Tampa Dog Bootcamp is a dog training business led by Luke, who specializes in transforming pets into lifelong companions through consistent, lifestyle-changing training techniques. They offer intensive board-and-train programs for adult dogs, puppies, and dogs with severe anxiety or aggression, all conducted at their facility. Clients receive lifelong trainer support as part of a family-oriented approach, with boarding available during training and beyond for ongoing reinforcement. Luke has seven years of experience rehabilitating dogs with extreme behavioral issues, including fear-based aggression and separation anxiety, often taking on cases others refuse. The business emphasizes hands-on, personalized training with no magic or quick fixes, focusing on long-term behavior change.

In addition to boarding and intensive programs, they offer private puppy sessions and group classes (currently TBD post-pandemic). Training is delivered at their facility, and owners are taught how to continue training at home. The business promotes a “Stay. Train. Play” philosophy, integrating play and socialization into the training process.

Luke uses trained dogs as intermediaries to communicate with and model behavior for client dogs, reinforcing lessons in ways human trainers cannot. They also provide refresher courses and ongoing support for the life of the dog, making them a long-term partner in pet behavior.

Additional services include pet boarding and dog training equipment included in program fees.
