What Foundation Camp Did for Booker & Nash
Before camp: Two young Labradors who made every neighborhood walk a chore.
Before
Where Booker & Nash Started
Two young Labradors who made every neighborhood walk a chore
Scott and Cheryl wanted one specific thing back: a calm walk around their own neighborhood. Booker and Nash had the energy for it and none of the manners.
Two Labradors on two leashes is not twice one dog. It is a different problem, and it does not get solved in the backyard.
The program
Booker & Nash's Foundation Camp
Both dogs came to our Cave Creek team for Foundation Camp. Megan and the team built the bond first, then taught the manners a busy household actually needs, one dog at a time even while they trained side by side.
From there the work moved through Reinforcing and Proofing, adding distraction on purpose, because obedience that only holds in a quiet spot is not a walk.

After
Where Booker & Nash Ended Up
Booker and Nash went home as walking partners rather than a two-dog problem, holding their manners where it counted.
Our team handed the structure to Scott and Cheryl directly, which is the Maintenance stage and the reason the walks stayed calm after camp ended.
