Foundation Boot Camp

These are perfect for the green (newly started) dog or handler. They are also a great refresher if you are struggling with your dog. This camp is very popular, in part, because we keep it small to ensure everyone gets a lot of time in the arena. We limit it to six dogs per instructor. Camp activity is planned and orchestrated so all participants are doing the same exercise, which we tweak for each dog and handler. This enables you to hear it, see it and feel it.

Skills we cover in this clinic:

– leadership, respect, trust, and teamwork

– pressure and release to communicate

– what a working mindset looks like

– building confidence

– square flanks 

– stops

– navigating obstacles

– introducing commands

We use goats, sheep, geese, and ducks in this clinic.
