Behavior Buddies Lawrenceville Dog Training Options:

Group Classes

We offer a variety of group classes. Please see our schedule below for upcoming classes. Group classes are a great experience for all dogs and owners, as our trainer will teach you how to train your dog effectively using proper reinforcement techniques. Class is a great way for your dog to learn new behaviors and practice them around distractions. Our classes are limited to 5 dogs, so there is plenty of time for questions and one-on-one help if needed. We encourage everyone involved in your dog’s training to join us during class.

Private Training

Private Training is specifically designed for one-on-one training with your family and our trainer. Training can be held in your own home, at Camp Bow Wow, or wherever your dog is experiencing problems. Private Training may be subject to a consultation in which our trainer will evaluate your needs and create a training plan. This option can be utilized to brush up on your pup’s basic obedience, develop household manners, implement a training plan for your new dog or puppy, or solve behavior problems (including aggression and/or fear), and more. This program is perfect for any dog or family seeking individual attention.

Play & Train

Does your dog already come to Camp to play? If so, you may want to take advantage of our Play & Train services! During Play & Train, not only will your dog participate in their regular playtime with his/her pals, but will also receive one-on-one training sessions during the day. Play & Train is specifically designed to work on basic obedience skills, such as sit, down, come, stay, drop it, leave it, place, etc.
Play & Train includes three 10-minute sessions throughout the day. Short, multiple training sessions help keep your dog focused and will avoid boredom or frustration. Play & Train sessions may be subject to a Pick-up Meeting (approximately 15 minutes long) with our trainer to discuss your dog’s progress, as well as suggestions on what to work on at home.

Board & Train

Does your dog already come to Camp to stay? If so, you may want to take advantage of our Board & Train services! During Board & Train, not only will your dog receive their regular playtimes, meals, and naps, but they will also receive one-on-one training sessions during the day. Board & Train is specifically designed to work on basic obedience skills, such as sit, down, come, stay, drop it, leave it, place, etc. Why not brush up your dog’s skills while you’re away?
It is up to your discretion as to how many days you’d like your dog to train with us. Board & Train includes three 10-minute sessions per day. Short, multiple training sessions help keep your dog focused and will avoid boredom or frustration.
