Dog training mistakes to avoid

Our Dog Training Programs include weekly progress updates and detailed report cards to keep you informed every step of the way. After your dog is trained, we provide expert parent training to ensure consistent results at home and set your dog up for lasting success.

 

Puppy Camp is a 2–3 week board and train program designed to give your puppy a strong foundation in obedience, manners, and socialization. We focus on essential skills like crate training, potty training (if needed), leadership, and adapting to new environments. Our trainers also address common puppy behaviors such as jumping, mouthing, impulse control, and handling distractions. The program includes 3 follow-up lessons to support continued success at home.

 

Advanced Camp is a comprehensive 4–5 week board and train program designed to build strong on- and off-leash obedience. This program covers obedience, manners, leadership, socialization, crate training, continued potty training, and adapting to new environments. It includes everything from our Puppy Camp but places a greater emphasis on working through distractions and maintaining focus in real-world scenarios. To ensure long-term success, owners must continue training at home. Please note: dogs must not exhibit anxiety, fear-based behaviors, or aggression toward humans or other dogs. The program includes 3 follow-up lessons to support continued progress.

 

Behavior Camp is a 4–5 week board and train program designed for dogs with more complex behavioral challenges. In addition to obedience, manners, socialization, leadership, crate training, and adapting to new environments, we focus on addressing issues such as dog aggression, reactivity, and anxiety. Your dog will learn reliable on-leash obedience and off-leash skills in controlled, enclosed environments—perfect for recall in the home or yard. This program includes 4 follow-up lessons to ensure lasting progress and continued support at home.

 

Private Lessons consist of one-hour sessions held once a week for 5 weeks, offering personalized, one-on-one training with an experienced trainer. During these sessions, clients will learn effective techniques to train their dog, with the added benefit of working with dogs at our facility and our staff to help manage distractions. To ensure success, owners must continue practicing obedience with their dog at home.

 

Day Camp is a 2-week daily drop-off program where dogs receive structured training throughout the day and return home each evening. This program is designed for dogs that are highly food-motivated and have a happy-go-lucky temperament. Not all dogs will qualify for Day Camp. Parents will receive a weekly lesson on Fridays to ensure consistent progress and continued training at home.

Our Reviews

My dogs are wonderful, but they were not easy to walk or to go anywhere with. They pulled me down the sidewalk, barked at other people and dogs, were all over the place, especially when we went into stores, and jumped on people when they met them. They had no manners. It was embarrassing and dangerous. The youngest dog would shoot out the front door and run after cats or squirrels, even crossing busy roads. He wouldn't come when called. It was all too much. I had heard good things about Unleash Fido from a neighbor who had done bootcamp and another that had done individual training. I made an appointment to see the facility and, after meeting with M@cayla, I decided to send them to boot camp. It was very hard to be apart from them but the difference in their behavior is amazing. I am able to walk with them and go places without them losing their minds. What a pleasure! It really makes me proud and happy to see them flourish. I have gone for several follow-up sessions to help me to be able to reinforce what they have learned. This is been very helpful! Plus the dogs are super excited to be back at the facility and to see M@cayla. She is a very experienced trainer, and her own dogs are nothing short of amazing. The owner, Travis P, has assembled a fantastic team. They really care about all the dogs they are training. That is so important. I highly recommend Unleash Fido. You will be very happy with the results!

I absolutely love this place! The experience was life-changing. I have a Belgian Tervuren who had a dangerous hobby of lunging at and chasing cars! Honestly, he chased anything that moved. He was impossible to walk. We were both miserable. After the 5 week training my boy was able to walk with no issues at all! His trainer Kendra was knowledgeable and patient. She send photos and weekly updates. I can't thank Unleash Fido enough. They literally saved my sweet Theo.

The crew here knows what they're doing. I dropped my Belgium Malinois pup off at 13 weeks due to having to travel for a few months with work. She did the puppy boot camp and boarding. I'm amazed at how well she's doing… it's incredible. Travis, Macayla, and the crew are top-notch. I look forward to the continued relationship with you guys.

Our experience with Unleash Fido could not have been better. We were struggling with our dog’s behavior and had no idea what to do next. After multiple consultations throughout the city we realized Unleash Fido provided an atmosphere that we didn’t see anywhere else. We knew our dog would be cared for and treated well while going through this life changing experience. Sebastian was our dogs trainer and we couldn’t have asked for a better match. He is thorough and knowledgeable and loved our boy like his own. He goes above and beyond what we expected of any training program. We cannot speak highly enough of Sebastian, Unleash Fido, the experience and the results! Thanks for giving our boy a fresh start!

Unleash Fido is the best money I have ever spent. I have a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd who loves to work and is overall extremely reactive to anything and everything. Walks were impossible and anxiety-provoking. He would lunge and bark at any car/bird/neighbor/dog and almost pull me over. We had tried trainers before and positive reinforcement but nothing seemed to work. McKayla ended up being my dog’s trainer for bootcamp, where he stayed for 5 weeks. I cannot say enough great things about her! She is extremely knowledgeable with working dog breeds. She knew my dog would be a challenge but took it head on. My dog is very attentive to me now and actually listens! Walks are enjoyable and I feel like I have taken some control back. McKayla is friendly and flexible with her schedule. She truly cares about the dogs she trains and wants to make sure the owners feel confident and knowledgeable. I would recommend McKayla and Unleash Fido to anyone and everyone!

We signed our 7 month old (wild) puppy for the puppy class and advanced off leash obedience. I called unleash fido because he was impossible to take on a walk, he would not walk, play tug of war with the leash and if he ever got away from me I would have to chase him to recover him. This is not my first dog, actually my 7th dog in all my life but he is by far the most stubborn and active dog I’ve ever experienced. In the house he would knock over furniture and run into glass doors, jump up on the counter and nothing I tried was working. I was having major puppy adoption regret. We love him like a child though so I brought my dog in for his evaluation at Unleash Fido and he was all over the room knocking things down and jumping on furniture but they said “we can handle this”. Well 4 weeks later I have a different dog! He listens to me, he performs commands sometimes before I even say them and I LOVE taking him on walks. We have had 2 family training sessions after his month long stay and our now 9 month old pup is now even listening to our seven year old! Unleash Fido was a game changer for us and I no longer feel anxious being around my own dog or out on walks. Macayla was our trainer and she checked in with us weekly, we were provided report cards with pics and videos of his progress, she recently even helped me readjust his collar when I popped into their office on a Sunday morning. Worth the investment and our dog seems happier now, he is proud of himself when we say “good boy” that tails wags and he seems so content! Thank you Unleash Fido and Macayla for all you have done for our boy!
