CADET CAMP

---

Weekly day camps, held Mondays.

Quarters are ten (10) consecutive Mondays.

Playing and training, from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Pick up and drop off occur before and after the duration of Cadet Camp.

Our Bark Trek Camps are limited to eight dogs a day to give them each adequate time for individual training and enrichment sessions.

Your dog's tuition covers the entire quarter, or the entire year (three quarters).

We come to your home to pick up your Cadet in our van equipped with crash tested, rotomolded kennels (from Ruffland Kennels) so your that your dog can be safely individually crated on the way to and from your home, our yard, and field trip locations. 

  At Bark Trek we're dedicated to force-free, errorless training methods as well as a unique approach to  positive play facilitation. 

Over the quarter your dog will work on beginner and advanced obedience behaviors,  strengthen their off-leash recall, and translate these skills to public areas on their weekly field trips. 

Skills include but are not limited to:

Sit, down, stay (duration and distance)

Paws up, off, place, door/gate manners

Loose leash walking, heel, recall

"Doing nothing" / frustration skills

Field trip locations vary.

Leash reactive dogs are welcome.

Not only will your dog get to practice their obedience skills off the leash and on, they'll also learn invaluable skills through playing with their friends at the Playcare Yard, our private fenced in acre of forest for "faux hiking," zoomies, and decompression.

These playtimes not only serve as a great outlet for physical activity, but serve as a training opportunity for your dog to gain better canine communication and let off some steam before we use their brains.

Your dog's graduation day of Cadet Camp includes a group Bark Trek, or an off-leash hike equipped with GPS collars at a real hiking location!

  Cadets each get a take-home folder at the start of their program, equipped with helpful information about the program, valuable information about effective training, and progress trackers.

 Throughout the program, report cards and training concept handouts will be sent home each week your Cadet goes to Camp.   

Your Cadet Camp's take-home folder won't only illustrate what we worked on that day at Camp, but also provides details on how to replicate the training at home. 

Each quarter tuition also includes a 45-min one-on-one private training session in your home to be booked towards the end or following your dog's quarter.
