About Sunnyside Canine Adventures

Lifestyle training in Idaho Falls

Sunnyside Canine Adventures is an Idaho Falls dog trainer that specializes in what it calls lifestyle training, so owners can live the life they want with their dog.

Programs

Day Camp is a one-on-one coaching session at home or a chosen location ($100 per one-hour session). Sleep Away Camp is the board and train version: the dog lives in the trainer's home and joins everyday outings, with an estimated three weeks for dogs 6-9 months old and four weeks for dogs 9 months and up, starting at $800 a week after a free consult. A Private Adventure is a structured walk focused on leash skills and socialization ($50 for one hour). Online Camps are 45-minute virtual sessions ($75). Boot Camp is a 20-day in-home program, one hour a day, five days a week for four weeks, with the owner brought in over time ($2,200).
