These camps are working camps for aggressive or reactive dogs. There will be a minimum of two sessions per day with the dogs, working on individual and group problems. In addition to the working sessions, there will be classroom time, discussing foundation behaviors, calming signals, background information on aggression, management and how to live with an aggressive dog. If there is time, we will do other things as well (depending on the weather and availability), such as group trail walking, swimming for both dogs and people and more.
To get the full benefit of this training, you must attend both days.
The fees are:
Working Slots: You and your dog - $300.00
Auditing Slots: $150.00
All proceeds will benefit New England Border Collie Rescue.

All I ever wanted to know about Camp R.E.W.A.R.D.
but was afraid to ask:
What is Camp R.E.W.A.R.D.?
This Camp R.E.W.A.R.D. is a 2 day camp/seminar for owners and their aggressive, reactive or shy dogs.
What training methods are used at Camp R.E.W.A.R.D.?
Positive methods only are used at the camp. Prong collars, choke chains, head halters, yelling, jerking, etc., will not be allowed at Camp R.E.W.A.R.D. The positive methods used have been proven to be the best methods for dealing with aggressive dogs.
What behaviors will my dog need to know before coming to Camp R.E.W.A.R.D.?
The short list:
Eye contact with you even amidst distractions (or as best as you can)
Name response amidst distractions (or as best as you can)
Come word response amidst distractions (or as best as you can)
Door etiquette
Walk on a loose leash
Sit and down
Stay
Crate training dogs must feel comfortable in a crate in your vehicle. These dogs are all aggressive and the safest place for your dog is in a crate in your car/van. In addition, it is cooler for your dog to be in a crate that way you can safely keep the doors and windows open in hot weather, while you are waiting your turn. I may bend on the fluency of the other behaviors on this list, but not on crate training.
Why are these basic behaviors needed for camp?
Without these simple basic behaviors, we cannot work on the aggression issues with your dog. If your dog isnt focused on you, he will have no choice but to focus on his own particular provoking stimuli.
What can I expect to learn at Camp R.E.W.A.R.D.?
How to set up a personalized and positive desensitization program, with exercises you will learn at camp. How to NOT be your dogs worst nightmare and how to set your dog up to succeed (ie: not aggress).
What will we be doing at camp?
The short list:
Classroom time every day
At least 2-3 sessions per day working with your dog
Rally Obedience
Free shaping/tricks
Freestyle (dancing with your dog)
Swimming dogs and humans weather permitting
Hiking (some flat, some hills)
