VON ASGARD's "K-9 BOOT CAMP" - A RESIDENT PET DOG TRAINING PROGRAM:
Von Asgard K-9 Center offers a wide variety of specialized training programs, such as, AKC competition obedience, tracking and Canine Good Citizen Certificate training, Schutzhund competition (tracking, obedience & protection) training, Personal Protection training, Police K-9 training, as well as, behaviour modification problem solving.
However, it is our "K-9 BOOT CAMP" program that has been the foundation of our success as Florida's premier pet dog training facility. Our pet dog "K-9 BOOT CAMP" is a training program like no other. It has been singled out for excellence and written-up in several dog publications. This unique obedience program is resident training program that teaches both the pet dog, as well as, his owner.
The dog is boarded at Von Asgard K-9 Center for a minimum of seven full days and is trained during his stay. While at "K-9 BOOT CAMP", your dog receives all the "DUDE RANCH" boarding features (click on "K-9 DUDE RANCH" boarding to the left), such as, "Super-Sized' kennels, two on leash hikes each day, a "free-running" play session & etc. Each day, five short 15 minute training sessions are scheduled. They are interspursed around the two on leash hikes and the play period so that the dog is out of his kennel each hour, eight times-a-day. It truely is like sending a child off to a high-activity summer camp or to Marine Boot Camp.
By training five times a day for short periods of time, in the course of a seven day week we will have 35 training sessions with your dog while utilizing only his prime attention span. Successful training can quickly be accomplished with such a intensive, focused schedule. We train using "Motivation", "Consistancy' and "Repetition" combined with our variation of Operant Conditioning through the professional application of "Marker Training". Most trainers "teach" your dog to do something . . . We develop the "habit" of him doing things correctly.
Your dog will master seven major exercises:
1.) To not jump up on people or things.
2.) To walk nice and "easy" on a leash, without any pulling and to automatically change direction when you do.
3.) To calmly give focused attention.
4.) To accomplish a very snappy "sit" with an automatic focused attention.
5.) To do a consistant and quick "down".
6.) To settle into a real solid, automatic stay with the "down" command.
7.) To do a solid stay until the "release" command is given.
8.) To come sharply, quickly with an automatic sit right in front of you when you call, "here".
>>> Note: To these basis seven exercises, you can add several "custom" things to be worked on during "K-9 BOOT CAMP" without any additional cost. These "Custom" items might include: Crate Training, Minor Problem Solving or, for example, (Von Asgard's exclusive) "Invisible Leash" Training. "Invisible Leash" training, however, will require several additional boarding days & an equipment purchase from Von Asgard.
When your dog has graduated from "K-9 BOOT CAMP", we have you (and the others in your household) come in for a two hour "graduation session". In the first 45 minutes, is a classroom session for you. In it, we discuss the training psychology for each excercise, the underpinnings and exactly how your dog accomplished learning each excercise. We then teach you how to handle the dog in each excercise and physically work with you to master the handling techniques. Only then, do we bring out your dog and . . . with us doing the handling, show you just how well he readily and snappily he responds to each command.
After you have seen your dog doing everything, we put you together with your dog and work with you and your dog until the two of you are functioning as a team and correctly doing all the exercises.
We then teach you a three minute routine that you must do with your dog when you get home. This three minute routine, done four times a day for a short period at your home, will transfer the habit of him working correctly for us at our location . . . to him responding correctly for you . . . at your location.
Whatever basic equipment we utilized in his training, we send home with you without additional cost, so you can work with him exactly as you learned.
