We only use the ‘momentary’ and ‘constant’ stimulation buttons on the e-Collar. There are many great uses for the ‘tone’ and the ‘vibrate’ modes, but these go beyond the degree of training our programs are designed to offer. If a dog is trained with only the ‘vibrate’ mode the untrained owner will have no other options if the […]
We are committed to helping each pet owner achieve the best possible relationship with his or her dog. We have over 30 year’s experience working with all types of dogs and their owners. Most people seek the assistance of a trainer when they realize their current approach is not working, and they do not know how to achieve the desired […]
While we would never absolutely forbid a visit while your dog is undergoing training, it is in the dog’s best interest if you can refrain. It is important for the dog to temporarily bond with us and look to us to meet his or her needs during the stay with us. If you come and go, the […]
We love this question because, as much as we adore working with dogs, we value working with their owners even more. This is where the magic truly happens! Each program offers varying levels of owner involvement, but every program includes daily interactions from us in the form of picture and video texts. These updates help […]
We absolutely love working with multiple dog households and often do so. We advise bringing all the dogs together for training, as it allows us to work towards our goal of training the dogs alongside each other. However, we acknowledge that multiple dog households can present challenges, as dogs are pack animals and influence each […]
Determining the perfect program for your dog can be a challenging decision, as our programs are not solely focused on training your dog. At K9 Kamp, we prioritize your ongoing success with your dog, and each program offers different options to provide more time and attention to coaching your family. While every dog can thrive […]
While we cannot guarantee that your dog will listen 100% reliably once his or her training is over, the dogs that complete our training programs consistently demonstrate remarkable improvements in their behavior. A well-trained dog should remain responsive if the owner remains consistent, and no health or confusing environmental issues arise to distract the animal. Should future […]
While we primarily use the e-Collar, there are a variety of other tools available when necessary, such as buckle collars, martingales, prong collars, and others. We also use food, toys and clickers for motivation and reward. Dog training, like most things, requires balance, and we reward dogs for good behaviors along with correcting unhealthy habits.
We have never had a dog become shyer, more nervous or more fearful after completing my training programs. In fact, the opposite is nearly always the case. Dogs who are shy become exuberant; dogs who are nervous gain confidence; and dogs who are fearful gain courage. The e-Collar allows dogs to learn how to relax, […]
The primary tool that we use is the e-Collar, as, in our experience, has proven to deliver the best results. The e-Collar, by avoiding any delay between the offense and the correction, prevents confusion and uncertainty in dogs about what is expected from them. It also avoids the emotional stress to persons or pets that […]
