Puppy Camp
Our Puppy Camp focuses on early socialization, basic obedience, and housebreaking for young dogs. Through structured play and positive reinforcement, puppies learn essential skills while developing confidence in new environments. The program prepares owners to maintain consistency at home.
Reactive Dog Camp
Specialized training for leash-aggressive or fear-based dogs using desensitization techniques. Our experts address triggers in controlled outdoor settings, rebuilding trust between pets and owners through gradual exposure and clear communication strategies tailored to each dog's needs.
Board and Train
Dogs stay with us for focused, hands-on training covering obedience commands, leash manners, and impulse control. Owners receive follow-up sessions to reinforce learned behaviors, ensuring seamless transitions back to home environments with consistent training protocols.
Adventure Training
Combines obedience drills with hiking and environmental challenges to stimulate dogs mentally and physically. This approach strengthens focus and reliability in distracting settings while building confidence through novel experiences in Northern California's natural landscapes.
Adult Dog Camps
Customized programs for dogs over 18 months address specific behavioral issues like jumping, barking, or recall problems. Training incorporates real-world scenarios to improve responsiveness, using positive reinforcement to establish clear expectations and reinforce long-term habits.
