  We put our Sadie in the 3 week program, I am amazed by the difference in her behavior! We got her back on Friday, today all my kids and grandkids were here. Sadie was on her best behavior and listened to all commands by everyone! I told them exactly what to do, and Sadie did exactly what she was taught! I would HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone having issues with your dog! Worth every penny!!

  Truly cannot say enough great things about Dog Training Camp. Cory and the staff are amazing. My cane corso mix came home a new dog. We were skeptical because he’s set in his ways and 7 years old but thought it was worth a shot. I was absolutely shocked at the 180 my pup did! Can’t recommend them enough.

  My dog learned so much. Scout completed the 4-week program. She arrived anxious and poorly behaved but has come home a completely new dog. The instructors were clear upfront regarding their instruction plan, communication, and follow up expectations. Highly recommend!

  We cannot say enough great things about Cory and Melaney and our experience with Dog Training Camp USA! We have a one-year old mastiff that had issues with his confidence, anxiety, and uncontrollable behavioral issues at home. After three weeks in training, Kane has gained confidence and so many skills, but we have learned so much to make sure he is successful too. The team has also worked around our schedule to ensure Kane has a chance for group classes and he absolutely loves coming back to visit. The communication during and after training has been unmatched and we appreciate them so much!! Kane can’t wait to come back for boarding!

  The positive reviews on Google is the reason my husband and I chose this place to train his new service dog. I wish I could say I had the same experience as others. We purchased both the boarded puppy camp & the specialized boarded service dog training for a total of just under $8k. Before starting puppy camp, we explained behaviors our puppy was having trouble with at home. They assured us they would be able to help with everything. After going through the 2 week boarded puppy camp, none of the behavioral issues showed any improvement. Our puppy also did not display competency with the basic obedience commands he was supposed to learn. I figured he’s still a puppy & the additional service dog training will get him all worked out. Unfortunately the service dog training was a complete waste. After all that training, our dog would only perform basic obedience tasks with a correction leash over his nose. If the leash was not on, all bets were off. As for the service tasks, they’re non-existent. This facility prides themselves on not using treats to train. However, when they demonstrated the service task he “learned” on pick up day, they brought out peanut butter. I was very confused. While holding the peanut butter in the air, they got our dog to jump up & put his paws on them. His service task IS to jump up & put his paws on my husband when he’s having a mental health episode. The problem is, my husband won’t have peanut butter on hand when his dog needs to alert. Our dog only learned to jump on people carrying food. Nothing more. After I took some time to think about the situation, I sent an email explaining our disappointments, & that we have to put our dog through another program. (We did find a great trainer that was able to train our dog correctly-but it cost another $6,000.00). They responded to my email without taking responsibility for anything and refused to issue a refund. We would have been happy with even a partial refund, because they did board our puppy for weeks, even though he didn’t get the training he was supposed to. How they explained their training methods, the training we were supposed to receive, & our responsibilities as the owners in their response email, was completely different than what we were told in person. In a nutshell were told we would be getting a dog that was finished in basic obedience & his service task training. They ended up saying we misunderstood, & that their program is a ‘hybrid’ model where they start the training, but we complete it ourselves at home. No where on their website are the services we purchased described that way, nor does it say anything about a hybrid model in the contract we signed. We were very clear we were looking for a program that would finish basic obedience & service task training. They confidently told us they would do that, & at home we would only need to reinforce what the dog had already learned. I don’t think anyone would pay $8,000.00 to have a dog started only, & need to be self trained to finish. Especially not a service dog. After this, we did training classes at Petco to keep the puppy learning & socialized until his start date with the new trainer. Petco initially let us join their intermediate class, thinking our puppy would be ok since he’d been through so much boarded training with Dog Training Camp USA. We were demoted to level 1 basic puppy training on our first day of class. That’s tells you everything you need to know. We actually had an employee put their dog through a boarded training program with these guys at the same time. Neither of us knew the other had our dogs at this place until we saw the dogs together on their social media page. He was just as disappointed with his results & was sick he spent $5k. He feels his dog’s behavior is actually worse after coming home.
