Puppy Overnight Camp
Puppy camp is an intensive socialization experience for puppies 14wks and older to gain experience in a variety of social situations, increase their play skills as they socialize with other dogs and unique training and socialization sessions to build confidence, leash walking and people greeting skills.
This unique camp is a week at a time experience where your puppy comes and lives with our family. Living under our roof for a week means that your puppy is immersed in a social experience that is difficult to replicate as our family has raised dozens of our own dogs as well as litters of puppies over the past 28 yrs.
During your puppy’s stay with us he will experience 4 full days at our dog daycare playing with all different breeds and ages of dogs in a carefully choreographed playtime to help him learn the set of skills needed to negotiate the dog world confidently.
The days that your pup is not at daycare will be spent in a home setting with one of our trainers. We will expose your puppy to all kinds of experiences including but not limited to :
- Handling for grooming and veterinary visits
- Resource guarding prevention
- Housebreaking schedule
- Improving crate training skills
- Leash work
- Walking in the neighborhood
- Exposure to bikes, runners, skateboard etc
- Polite Greeting
- Nipping and Biting Feedback and Integration
- Grooming/nail trim and equipment intro
- Kid socialization
- Socializing with our family of Golden Retrievers and learning all the skills associated with being appropriate with older dogs and self control.
These carefully crafted lessons will be at your puppy’s pace so as not to overwhelm him but to build his confidence in layers.
