What is an Evaluation?

An Evaluation is where you bring your dog to the dog school and I meet you and your dog.

I do several tests that tell me about your dog's disposition.

  After I listen to your input - I offer you several solutions with different approaches and prices.
You can start immediately in most cases.

 

Yes I can help - You should call me and come in for an evaluation as soon as possible.

I can make your dog less dangerous and safer to handle.

I can start your dog today if necessary - I always keep 2 openings available for aggressive dogs.

 

 

We are by far the most cost effective Training School in the area. Other schools charge at double what we charge for Bootcamp and the programs aren't remotely familiar..  

It is hard to put an exact cost up here for Bootcamp since every dog and situation is different and  the length of stay can vary dramitically from dog to dog for the Best Results.

 

Private Lessons start at $300 and go up from there.

 

 *With problem dogs it is not wise to cut corners and In most cases the dog will need long term "therapy" - Most of which can be done by you - once I show you how.

 

 Included in Most Bootcamp programs is unlimited owner Handling lessons (valued at $75 per lesson).

 

I keep costs to a minimum by doing all my own work - including my website, all marketing and all dog care at bootcamp.

 

 

 

A dog should start training as soon as they enter your pack (as early as 9 weeks old) - before they start to figure out how to manipulate you - this way you are establishing yourself as leader and instilling obedience as a way of life.

 

 

 

Obedience is the foundation for all control.

 

Using the obedience commands I teach your dog exercises that directly relate to any problems or issues the dog might have. I then use and teach you to use those exercises to maintain the new behavior to your satisfaction.

 

 

 

During protection training your dog is learning to use aggression to get a reaction. In order to ensure that the dog will not use it against any member of the family the dog must clearly understand that you are in control.

By clearly defining your relationship using the obedience routine  - you take control.

 

 

Dogs will "rumble" periodically. Unless it gets out of control it is normal pack behavior. Only when it becomes overly dramatic is it a problem.

 

 

 

No. Everything I do is based on attention. If a dog makes a mistake or isn't doing something we want - I repeat the exercise until the dog responds correctly - then I  praise.

 

 

Here Bootcamp dogs live together, eat together, go outside together and watch each other work. The dog learns to work WITH his pack.

The dog's behavior is also changed by socialization and densitizing him to his environment.

This technique allows me to work on normal activities that can be otherwise difficult such as greeting people at the door in a calm manner, walking in and out to go to the bathroom in a calm controlled manner , lying down and being good while you eat dinner, watch t.v. or the kids play without interruption.

A Kennel doesn't provide the atmosphere for these things to happen. The dog is instead isolated except for a short period of training each day. A dog can also regress in Housebreaking because in most kennels the dog relieves himself the same place he lives.

 

 

 

Everything I do here is unique - from the housing to the training itself. I not only teach your dog the commands but I  teach you (and anyone 8 and older) what to do with those commands.

 

I also love what I do and

I will do my best to help you and your dog.

 I teach you how to be a strong and effective leader.

I teach you how to use the obedience exercises to get the changes in your dog as you so desire.

I offer Unlimited Followup lessons for bootcamp.

 

 

Dogs have minds of their own and any Professional Trainer will only guarantee that they will do their best. Anyone that guarantees more than the commands is not being honest and is telling you what you want to hear.
