Board & Train Camp

The 12-Day Board & Train Camp

The Bull Run K9 Dog Training Camp is a comprehensive 12-day board and train program for dogs 18 weeks and older.

The Program

Real Training for Real Life

We focus on overall obedience, behavior work, and advanced commands, helping your dog build everyday skills for life at home and out in the world, both on and off leash.

Your dog comes home on day 12 with a go-home lesson, followed by a second lesson a week later and two future Anytime lessons. Those lessons are owner coaching, so you learn to handle your dog and keep the training going at home.

Our training works on your dog's behavior, and on the bond between you and your best friend.

The Timeline

How Camp Works

From pickup to go-home and beyond, here is how the 12 days unfold.

Day 1: We Pick Up

We come to you. Your dog is picked up from home on day 1 and settles in to start camp.

Days 1 to 12: Training at Camp

Twelve days of immersive training in real-world obedience, on and off leash, with nightly photo and progress updates while your dog is with us.

Day 12: Go-Home Lesson

We bring your dog home on day 12 and walk you through what they have learned, so you know how to keep the training going at home.

One Week Later: Second Lesson

About a week after go-home, we meet again for a second lesson to check in, answer questions, and fine-tune anything that needs attention.

Anytime Lessons, When You Need Them

Two Anytime lessons remain included, yours to use down the road whenever you would like a refresher or help with something new.
