Dog training in Newark not only improves your pet's behavior but also enriches their daily life.

This results in a happier, more confident pet that thrives in various settings, from busy streets to local parks in Newark. Our trainers focus on making each session not only educational but also enjoyable for both you and your dog, ensuring that training becomes a part of your regular bonding time.

Newark, being a bustling urban environment, presents unique challenges such as crowded sidewalks and numerous distractions.

Group Classes

Camp Bow Wow’s group classes include a variety of programs for all skill levels. Our obedience program is split into multiple levels, so pups start with the basics and increase the difficulty through each level as you and your dog progress. Other group classes include tricks, leash-walking skills, CGC prep, and more!

The three levels of our obedience classes are:

Level I—Basic: Builds the foundation of reliable commands like sit, down, leave it, come when called, and leash walking.
Level II—Intermediate: Learn how to get your dog to heel by your side, go to their mat, and add distance plus distractions to all their behaviors.
Level III—Public Polishing/CGC Prep: This level teaches your dog to sit when you greet a stranger, heel in a crowd, and more. They will now be prepared for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) exam.

In-Camp & Private Training

Camp Bow Wow Delaware North offers several options for pet parents who prefer their pup receives private training. Our Certified Trainers can work with your dog while they attend Camp, spending one-on-one time with them teaching behaviors you would like to work on. We can also provide training services for you and your dog in a private setting, based on your needs.

Private training sessions with our dog trainers in Newark provide the personalized attention your dog needs to thrive. Our trainers customize each session to focus on areas specific to your dog's behavior and progress. By honing in on these skills during individual sessions, dogs benefit from targeted feedback and accelerated learning. Whether your dog needs help with specific behaviors, or you're looking to advance their training, these sessions offer valuable insights and skills. Our in-Camp training offers the convenience of integrating learning with their daily activities, making it easier for you to maintain momentum at home.

Additionally, our Newark location provides a unique setting for private training, taking advantage of local parks and quieter urban areas to practice skills in a controlled yet varied environment. This approach helps dogs adjust to different settings they might encounter, enhancing their ability to transfer learned behaviors from camp or home into public spaces, contributing to greater socialization and adaptability.
