Puppy Camp requires a five week commitment which allows room in the schedule for each dog’s individuality. External factors are taken into consideration; developmental stage, age, confidence level (fearful dogs), and where they fall within their instinctual drives. Any of these factors can change how we approach training with your puppy and your homework assignments will reflect any shifts to the schedule.
Puppy Camp is once a week, 9am-3pm, where owner drops off and picks up puppy at the trainers home in SE Bend. If enrolled in puppy camp, then group support classes are available to the client. (group classes are ALL dog ages)
We focus on helping you raise a dog who has emotional regulation, daily fulfillment, and can function within the lifestyle of your family and local community.
Limited space in Puppy Camp program.
Dogs already enrolled in this program can extend (at a lower rate) or drop once the five week commitment is met.
