Krueger Canine is a dog training business located in New Richmond, Ohio, offering a 3-week boarding and training camp at their 7.5-acre facility known as The Dog Oasis. The program is designed to build a strong obedience foundation using positive reinforcement, with training divided into three phases: Teaching (week 1), Command (week 2), and Proofing (week 3). Dogs are trained using food motivation, leash pressure techniques, and real-world distraction exposure to develop reliable behavior. The facility provides daily structured routines including training sessions, playtime, swimming, treadmill work, and agility, with dogs sleeping in private SkyMate kennels. Andy Krueger, the owner and head trainer, has over 11 years of experience and specializes in working with high-drive breeds like Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds, with a background in French Ring competition and professional decoying. Krueger Canine also offers dog sales, boarding for past campers, and post-camp lessons, but does not provide in-home training or group classes as primary services.

The business emphasizes long-term habit formation over quick fixes, believing that 3-4 weeks of immersive training creates lifelong behavioral changes. Clients receive weekly photo and video updates and one scheduled visit during week three to practice training with their dog. The facility does not allow unscheduled tours of kennel areas to maintain dog tranquility.

Krueger Canine does not offer grooming, walking, daycare, or pet sitting services beyond boarding and training. They specialize in behavior modification through structured immersion and do not provide virtual or video-based training as a standalone service.
