Board & Train Camps

  • Do you find yourself needing extra help with training your new puppy?
  • Maybe you need a sport specific skill taught but just don’t have the time to lay the foundation work?
  • Is your new puppy a little on the naughty side & you need some help with teaching life skills?
  • Do you have a conformation show dog that needs to get fit for the show season?
    Then a board & train camp is the solution for you! 

Board & Train Camps

Your dog will appreciate a fun filled interactive learning experience, “camp”. My camps are not your traditional board & train situations. Your dog will not be living in a kennel setting, they will be living as part of our family, and training throughout the day. I only accept one dog camper at a time to ensure your dog’s goals & needs are met. Currently I am booking 10 months out.
