We focus on real-world results and practical solutions that work in everyday situations. We don't rely solely on treats or intimidation. Instead, we teach clear communication using appropriate tools and techniques.

Absolutely! The bootcamp addresses common scenarios as well as those specific to your pet. We work on coming when called, leash manners, jumping on people, incessant barking, counter surfing, managing aggression, and resource guarding.

Yes! We can discuss options and explain why certain tools might benefit your dog's training. Together, we will find the most effective and sustainable approach that both you and your dog can succeed with.

We offer workshops and hourly training sessions to accomodate any circumstances. It comes down to time. An intensive bootcamp week is hard to replicate over a longer period of time and with different humans. We’re happy to connect you with clients who had the same concerns, so they can provide you with additional perspective.

Basic tools include a properly fitted collar, leash, and high-value treats. Depending on your dog's needs, we might recommend additional tools. We'll guide you on proper selection and use of any equipment.

Because our adventure hikes are off-leash, we require all participants to complete a bootcamp week. This ensures safety for your dog and a great experience for the pack. After bootcamp, we’ll provide a link you can use to schedule one or more days. On hike day, we’ll pick up your eager dog and drop them off content…and wiped out!

In our bootcamp, your dog will most likely be trained for off-leash recall in the week. We focus a lot of our time together to ensure your dog behaves in a safe, controlled way. Without bootcamp, it will usually take weeks or months to get the same effect, and that will require the humans in the family to learn training techniques as well.

While the first year of a dog’s life is the best time to complete training, it’s possible (contrary to popular belief) to train at any age. Your dog will learn throughout their life, although just like with humans, it’s much faster for them to learn while in the puppy stage.

This is one of the most frequently asked questions. The quick solution to most challenges with uncontrolled dogs is to ignore their behavior. If a dog jumps to greet you, completely ignore their advances. Don’t look at them or engage with them.

In our hourly training sessions, we can come to your home or meet in another area such as a community dog park. For more intensive training, we will board your dog at our personal home. Your dog becomes a member of our pack for the week, learning from both the humans and older dogs.

We certainly understand that quality training is an investment, both in your K9 directly and in your family’s lifestyle. A well-behaved dog is eagerly greeted by your guests, while a poor reputation can keep friends and family away. We’ll work with you to design a financing plan that works best for you.

Yes! We want to partner with you through the ups and downs of your life with your pet. Every Adventure Hike is a reinforcing activity, where your dog thrives by assimilating with the pack in nature. We correct behavior when we notice it. If you notice undesirable behavior at home, give us a call and we’ll be happy to consult over the phone and, if necessary, offer a 1:1 session.
