SKILLS YOUR PUPPY BUILDS

What Your Puppy Learns In Three Lessons.

Each base camp session builds on the last, covering the core skills every well-behaved dog needs, taught through hands-on coaching you deliver yourself.

You’ll start with marker training and engagement, then move into sit, down, place, and recall, along with proper leash handling and jumping prevention. Along the way, we cover crate training, potty training, and early puppy socialization, with real-time problem-solving in every lesson so nothing gets left unanswered.
  • Marker Training & Engagement
  • Crate & Potty Training

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Base Camp is delivered through two weeks puppy stay & train coaching sessions with a certified Skyline K9 trainer. You do the hands-on training with your dog while we guide you in real time, then you get a personalized plan and homework to practice between lessons.

Yes, especially if your puppy is under five months old. This is the best window to build good habits before problem behaviors have a chance to form, and it gives new owners a strong, guided starting point.

All you need is a leash and some treats. We’ll walk you through everything else, including any specific tools, during your first session.

That’s exactly what daily one-on-one sessions are for. If your puppy is stuck on a command or behavior, our Skyline K9 Certified Trainer works through it with them, adjusting the approach until it clicks. You don’t have to figure it out alone, and we keep you updated throughout the stay.

Base Camp is different from other programs because our Skyline K9 Certified Trainer trains your puppy directly. Your puppy stays with us for two weeks and works one-on-one with a trainer every day, building focus, obedience, and confidence. You don’t have to do the training yourself. You get a puppy that’s ready to go, and we show you how to keep it up at home.

After two weeks, your puppy heads home with a foundation in focus, obedience, and confidence, built through daily one-on-one sessions with our Skyline K9 Certified Trainer. If you want to keep building on that progress, Summit Stay & Train is a three-week program that builds a stronger obedience foundation and real-world reliability.
