VON ASGARD's 'K-9 BOOT CAMP' - A RESIDENT PET DOG TRAINING PROGRAM
Von Asgard K-9 Center - Home of the acclaimed 'K-9 BOOT CAMP' Pet 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.
This is the entrance gate to our football field sized training field complete with stadium lighting.
However, it is our 'K-9 BOOT CAMP' program that has been the foundation of our success as the premier pet dog training facility on Florida's gulf coast. 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.
Our training 'conference room' consists of picnic tables fully shaded by the many oak trees surrounding our training facility.
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 'DUDE RANCH' boarding to the left), such as, 'Super-Sized' kennels, three play sessions each day, 'Super-Premium' food & etc. Each day five short 15 minute training sessions are scheduled. They are interspursed around the three play sessions 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'. 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 nicely on a leash, without pulling and to change direction automatically when you do.
3.) To calmly give focused attention.
4.) To accomplish a very snappy 'sit'.
5.) To do a consistant and quick 'down'.
6.) To settle into a real solid 'stay' in the down position.
7.) To come sharply and quickly when you call him.
Note: To these basis seven excercises, you can add several 'custom' things to be trained during 'BOOT CAMP' without any additional cost. '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 training session. In the first 45 minutes, we discuss the psychology of each excercise, the underpinnings and exactly how your dog accomplished each excercise. We teach you how to handle the dog in each excercise and physically work with you to master the handling techniques. We then bring out your dog and . . . with us doing the handling, show you just how well he readily and snappily he responds.
Our football-sized training field complete with stadium lights for training in the cool of the evening.
Only then do 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 excercises.
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 his 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.
