Fostering Good Behavior Throughout The Entire Stay

Fostering Good Behavior Throughout The Entire Stay

Effective training creates a safer, happier, and more confident dog. Our experienced trainers work with each dog to build skills such as obedience, leash manners, socialization, jumping control, hunting, and everyday behavior.

We focus on consistency, patience, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. When training is complete, we send you home with the tools and techniques you need to continue reinforcing good behaviors.

Better habits. Stronger skills. Happier dogs.

Dual Training Approach

At Ivy League, we combine structured training sessions with consistent, everyday reinforcement throughout your dog’s stay.

Our experienced staff creates training “touch points” throughout the day, reinforcing the skills and behaviors taught during formal sessions. This helps build consistency and teaches your dog that good behavior is expected with everyone, everywhere.

Our goal is simple: to develop a dog that is Stable, Confident, and Predictable—wherever life takes them.

    One Week Boot Camp

    Age: 4 Months- 6 Months

    Duration: 8 Days/ 7 Nights

    -Our one-week Boot Camp introduces puppies to structured training and builds a strong foundation for obedience. Training focuses on touch, leave it, off, controlled leash walking, come, sit, stay, down, and place.

    For dogs 4 months and older, we may introduce e-collar training when appropriate. E-collars can be an effective tool for reinforcing recall, addressing unwanted behaviors such as jumping or counter surfing, and building reliable obedience for everyday life and hunting.

    A strong start today builds better habits for life.

    Two Week Boot Camp

    Age: 6 Months & Up

    Duration: 15 Days/ 14 Nights

    -Our two-week Boot Camp provides a structured training program focused on building a strong foundation in obedience. Dogs work on sit, stay, down, come, recall, and platform training using a variety of training tools and techniques.

    As training progresses, we introduce e-collar work to reinforce obedience and address unwanted behaviors or bad habits.

    The goal is to build a steady, reliable, and confident dog both in the field and on everyday walks.

    Four Week Boot Camp

    Age: 6 Months & Up

    Duration: 29 Days/ 28 Nights

    -Our four-week Boot Camp builds a strong foundation in obedience while progressing toward advanced skills. Dogs work on the five basic commands, along with skills such as touch, leave it, watch, place, wait, and off. Depending on the dog, training may also include extended stays and off-leash work.

    We introduce dogs to a variety of people, environments, and real-life situations to build calm, confident, and reliable behavior. Corrective training may also be used to address unwanted behaviors.

    Our goal is to create a dog that is controlled, confident, and predictable—at home, in the field, at the lake, or wherever life takes you.

    The program also helps prepare dogs for the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test, a 10-skill evaluation focused on good manners and responsible ownership.

  • Training Tune Up

    Duration: 7-10 Days

    Our Training Tune-Up is designed for dogs who have completed our one-, two-, or four-week training programs and need a refresher or continued development.

    We reinforce existing skills, strengthen obedience, and build on your dog’s current training. Additional training, including Canine Good Citizen preparation, testing, action dog training, and more, can be added upon request.

    Refresh. Reinforce. Keep progressing.

  • Remote Dog Training Clinic

    Age: 4 Months +

    Duration: 4 Days/ 3 Night

    Our Remote Dog Training Clinic introduces dogs to e-collar communication for reliable off-leash work both in the field and at home.

    Dogs learn how to respond to e-collar cues for recall, direction, and obedience, while addressing unwanted behaviors such as excessive barking, jumping, digging, and counter surfing.

    The goal is to build safe, reliable communication and greater freedom for you and your dog.
