Your DOG is your workout partner! Every class is run by a certified personal trainer and dog trainer. That's all we will reveal...come and see it for yourself!
Before bootcampers are ready to start, they must complete the mandatory one on one obedience lesson and evaluation (for both dog and owner health and dog temperament). There, they will get a welcome packet that they will take home as it will be a guide to their success. The classes are set in intervals and the workout is never interrupted, even when doing the obedience training! Our program is one
TDBC is gonna have to get in on some of this contest/raffle action. We'll come up with our own but for now, go check out our sister company, Thank Dog Training and Behavior Modification, and their giveaway. Show off what your pups have been up to!

Soooo, once upon a time, we developed an app. Yep, it's true. Let's not talk about that too much. Just know it was a huge undertaking for us and the fact that you have no idea it even exists, lets you know how that went. Anywho... we've got a repository (SAT word) of all these really great exercise photos from the iPhone 4 (sarcasm) and well, since you didn't get to see them in the app, we might as well use them here whenever possible.
If you haven't worked out with us before, our workouts are broken up into intervals of cardio and resistance. During the cardio, your dog is right along side you, on-leash. We're going to keep it simple for now. You can walk, jog or sprint (as long as you're adequately warmed up) - we just ask that you do the cardio at a pace that keeps you moderately challenged for whatever duration we specify. During resistance intervals, your dog should be in a down/stay or Place command nearby. If they aren't currently great at staying, you can fix their leash to a heavy piece of furniture or other immovable object. You can also crate your dog, especially if that supports your current dog training objectives. The longest each interval will ever be is 10 minutes in duration. Traditionally our full workouts are one hour. We're gonna start you out easy with a 30 minute workout. Are you ready? Get your shoes on, grab your dog and let's do this!

Hey there Cortland Bootcampers! After careful consideration, I decided not to hold classes this year. If anything changes, I will announce it here. I LOVE instructing my bootcamp but this is best for me right now. Thank you to those who have inquired; and to my past bootcampers, I’m sad to not see your faces this year! I will be out and about with my dog, Ash should anyone want to join me! We do long hikes in the morning!!
