Good Dog Leash Camp
Train All Week. Enjoy the Walks for Life.
If walks with your dog feel more stressful than enjoyable, you’re not alone. Pulling on the leash, ignoring cues, or struggling to pass people and other dogs can turn a simple walk into a daily frustration with your pup.
Good Dog Leash Camp is a focused, seven-night training stay designed to improve loose leash walking and polite leash behavior. During camp, your dog works daily with professional trainers to develop calmer, more controlled walking habits — so you can enjoy stress-free walks again.
When camp is over, the training doesn’t stop. With three private lessons included after Good Dog Leash Camp, pet parents learn exactly how to maintain those strong leash manners at home and in real-world settings.

What Is Good Dog Leash Camp?
Good Dog Leash Camp is a one-week, leash-focused training program that combines the structure of a board-and-train-style stay with a specific goal: better walks.
Rather than trying to address every possible behavior issue, this program focuses on:
Your dog stays with our training team for seven nights and participates in structured daily leash training sessions in a controlled environment on our grounds. This immersive approach allows trainers to work consistently on leash habits that can be difficult to fix with occasional lessons alone.
Who Is Good Dog Leash Camp Designed For?
Good Dog Leash Camp is ideal for dogs who are generally friendly and manageable but struggle specifically with leash behavior.
This program is a great fit for:
Board & Train programs are often recommended when owners feel overwhelmed, unsure how to progress, or unable to create the consistency their dog needs.
Who Good Dog Leash Camp Is NOT For
Good Dog Leash Camp is intentionally focused and may not be appropriate for every dog.
This program is not recommended for:
During your consultation, our team will help determine whether Good Dog Leash Camp is the right option or if another training program would better support your dog’s needs.
What Your Dog Learns During Leash Camp
Throughout the seven-night stay, training focuses on building reliable leash skills and calm behavior in real-world walking scenarios.

Training emphasizes consistency, repetition, and appropriate exposure so dogs learn how to apply their skills beyond the training line environment.
What Happens During the Seven-Night Stay
Each dog begins Good Dog Leash Camp with an evaluation to assess leash behavior, training history, and individual needs. From there, training is customized to address your dog’s specific leash challenges.
During the week, dogs participate in:
Pet parents receive updates during the camp so they can follow their dog’s progress and understand what skills are being developed.

Training is most successful when dogs and owners are on the same page. That’s why three private lessons are included after Good Dog Leash Camp.
These lessons focus on:

Good Dog Leash Camp vs. Other Training Options
Leash Camp vs. Private Lessons
Private lessons are effective for many dogs, but progress can be slower when leash issues are deeply ingrained. Good Dog Leash Camp allows for daily, consistent training that can accelerate improvement before transitioning skills back to the owner through private lessons.
Because leash habits are built through repetition, timing, and consistency, daily immersion helps dogs learn more efficiently. Leash Camp provides structured practice in real-world walking environments, reinforcing calm behavior and proper leash manners before owners step in. This approach often makes follow-up private lessons more productive, allowing sessions to focus on refinement and long-term maintenance rather than starting from scratch.
Leash Camp vs. Board & Train Programs
Full Board & Train programs address a wide range of behavior challenges and typically last multiple weeks. Good Dog Leash Camp is a shorter, leash-specific option for dogs who do not require comprehensive behavior modification.
Leash Camp is ideal for dogs whose primary struggle is walking behavior rather than broader obedience or behavioral concerns. By focusing exclusively on leash skills, training time is used efficiently without the commitment, cost, or intensity of a full Board & Train program. This targeted approach delivers meaningful results in a shorter timeframe while still creating a solid foundation for enjoyable, stress-free walks.
