Is A Puppy Training Camp Boulder CO Professionals Run The Best Choice For Your New Pet

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.

Dogs aren't puppies very long. It is important to get them trained early. If you've opted to send the pup to a camp, you should know something about the facility before you drop him off. You certainly need to know the cost involved, what methods are used to train puppies, and how long the training period is. You should also find out exactly what your pup will be learning while he is away.

All camps teach puppies the basics. They learn commands like coming when called, stopping and waiting, sitting, getting down, and walking on a leash without pulling at it. Your pup will learn all the doggy etiquette necessary to make him a valued member of your family and a pleasure to be around. If English is not your first language there are camps that can accommodate you by teaching commands in French, Spanish, German, Dutch, and perhaps other languages.

One the primary advantages of enrolling young dogs in camps is the socialization they receive. All the puppies are grouped together during play periods. These play periods are always supervised. Playing together teaches puppies how to interact with animals unfamiliar to them.

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.

In camps puppies go on field trips with trainers. This gives them experience interacting with strangers, unfamiliar noises, smells, and crowds. These trips also increase the level of confidence puppies feel.

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.

Some camps teach pups to use treadmills. This is a great idea for owners who like to work out in their own homes. They don't have to worry about walking their dogs in the rain or snow as long as a treadmill is available.

Puppies usually have to be about three months old before camps will take them. They will qualify for the puppy camps until they reach about 6 months of age. It is not the function of these camps to teach puppies to protect or guard their owners. The purpose of these types of facilities is to train young dogs to be obedient and well mannered.
