Ideally, the best way for your dog to be trained is by YOU! However, there are many cases where this isn't possible. Whether it be a busy work schedule, visitors in town, or you just lack the patience for the training, we are happy to offer Residency training (also known as 'Boot Camp' training) where we will do the work for you.

Our 'Boot Camp' training program is different than that of other dog training companies. We are different in that your dog will live in the trainer's home for the entire length of the program (2 or more weeks) . During this time your dog will learn obedience, socialization, potty-training, and general good manners around the house. Other training facilities are set up similar to that of dog shelters, with rows of concrete kennels the dogs only get to escape during their training sessions, constant barking which causes stress, and very little non-training interaction time between your dog and other people. By conducting most of the training in a home setting, your dog will go home with more than just obedience, but also with basic manners for daily living around your house.

Because we limit our 'Boot Camp' program to a few dogs at a time, we are able to offer more training sessions, more play time, more free time, and less stress. And because we do this in the trainer's home, your dog won't forget how to behave when they go back to a 'home' setting.
