Option 4: Service Dog Training: Duration Customized Camp Tuition – Please request a quote.

  • This option offers Service Dog training for a variety of needs.
  • Did you know that your puppy may be able to be trained and registered as a Service Dog? That’s right! There are no restrictions when it comes to size or breed. Depending on the level of help or support that you need, your dog may be the helper that you’ve been dreaming of. Not all dogs can be Service Dogs, but with an evaluation, we can help determine if a dog has the necessary qualities to become a Service Dog.
  • Service Dogs are trained to perform a variety of specific tasks for their owners/handlers. The tasks that the dogs are trained for can vary depending on the owner/handlers needs. Some puppies are trained to stand and support their handlers for balance, pull them out of a chair or lead their handler to a car. These dogs can greatly assist individuals who suffer from such conditions as multiple sclerosis, PTSD, autism/aspergers or muscular dystrophy to name a few. Aside from training the dogs to become service dogs owners can rely on performing these tasks or jobs, each dog must be proficient in basic obedience commands and perform them consistently in various public environments.
  • Get in touch for a consultation, and discover what we can do for you and your dog!
  • Our custom option can include other needs you have for your puppy other than a Service Dog. For example, you are traveling to Europe and want your dog trained for a few months while you are away. 

Option 5: Boarding – $40/day

  • Boarding is available for puppies who cannot be pickup up within the specified time frame.
  • Boarding includes the necessities, playtime outside, vaccinations due during that time, and lots of love. We recommend rather than boarding your puppy, that you extend your puppy’s time in training came which keeps their minds busy and challenged and for which you will reap the rewards of a well-behaved canine best friend.

**Due to limited space, please reserve your Cedar Creek Training Camp as early as possible.
Reservation may be made as soon as you have selected your pup.
A 10% deposit of the tuition is required upon reservation.**

We are only able to offer our training camps to Cedar Creek puppies due to high demand.

It is our policy to not allow visitations to puppies in our training camps. Your puppy is on a tight schedule regarding eating, potty trips and training. She goes to the bathroom like clock work. A distracting visit may set her back toward where she started. She is in the formational imprinting training period and taking it right on. These are the recommendations and policies of our highly qualified trainers who have years of experience.

The intent of video and picture updates is to keep you informed and in the know while not disrupting the puppy’s training.
So, with keeping the best in mind for your puppy, we can’t permit exciting visits until Training Camp is completed.
