Puppy Camp
Our “Right Start” puppy camp is designed to help owners that were well intended when they brought their puppy home, but suffer from time constraints or travel restrictions, or maybe not enough patience to get up in the middle of the night to accommodate baby dog bladders and bowels.
There’s no shame in that.
Lots of people ‘think’ they can, but when it comes to losing sleep and having to clean up messes due to poor timing or too many distractions, may have realized that they weren’t cut out to be ‘puppy parents’. At least through the hard parts, anyway.
We help influence your puppy’s development so their experiences positively shape who they become as adult dogs. During your puppy’s stay, we focus on imprinting appropriate social behavior, identify and encourage an active signal for elimination, create positive and permanent associations with physical handling, restraint and confinement, and lay the foundation for lifelong learning through the introduction of training with positive reinforcement. We engage in healthy socialization, and exposure to new people, surroundings and other animals in ways that owners simply do not have access to, through controlled, environmentally stimulating settings.
We help your puppy:
- Tolerate and accept physical restraint and confinement without protest
- Develop resilience through positive novel experiences
- Learn through the ‘discovery’ process how to earn reinforcement and how to avoid consequences; how to willingly volunteer cooperative behaviors and never engage in dangerous ones
- To accommodate their crate, training equipment and grooming tools that will be used throughout their lives
- Prepare for a lifetime of learning and establishing self control through the application of obedience
All while living securely in our home, with concierge veterinary care, and around-the-clock supervision!
Your puppy will begin to learn how to follow clear auditory and visual cues, and how to accept human leadership willingly and cooperatively.
Our Right Start Puppy Training boot camp program also provides access to our online resources that include reading material, instructional video and other media designed to help puppy boot camp participants practice and maintain the training their new pup has received successfully!
Owners receive
- Additional private lessons after your puppy completes the training
- Online and phone support on the material we cover until your dog reaches 12 months of age
- Training equipment: 6 foot leash and training collar (type will be determined by the trainer)
- Opportunities to participate in any group obedience training once your puppy matures at no additional cost
The first three months of a puppy’s life will shape the dog they become as adults. Why take the chance on potentially messing it up, when you and your pup can learn first-hand, from one of the industry’s most experienced specialist on puppy behavior.
Let us start things off right, from the beginning!

LionheartK9 is top notch. We sent our 14 week old mini goldendoodle, Sonny, to Linda and Peter to teach him the
basics and help him adapt to life in our busy home. He stayed with them for 3 weeks and came home with so many new skills. Even better, Linda and Peter regularly sent us training videos of Linda working with Sonny and talking us through what she was doing so we could reinforce the training when he returned home. The best part is the support that comes with the board-and train. Linda and Peter have come to our home several times to work on behaviors we want to correct and Peter films the interactions so we can refer to it later. Super helpful! Training a puppy is WORK for everyone involved so managing expectations is key, but we are thrilled with the progress that Sonny has made with the foundation that Linda and Peter laid with him and us! Linda is also super responsive via email which is great if we have questions in the moment. We recommend LionheartK9 wholeheartedly.
