands and working with him and have seen an obvious shift in his behavior! We are so proud of him and so thankful for your guys’ help!
After he came back home from your camp we were basically only home for a week and then actually went on another trip but my cousin watched him for us and worked with him the whole time we were gone too. They have a pup around the same age as him at their house so he stayed with them and they worked with both Finn and his “cousin” Sam.
He’s been doing so great since being back home and we are just thrilled! Thank you again!
