Dog Training FAQs
Our Dog Training is Here to Help You Bring Home a Good Boy
Camp Bow Wow® is proud to make flexible, fun, and effective training a reality. We offer reward-based training programs that will satisfy all your pup’s needs! We realize you may have many questions regarding our dog training services, which is why we have provided answers to our most frequently asked questions for your convenience.
-
Camp Bow Wow Certified Trainers only use reward-based training methods. We believe dogs deserve to be rewarded when they do well, rather than making them work to avoid negative outcomes. To us, rewards can mean praise, food, treats, or even a toy your dog loves.
Our team uses clicker training in obedience classes to inform our four-legged students when they’re doing a behavior correctly. Clicker training allows dogs to learn quickly, and when they do, we slowly remove the clicker and treats. This is a fun, rewarding, and effective training method for both our dogs and their humans.

Dogs of any age can benefit from positive-reinforcement based dog training! Training provides mental stimulation to keep pups’ brains sharp, can help reduce behavioral issues, and boosts confidence by providing pups with a clear understanding of expectations. For pet parents, training builds a stronger bond with their dog and creates ways for pet parents and their pups to communicate with each other. Whether you have a puppy or a senior dog, training can lead to a happier and more fulfilling relationship between dog and owner.
