ALY’S PUPPY BOOT CAMP
Our Bootcamps cover all of the basics from walking nicely to potty training, driving in cars, and socialization – all while maintaining a calm state of mind (for both pooch and owner). You will have daily homework emails so that you begin building your own foundation of knowledge as you work towards a fantastic relationship with your pooch. You can learn alongside your pup via the pictures and videos that I post on YouTube and on our private Facebook group.
Bootcamps culminate in an amazing “GRADUATION” where you will come to the Acres and spend a few hours with me, my pack and your pooch! Before you leave, we will give you your “Schedule for Success” and transition protocols- a thorough outline of what you will be doing with your pooch from sunrise to sunset!

TRAINING, Manners & Socialization & ‘Come When Called’ OFF LEASH (Platinum Package): $4200.00
This 2 week “PLATINUM PACKAGE” experience is for pooches 20 weeks of age and older.
You may wonder why our Platinum COME WHEN CALLED package is only 2 weeks, while our Diamond package is three weeks. Here’s the reason, once we get a dog off leash reliably it’s an absolute game changer in their attitude towards all that we are teaching them. Your dog will say, “So let me get this straight…I get to run around, smell things, act like a dog, have fun, and all I have to do is check in with you when you ask me too? HECK YA, I’m all in!!!”
The ForceFree Method™ is an intuitive system of training that makes sense to both people and dogs. Effective and gentle, using an electronic collar that feels much like a cell phone vibrating, the training method works WITH a dog’s instincts rather than against them. We are able to achieve dramatic results in such a short time-frame because off leash work is so incredibly gratifying for the dogs. It’s a game-changer for their mindset and helps us reset many troublesome behaviors and choices. We achieve off leash reliability, even with distractions, amazingly fast. Most dogs perceive the training as simple “pack cooperation” and play. Therefore, they quickly shed rebellious behavior, and give you more focus than you imagined possible.
By utilizing all the proven strategies in my Pillars of Pack Leadership® foundation, combined with the ForceFree Method™, you will have all the tools required to successfully influence the mind and heart of your dog, even off-lead and from a distance.

FAQs
How old does my dog need to be and what breeds to you work with?
I train dogs of all breeds, sizes and all ages. In dog-trainer land, I have become known as the puppy and all things “Doodle” specialist, and I’m affectionately called the Doodle Whisperer. Puppies can start my boot camps anywhere from 8-weeks of age to one year. Dogs can start my boot camps at any age. It’s never too late to establish a great state of mind in your pooch! My passion for puppies exists because if we get it right here, at this stage in their development, we get it right for a lifetime! We have one window of opportunity to set the foundation for beneficial and healthy socialization for our pups, and that window is when they are between 8-16 weeks old. This time is critical because your pup’s learning facilities are fully in place and he is a sponge ready to learn all things good. Or conversely, habits can begin to be entrenched that are less than desirable. At Aly’s Puppy Boot Camp, your pup will learn to play and work as we encourage your dog’s desire and ability to work for you. Older dogs are welcome as well in my boot camp programs and benefit immensely from the beneficial socialization that happens in my program. Beneficial Socialization is essential to your dog’s mental well-being. Dogs need to learn how to interact with other dogs in a safe, sane and civilized way. We always expand the skill sets taught, as your dog is ready. Older dogs can add, in addition to all the boot camp basics, impulse control, off-lead work, basic agility, down/stay, and recall as the dog is ready.
How can my puppy get to you?
You can bring the dog to me yourself, or you can contact info@alyspuppybootcamp to see if we can arrange a transport for you, usually it's 1.00 per mile. Dogs can fly into the following airports: Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo or Santa Barbara. Be sure to contact me and let me help you coordinate travel arrangements.
What if my puppy can’t start training at 8-weeks-old?
What do I need to provide for my pooch for his training program?
2) For puppies, I feed Nutrisource brand Puppy Food. For adult dogs, I feed Nutrisource Adult dog food and Wendy Volhard’s Natural Diet Foundation 2. If you want some other kind of food, please provide enough for the duration of your pup’s stay.
3) For older dogs: Be sure to bring with you copies of all current vaccinations or Titer tests. We must have evidence of these vaccinations or current titer results in our file at the time of arrival.
4) Please provide any medications or supplements that your pooch may need.
What do I need to buy for my puppy?
I will give you a complete list of items that I recommend and use daily. You can even visit my DOG STORE to purchase any item you desire.
Does my puppy get its required shots and meet breeder’s wellness visit requirements?
All puppies under 16-weeks that come into my program go to my vet for a wellness visit, and a continuation of their shot series. Receipts will be provided.
Can you help me select my puppy or dog?
In my Puppy and Dog Picker Consultation I help owners consider traits of a future puppy that should be included in the decision-making process beyond an adorable face. It is my goal to give you the tools you need to help you evaluate your future family member and determine which pooch is best for you in terms of temperament, mind-set, and energy. You decide where you want to get your dog from; then we begin the puppy or dog evaluation and picking process. It is worth the effort to help you find the puppy or dog that’s just the right fit with you and your family’s energy levels and personality. Additionally, my evaluations can be done via Zoom or Facetime if you are unable to be there in person on your assigned Puppy-Pick day! I also assess litters for breeders. (Travel charges apply.)
