Our Dog Boot Camps

We offer three board & train boot camp options. Each boot camp is designed to address specific issues or develop obedience in various stages. With all of our boot camps, we work with you upon completion to ensure the training can be maintained well into the future. Descriptions and prices are listed below.

Basic Boot Camp

Our basic boot camp will give you the control you are looking for to address ANY unwanted nuisance behaviors like jumping, barking, or counter surfing.

We use our unique training approach to teach a "No, leave it" command and pair that with positively conditioned ecollar to be used as an enforcer.

Training Goals:
-Come when Called off Leash While Distracted
-Walk on loose leash ignoring distractions
-"No Leave It" command to stop all unwanted behaviors

Duration: 3 weeks

Intermediate and Puppy Camp

If you are looking for a well-behaved obedient dog, our intermediate training package is for you. For dogs 5 to 7 months old, we start by teaching the behaviors and then transition the dog home for a short time before returning to finish obedience training.

Training Goals:
-Come when Called off Leash While Distracted to a heel (next to left leg) finish
-Walk on loose leash ignoring distractions
-Sit and Down with Stay command
-"No Leave it" command to stop all unwanted behaviors

Duration: 5 weeks (puppy camps two 3 week camps)

Advanced (off leash obedience)

Our advanced program puts it all together and gives you the control you are looking for without the need of a leash. We train using positive reinforcement and remote training collars to obtain the best possible results!

Training Goals:

-Same goals as intermediate but all commands and behaviors are advanced to off leash reliable.


Duration: 8 weeks

Customer testimonials

We recently adopted a 1 year old rescue and walking him was a nightmare. He would pull on the leash and would get overly excited and bark at other dogs and people, and generally seemed very anxious.  We did the boot camp with Mike and I have a new dog! He walks on a loose leash and ignores other dogs so walks are now enjoyable for both of us. Mike is a true professional and you can tell that he loves what he does. He listened to my concerns and made a plan that would work for my dog and our family. He had great communication with me the entire time he was working with my dog and has been great answering any follow-up questions I've had. If you are frustrated with any of your dog's behaviors - do not hesitate to work with Mike and MCC!
We sent our doofy and sweet  (almost) one year old German Shepherd, Rocky,  to Minnesota Canine Consulting.I cannot speak highly enough of the owner, Andy.  When we met after to go through how we should use the training they taught our dog, Andy did not think Rocky was where he wanted Rocky to be. He asked if he could personally take Rocky home with him for a few days and work with him one-on-one.You don’t see this very often with companies. Andy was very invested in making sure we got a well trained dog at the end and we are so appreciative of that.When we got Rocky back, he was SO much better behaved. He walked right next to us when we walked him, he wasn’t jumping up, he listened.   He’s still his same old goofy self, but just much better behaved! I highly recommend :)
