Bow Wow Boot Camp Dog Training
Bow Wow Boot Camp Dog Training is our most comprehensive training program.
Dog training camps are an excellent option for puppies, rescue dogs, young dogs, and dogs that need help with obedience and leash walking skills.
Boot Camp allows dogs to learn quickly through consistent daily training, structure, and repetition.
What Dogs Learn in Boot Camp Training
Dogs enrolled in Bow Wow Boot Camp learn both basic and advanced obedience skills, including:
• Sit (verbal command and hand signal)
• Heel / Loose Leash Walking
• Halt / Stop with Auto Sit
• Down (verbal command and hand signal)
• Stay (with distance and distractions)
• Come / Recall (verbal command and hand signal)
These foundational commands help dogs develop focus, calm behavior, and reliable communication with their owners.
Behavior modification training may require additional time depending on the specific behavior being addressed.
Choosing the Right Training Camp Length
The length of Boot Camp depends on the dog’s current training level and learning pace.
Dogs that already understand some obedience commands and only need refinement may qualify for 3–5 night camps.
Dogs that need basic obedience training are typically enrolled in 5–7 night camps, depending on how quickly the dog learns.
Dogs with multiple training challenges or behavior issues may benefit from 7–10+ night camps to allow for more structured training time.
Bow Wow Boot Camp Training Options
In-Home Training Camp With the Trainer
In this option, your dog stays with Dog Trainer Jill Gasparac in her home for the duration of the training camp.
Dogs live and train with the trainer throughout the day, allowing for consistent one-on-one training and structured learning.
Most of the time only one client dog is in training at a time to ensure each dog receives the individual attention needed for the best results. Occasionally, two dogs from the same household may train together.
​
This option provides the most focused training environment for Boot Camp programs.
Training While You Are Away
Boot Camp training can also be done in your home while you are away.
If you are traveling for business, a wedding, or vacation, your dog can receive structured training while remaining in the comfort of their own home.
This option combines professional dog training with pet sitting, making productive use of time when owners are away.
Intensive In-Home Training Sessions
Another option is a series of multiple private training sessions at the client’s home.
These sessions are scheduled close together to build training momentum. Most dogs require 5–10 sessions, depending on how quickly the dog learns.
Homework exercises are provided so owners can continue reinforcing the training between sessions.
Positive Reinforcement Training
All training at See Spot Stay is based on patience, praise, and positive reinforcement.
Our humane dog training methods are widely supported by organizations such as the ASPCA, HSUS, AHA, SPCA, Guide Dogs for the Blind, numerous veterinarians, and Schools of Veterinary Medicine.
Training is designed to help dogs feel confident, calm, and successful while learning how to behave appropriately in everyday situations.
We believe dog training should be safe, structured, and enjoyable for the dog.
