At K-9 Connection, our Boot Camp programs offer a convenient solution for your dog training needs. Simply drop off your dog each day for training with our professional trainers. Along with convenience, this option provides faster results.

The program runs consecutive days, 6 days a week, for a minimum of 6 days. The dogs do not stay overnight; rather, they are picked up every evening, similar to a daycare program.

At the conclusion of your dog's Boot Camp, you will attend a 2-hour private lesson to begin the process of transferring your dog's new habits from our hands to yours. Additional follow-up work is always recommended to provide continued reinforcement and ensure that you and your dog achieve your training goals.

All Boot Camp clients are invited to come in for a FREE initial evaluation prior to making any commitments.

Benefits Of Boot Camp

Faster Results- Your dog learns directly from a professional, and receives several hours of hands-on training each day.
Immersive Learning- The dogs are spending the entire day in a controlled environment where every decision is guided and reinforced. Many dogs find this type of environment to be therapeutic.
Less Stress On You- Let us work through the challenging early stages of training, and the tedious repetition that you may not have time for.
Enhanced Customization- The amount of time we spend with your dog in the Boot Camp program allows us to get to know him or her on a much deeper level. This way we can develop specific strategies and exercises directly targeted toward each individual. This is especially valuable in behavioral cases.

Programs

"JumpStart" 6-day Intensive
A quick start to training.
Let our expert staff work your dog through the tedious early repetitions of training. Dogs will be able to walk politely on leash, hold stay positions for long periods, and we can stop jumping, lunging and other minor behavior problems. This program is appropriate for dogs with no serious aggression or anxiety.

2-3 Week Intensive
With an extended stay, we will be able to work your dog through higher levels of distraction. We will also be able to begin off-leash training, with the appropriate equipment. This program is also well suited for dogs with more severe behavior problems and aggression, or busy families who want their dream dog.

4-Week Intensive
This program is the same as above, and is appropriate for more serious behavior issues, severe aggression cases, or busy families who want their dream dog. Dogs will be fully trained around high levels of distraction. Full off-leash training can be included with appropriate equipment.
