Bodemer’s Canine Training

Bodemer’s Canine Training offers two main programs: Canine Coach and Boot Camp. The Canine Coach is the most popular program, providing individual, one-hour sessions for basic to advanced commands and behavior modification. These sessions are conducted in the client’s home, neighborhood, or a park, allowing all family members to participate.

The Boot Camp program offers accelerated training with consistent daily lessons. Pups are picked up and dropped off daily, and clients receive a short lesson with notes at the end of each day, followed by a full hour session at the end of the training week. This program trains one pup at a time and is suitable for pups under 9 months who are crate-trained and not shy or fearful.

For specific concerns, the Mini-Boot Camp offers a single day of training for one or two issues, including a one-on-one lesson at the end of the day. Both Boot Camp options provide time for pups to rest and play throughout the day.

Pricing Summary

Canine Coach sessions are $50 per one-hour session. Boot Camp is $500 for a Monday through Friday week. Mini-Boot Camp is $100 for a single day of training.
