Training
For Active Daycamp Members Only
Daycamp & Off-Leash Hiking
Training is woven into the entire daycamp experience. On the bus, dogs practice travel skills like staying on their seats and waiting patiently while other pups hop on. During playtime, they follow clear boundaries, and in our group sessions we work on basic commands through games, mini challenges, contests, and structured pack walks in the playyard. When we head out to local trails or small towns, dogs put their skills into action - practicing leash manners, polite greetings, and solid impulse control. We also visit distracting environments like shops, markets, farms, and busy streets so they can learn to stay calm and focused in real-world situations. On off-leash adventures, we reinforce staying with the group, reliable recall, and keeping their attention on the handler
Board & Train
During their boarding stay, we teach our furry students the skills they need to feel confident in a home environment - how to be respectful, calm, and quiet, how to play nicely, and how to greet guests and family members politely. We help them build healthy routines, from eating and resting well to getting plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. We also work on specific behaviors owners may want help with, such as excessive barking, counter surfing, separation anxiety, potty training, etc. Our boarding experience often feels like a mini training program, and many owners are surprised by how quickly pups learn our house rules and begin to follow them with ease
Group Classes, Pack Walks & Private Lessons
Since our pups come from many different backgrounds and face a variety of challenges, from limited socialization to reactivity and fears, Sasha brings her extensive knowledge and experience to support our daycamp clients on a daily basis. She conducts group classes and pack walks, giving owners the chance to practice training skills hands-on with their dogs. She also offers private lessons when she feels a dog would greatly benefit from more individualized guidance. Because real progress happens through consistency at home, we place strong emphasis on pawrents involvement, homework, and staying connected through our client-only training group chat, where tips and support are shared regularly
