Why PITT K9? There are many reasons why PITT K9's bootcamp programs are special. We train in the real world and proof the training in environments similar to your neighbourhood.

How Does It Work?

This service is meant for those who would like to have their dog trained by a professional dog trainer during the day and still come home to them at night. During the day your dog will go through one of our obedience training programs. At the end of every week  there will be a one hour private training session with you and your dog so you can stay updated on your dogs training progress and learn how to handle your dog effectively once they are trained.

Additionally you will receive a training manual to take home with you to refer back to should you have any questions about up-keeping your dogs training. You will also receive lifetime phone and email support.

​

Your dog will be training 6 hours per day with us 4 days a week Monday - Thursday.

Common Questions

1. How many bootcamp dogs are enrolled at a time? Two per dog trainer. We limit enrolment to focus on high quality, individualized training. Industry standard in Ontario is 6-10 dogs per 1 dog trainer. Consequently, your dog will benefit from more time with your trainer.  

2. Where will my dog be when not actively training? Bootcampers enjoy multiple play sessions daily in the backyard to socialize with fellow campers. Additionally, your dog may lounge inside. 

3. Where will my dog rest? In a comfortable crate with cozy bedding. Meals and nap time are spent in crates, so your dog will have time to recharge. 

4. Is this a superior program? Yes. We're the highest rated and most reviewed dog training company in all of Northern Ontario on

5. Why these agenda items? PITT K9 specializes in family dog training. Curriculum is designed to encourage a grounded head space, and while the agenda has been improved over the years, we believe the current agenda provides the most return on investment. 

6. What is the minimum age? 6 months. If you seek training for puppies younger than 6 months, consider group classes or private training.

7. I am unable to attend the required follow up lessons, nor enforce polite behaviours after the program. Is this a wise investment? No. Without consistency your dog's training will not sustain. Dogs are not robots. Dogs are sentient beings that make decisions based on the positive and/or negative consequences of previous actions. It is important to understand that learning happens so long as your dog is alive. Your dog will be as consistent - or inconsistent - as your consistencies.

8. What vaccinations are required? The legal minimum is required: Rabies / Distemper / Parvo. As well as: Adenovirus / Parainfluenza / Bordetella (kennel cough). Lepto is also recommended. Flea & tick preventative to be applied just prior to the start of the program. Deworming just prior to start of program is required for dogs on a raw diet.
