Training Built on a Healthy Relationship

We believe successful training starts with trust, respect, and love between you and your dog. Rather than forcing your dog to listen, our trainers teach you how to lead so your dog wants to follow. Each program is tailored to your goals, using methods with the least conflict while challenging your dog with distance, duration, and distraction for real-life reliability. All dogs at Camp Mill Pond must be current on Rabies, DHPP/DHLPP, Bordetella, and Canine Influenza (CIV) vaccines to join training

From puppy foundations to advanced obedience and the Canine Good Citizen program, classes build skills step by step.

Private Lessons

Classes for Every Stage and Goal

Whether you’re starting with a young puppy or building advanced skills, Camp Mill Pond has a class to match. Our Puppy Group lays the foundation for dogs 8 to 20 weeks old, while Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced Obedience build progressively—covering commands, pack structure, body language, and communication, right up to group field trips in the advanced season. For active and working breeds, our canine sports and specialty classes in Agility, Nosework, Treibball, and Tricks strengthen the human-dog bond while keeping training fun.

Training That Fits Your Dog

From basic manners to canine sports, our trainers tailor every program to you and your dog’s unique needs.
No two dogs learn the same way, so our trainers formulate a program around your specific goals. Group classes build skills in a social setting, while private lessons focus on individual challenges. Many classes require completion of Basic Obedience or an instructor evaluation first, so call our Camp Clubhouse and we’ll help you choose the right starting point for your dog.
