One Good Dog! Professional Training
Board and Train: Camp Good Dog!This is a training "boot camp" for your dog. Training is full time and concentrated. If you are planning a trip or would like an expedient training experience this may be your best option. What is unique about Camp Good Dog is that your dog lives in my home, just like a member of the family - not in a kennel. This reduces stress which helps with learning! I watch TV or read a book and cuddle and play with each dog every day. Your dog receives training in a real life environment. Along with lots of training, your dog will benefit from play time, daily walks, and weekly field trips in the community to work around distractions. Depending on the length of stay your dogs training can include walking on a loose leash, sit, down, keep off, sit to greet, wait, stay, leave it, quiet, go to your rug, come here, touch, fetch and out, and fun tricks like spin and shake. Two to four week programs are available. You will receive progress reports and private coaching sessions for a smooth transition to your home. You will also have unlimited phone and email support if questions arise. We want you and your dog to be successful, after all, you are a team!

Training Method: One Good Dog believes teaching pet owners the importance of adequate exercise, cannot be stressed enough! Dogs need mental and physical stimulation to be healthy, happy, and relaxed. Especially young dogs and working breeds. An hour daily brisk walk (or two half hour walks) will help with bonding, leadership, and manners (some dogs will need more). "A tired dog is a good dog!" Throwing the ball or playing with other dogs can be very helpful, too. But nothing beats a good brisk walk or jog with a family member! If you work long days then you may want to hire a dog walker or consider a well supervised, clean dog day care a couple of times a week.
Leadership:
It is just as important to educate the people in a dog's life to be good leaders. Some aspects of leadership with our dog are counter-intuitive. Good leaders do not forcibly dominate or intimidate their dog. Good leadership takes charge through setting boundaries and not giving in to demanding, pushy behavior. Dogs should earn petting and praise, work for food and toys. Dogs will feel more secure with naps confined to a crate. Consistent leadership builds a bond between you and your canine companion. Dogs want to please us and they want some one to take charge and protect and direct the "pack". What a relief it is to your dog to give that role over to you.
Training:
Dog training has changed quite a bit in the last ten to fifteen years. We have seen a shift to positive reward based training. Reinforcers have been scientifically proven to be effective in changing behavior. Huh? Treats, praise, petting, even a smile are positive reinforcers. A loud noise, a frown, removing attention (ignoring the dog), etc, are negative reinforcers. We teach you how to use these effectively to train your dog.
We will teach you when and how to correct your dog (never out of anger or frustration). Never hit, kick, pinch, choke or hang a dog. Once a dog understands the behavior desired gentle corrections may be used.
