Heeling House’s Junior Dog Trainer Camp is a highly specialized program that accepts campers ages 9-14 years each week throughout the summer. In this unique camp, children work hands on with a professional dog trainer and spend the week training dogs in order to help them have a successful journey in life. 

​

Children accepted into this program will learn all the key fundamentals of positive reinforcement dog training, as well as basic dog health, care, and nutrition. Campers will work individually, and in small groups to train our service dog program puppies over the week long program. They will spend several hours a day working with and caring for their assigned dog, as well as classroom time to work on training techniques and commands. Children will also work on arts and crafts in dog related activities as commemorative items from their time at camp and as a way to give back to their community.

​

This program will provide service puppies the chance of a lifetime skills to help them with early socialization and to learn important basic skills that will be fundamental for their rigorous training.  Animals participating in our camp are rigorously tested for temperament and safety when working in a group setting by a professional dog handler prior to being selected.

​

A non-refundable $50 processing fee is included in each camp registration.
