Boot Camp – $1,000

The Dog Stop’s Boot Camp is an intensive training program where your dog stays with us for two weeks or longer, and is trained daily.

Boot Camp helps habituate dogs to obedience in a fun, enriching environment. Our facility has the resources to expose dogs to stimuli that prepares them for distractions in everyday situations, such as other dogs, strangers, bicyclists, various noises and more.

Boot Camp pricing includes lodging, training, daycare (when appropriate), and an hour of private training with the owner upon pickup.
