Yes! We offer Puppy Boot Camp specifically designed for puppies ages 8 weeks to 6 months. Our puppy program focuses on early socialization, house training, crate training, bite inhibition, basic obedience commands, and building confidence in new environments. Early training is crucial for preventing future behavior problems and setting your puppy up for lifelong success. Puppies learn through positive, age-appropriate methods on our 130-acre campus with plenty of supervised play and exploration.

At The DOG, training always comes first. We are not a kennel that offers training as an add-on, we are a dedicated board and train company built around structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. Every dog stays on our 130-acre private campus in Putnam Valley, NY, where they learn obedience, manners, and confidence through real-world experience. Our professional team of trainers works with each dog daily, and every program includes follow-up lessons and lifetime support. We also offer door-to-door shuttle service for clients in NYC, Westchester, and Greenwich, making it easy for busy owners to give their dogs the best possible training experience.

Yes, our team at The DOG has extensive experience working with dogs that display aggression, reactivity, or resource guarding behaviors. These cases are handled carefully through a structured board and train program focused on clear communication, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Each dog is evaluated individually to understand the root of the behavior before training begins. Under the guidance of our experienced trainers, dogs learn to feel more secure, make better choices, and respond calmly to everyday situations. We’ve helped many families successfully manage and improve these behaviors through our comprehensive, supportive approach. If you’d like to learn more, we’re happy to discuss your dog’s specific needs and outline the right plan.
