Our Service
3-Week Doggie Boot Camp
Give your dog three weeks of personalized, intensive training in a private home environment—not a kennel or high-volume facility.
Your dog lives with Leonard and receives individualized behavior training, structure, real-world experiences, and 24/7 supervision throughout the program.
Only 3 dogs are accepted at a time.
Who Is Boot Camp For?
We Help Dogs With:
- Aggression toward people or other dogs
- Fear and anxiety
- Leash reactivity and pulling
- Excessive barking
- Separation anxiety
- Poor impulse control
- Dogs that have struggled with traditional training
- Families overwhelmed by serious behavior issues
This is advanced behavior modification—not a basic obedience program.
