What Happens At A Puppy Training Camp Boulder CO Trainers Run

By Jeffrey Foster


When you first bring a new puppy home, everyone loves his engaging personality and winsome looks. It doesn't take long though for the constant barking, resistance to toilet training, and destruction of brand new shoes turns him into the family menace. Around this time, you will either decide to train the animal yourself, enroll both of you in classes, or call a puppy training camp Boulder CO canine lovers have recommended.

Puppies quickly grow into dogs, so training them early is imperative. If you're thinking about sending your pup to one of the camps in your area, you have to choose carefully. You need to find out about methods used to train the puppies, how long it takes, and how much it costs. You also want to know exactly what puppies learn in the time they are away from home and in the care of trainers.

Puppies learn the basics at all these camps.They are trained to come when they are called, walk on a leash without tugging and lunging, sit, and get down. The pups are taught the manners they need to go home and behave like responsible members of the family. If you speak a language other than English, there are camps that teach puppies commands in German, Spanish, French, and Dutch, along with other languages.

One of the benefits of enrolling puppies in camps is the socialization they get at an early age. They are put in groups and allowed to play together with supervision. This teaches them how to act around other dogs and how to take direction from humans in this situation. Puppies who exhibit negative behaviors around humans and other dogs will be enrolled in specific drills in order to curb any negative tendencies.

How they should behave in public is one thing puppies learn. It's wonderful when puppies behave well at home. Like little kids though, at some point you will find yourself in public, which will test whether their manners will hold in unfamiliar surroundings.

To accomplish this, the staff takes the puppies on field trips. This give the pups a chance to interact with strangers and to adjust to crowds and unfamiliar smells and noises. The experiences increase the puppies' confidence in themselves.

Camps will provide plenty of physical activity for puppies. The facility you choose should have lots of daily exercise activities planned for their canine students. Many camps have trainers who put their young charges through cardio and strength training routines.

Puppies are even taught to walk on treadmills at some camps. This is always popular with owners who have personal exercise routines. They can both get good walks in, no matter what the weather, as long as a treadmill is handy.

Puppies have to be about twelve weeks old before camps will accept them. Camps continue to enroll puppies up to the age of about six months. This is not a place where trainers will work with animals to teach protective or guarding behaviors. Puppy camps are designed to teach obedience and etiquette.
