Are you looking for higher level obedience? Is your dog driving you bonkers? Are they friendly but over the top and only listen when they want to? Do they lack impulse control, have MINOR anxiety or exhibit MILD leash reactivity towards other dogs?
If you want your relationship to go to the next level then this is it! This program not only teaches proper leadership, obedience commands, home and public manners to your dog, it also teach YOU how to live and communicate with your dog so you can build a better bond.
Our 14 day Countryside Camp provides several training sessions for your dog throughout the day in various environments and public outings. On drop off day you’ll have your first private lesson so you’re onboard and feeling comfortable. On pick up day, you'll meet with the trainer for your second private lesson to understand how to continue and maintain forming your dogs new habits. A week later you and your dog will return for a 1-2 hour follow-up lesson.
This program includes video of your dogs adventures, tons of educational content, as well as access to our Tails and Trails group handling class.
***For MAJOR behaviors such as dog or human reactivity, biting, or severe anxiety, please contact us to set up a rehabilitation program discussion. Significant behaviors such as these require a minimum 4-6wk stay and are accepted only on a case by case basis.***
