About Tampa Dog Bootcamp

Training and boarding in Wesley Chapel

Tampa Dog Bootcamp is a dog training and boarding business in Wesley Chapel run by a trainer named Luke, under the motto Stay. Train. Play. Luke writes that he has spent the last seven years learning to rehabilitate dogs, focusing on severe anxiety and aggression and on dogs no one else wants to work with, after jobs that included the police force and serving as a Master of Arms in the US Navy. His own dogs help socialize, rehabilitate and calm the dogs in training.
