Doggie Do Good, Inc.

Thank you for your interest in dog training through Doggie Do Good. Attached are the documents required for Doggie Camp enrollment, including a "What to expect" informational document that thoroughly outlines what to expect during the camp program. 

The Doggie Camp is a customized course where your dog stays at our facility and we do all of the groundwork training for you. We teach basic obedience: SIT, COME, STAY, DOWN and HEEL. And then we focus on any specialty behaviors you might be having issues with, whether it's separation anxiety, barking, nipping, jumping, boundary training, or a combination of several things. You get to customize a wishlist of exactly what you'd like us to address. 

Each dog gets 6-8 hours of training per day. We focus on distraction training, which helps the dogs understand that regardless of their environment they still must listen. For example, we put the dogs in "down/stay", where they have to lay down and stay down. Then we have a couple other dogs run around them. We throw toys around and run with the "distraction dogs" to ensure the dogs in the “down/stay” learn they have to stay until given their release word - no matter what's going on around them! After all, it’s when your dog is most distracted that you really need the training to work. At the end of the Camp we have you come out and we do a 4-6 hour-long return where we show you all your dog has learned and then we teach you how to train and maintain what he/she has learned. Lastly, we have you work your dog yourself while a trainer is watching. That way, we can re-establish you as the Alpha, make sure your technique matches what he/she already recognizes, and make sure you are comfortable with correcting and praising. 

Included with camp is our training guarantee, which means you have access to free unlimited one-hour private lessons for the rest of your dog's life.  You also have unlimited access to our trainers over the phone and through email. However, the majority of our clients never need to utilize their guarantee if they follow our instructions. Most dogs complete 21 days of Doggie Camp, however those with many or difficult behaviors may need more time.

Absolutely! We email you a weekly grade report for the first two weeks of camp, and then schedule a phone call with you to give you your final update and schedule the graduation/transfer process. Please note, we may recommend more time during this update if we feel it would be beneficial for your dog (See "What to Expect" PDF)PricingOur Doggie Camp is approximately $140/day. That would be $2940 for the 21 day stay and a lifetime training guarantee! Any applicable potty (@$25-50/day) and/or aggression (@$25/day) training fees are NOT included in that rate and would be billed at additional cost. While the camp program is continuous, we typically schedule intakes for Mondays and Saturdays. If this does not work with your schedule, we will accommodate for any day that works best for you.* You will receive a 20% discount off of the base rate of Doggie Camp. That would be $112/day, $2352 for the 21 day stay and a lifetime training guarantee, a $588+ savings!ESTIMATE = $2352($1176 due at drop off, remaining balance collected at time of pick up)  We accept payment in forms of cash, check, venmo (@doggiedogood) and credit card. An additional 2% processing fee applies for all card transactions.  

The Doggie Camp intake process typically lasts between 20-40 minutes. During this process, you would meet with a senior staff member to customize your doggie's behaviors. If possible, we ask that you please scan and email, or fax, your completed paperwork over ahead of time for a streamlined intake. It is not a problem if you are unable to send the paperwork in advance, we will accommodate. 

The Doggie Camp transfer process typically lasts 4-6 hours on the last day of camp. This is where we work with you to ensure that you have all of the information and tools necessary to maintain and improve upon the foundation of behaviors that your doggie will have learned.  Dog training is a lifelong endeavor!Our training facility is located at 335 Summit Station Road in Arroyo Grande, CA 93420.

Doggie Camp is continuous, meaning a dog can jump in anytime, we just need a few day's notice. If you'd like to reserve a date to start, just email or give us a call to set a date that is convenient for you. 

Along with the attached documents completed, we ask that the owner(s) provide enough food for the stay (an extra week's worth just in case, labeled with feeding instructions), proof of current and completed Rabies, Distemper/Parvo and Bordetella vaccinations, any flea control/medications with directions to be administered and at least half down in payment upon drop off. We can administer a one-time application of flea control for $25 if needed.  Each dog must wait at least 10 days after being given the Bordetella vaccination to enter the pack, so please plan accordingly.  We charge a $5/day fee for administration of medication and a $5/day fee for any complex or specialized feeding other than kibble/canned food.Please contact our office at 805.473.1701 or reply to this email regarding further questions, scheduling and when you arrive. Our trainer will meet you outside to avoid interrupting any training sessions. For safety reasons, we ask that you keep your dog secured inside your vehicle until our senior staff member arrives to give instructions and to review paperwork. Intake appointments and transfers are conducted outdoors; make sure to dress accordingly and allow enough time in your schedule.
