K9O BOOTCAMP
Our 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.
During their 2 week stay, dogs work intensely along K9ology staff and trainers in a variety of training scenarios and settings. Owners are kept in the loop with daily updates and regular progress reports! Upon completion of the initial training, owners receive three follow up lessons in order to learn how to handle their dog and maintain the training at home.
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!
