Day school for your dog!
Get a jump start on your dog’s training. Professional trainers work directly with your dog during this intensive 12-day program.
Reap the Benefits of Professional Training!
Enroll your dog in our Manners Boot Camp – Day school for your dog. In this 3-week program your pup will be trained by our experienced, professional trainers. Our Great Puppy Day School for pups under 16 weeks of age has been a huge success. Many clients have been asking for a similar program, but geared toward older puppies and adult dogs. Our new Manners Boot Camp is exactly that!
Your dog’s customized training plan can include our Manners 1 behaviors: loose leash walking, polite people greetings, coming when called, leave it, sit, down, stay, settle/place. Your trainer will create a personalized training plan based on your goals and your dog’s pre-existing skills. We will also provide your dog with multiple walks, daily enrichment activities, socialization with new people, and dog play, if appropriate.
Space is limited so grab your spot now! In this program you’ll drop your dog off at our Richardson location between 7:30 – 8:30 am and pick up between 4:30 – 5:30 pm, Monday – Thursday. We do require all pups to be up to date on vaccinations and be approved for the program through one of our Manners Boot Camp Consultations. The total cost of the program, is $1,920. This includes 2 private lessons with your pup’s trainer, with one of the lessons conducted at your home (within a 25 mile radius of our facility).
