Training Camp

What is camp?

Training camp dogs live in Eleza's home.
Every day they get to practice house manners like, waiting at doorways, laying on a dog bed in the living room, and just being a part of every day life.
There are chickens, goats and sheep on the property as well, so your dog will "help" with all the chores that come with having farm critters and learn how to hang out and be calm and listen with them nearby as well.
When your dog is ready for it and has mastered their obedience around the distractions at home, Eleza challenges your dog and takes them out into the community for walks on local trails, to parks, local restaurants with dog friendly patios so that your dog will have the skills to not only behave at home but everywhere you wish to take them.
You can check in on your dog with almost-daily updates to Instagram @pawsinprogress and follow along with their progress.

Camp is designed to give you a jump start on training.
Camp does NOT create a robot dog.
Camp creates a solid foundation so that you and your dog have a clear line of communication to work together.
Eleza believes in working at your dogs level and to progress through the stages of training as they are ready for it.
It's important to push a dogs comfort level to help them grow, but in a structured well planned out manner that sets them up for success.
We have goals for every dog, however if a dog needs more time adjusting, or more time in one area of training than another - Eleza will focus on what is in the dog and owners best interest.
Your dogs training camp experience is unique to them. Every dog is an individual and what they need to succeed is unique to who they are and how they learn best.

Behavior Modification

Results based program 3-6 weeks of camp with
3 Months of follow up Support

This program is specifically for the dogs who are struggling with behaviors like...

Reactivity (Barking OR Lunging at dogs, people, bikes or cars)
Anxiety (An inability to settle)
Fearful (Afraid to go on walks, or be in public spaces)

Behavior is a makeup of : Genetics, Past Experiences and your dogs current environment.

We absolutely can begin to change your dogs current environment to begin creating better past experiences.

With training - tackled at the root cause of the behavior - some behaviors do resolve themselves.

Others are genetic and are not "Fixable" however we can absolutely teach your dog better habits and teach you how to help your dog manage their struggles so that you can live a more enjoyable life together.

This program is 3-6 weeks depending on what YOUR dog needs. Many behavioral cases struggle with insecurity and anxiety and these things take time to build a relationship, build confidence and help heal the inner problems the dog is struggling with.

This is about getting your dog the help they really need and NOT rushing the process and NOT trying to cram them into a shorter program or get a quick fix but really helping your dog on a deeper level for lasting results.
