Programs

Private sessions run 45 minutes to an hour at the Camden training facility for a $150 investment. Group classes meet on weeknights and Saturday mornings: a Puppy (3-5 months) Skills Class and a Level 1 (6 months and up) Skills Class, each $250 for 4 weeks. The Structured Day Camp takes a maximum of 6 dogs per day and mixes training, enrichment, confidence building and calm socialization, with drop-off from 9am. Board-and-train programs and private structured in-home boarding in Milford round out the options.

Approach

The team describes its training as balanced, pairing fun with structure and love with leadership, focused on progress over perfection, and it encourages owners to keep training at home.
