Your dog's personality and abilities are analyzed to develop a specialized training program tailored to meet the needs of your dog. This program trains you to read your dog and have him understand you.

No dog is too old to train. Ivy League Dog Training has made positive improvements in dogs as old as 9 years in areas such as:

  • Gun-shyness
  • Confidence Training
  • Retrieving Training

Bootcamp is a One- or Two-Week program for us to recognize and unleash the powerful resources your dog already possesses. Your dog is immersed in a highly structured, rigorous and enjoyable atmosphere. The boot camp is adjusted to create a personalized experience for your dog. We limit the number of dogs accepted in this specialized program. Depending on the type of program you request (Obedience and Hunt training or Obedience training only) training areas covered are:

  • Socializing Time with Other Dogs
  • Noise and Real World Distraction Conditioning
  • On-on-One Obedience Work (Walking on a leash without pulling, come, sit stay and more)
  • Confidence Training
  • To-Hand Retrieving
  • Gunfire Conditioning
  • Gun Shyness
  • Field Work with Live Birds

Upon completion of the Boot Camp. you and your dog will receive one and one-half to two hours of one- on-one private training with Head Trainer Karl. This will help you take your training relationship with your dog to another level. You will understand how to influence the thoughts, actions, and behaviors in yourself and your dog, creating a more fulfilling partnership between the two of you. You will leave with a thorough understanding of actions and exercises necessary to make this possible.
