K-9 Boot Camp

Elite Behavior & Rehabilitation Training

At ROCKPAW K9S, our Boot Camp program is the most intensive and transformative training experience we offer. It’s designed for dogs with serious behavioral issues, especially those dealing with aggression, reactivity, anxiety, or extreme disobedience.

We don’t offer daycare. We don’t do group classes.
We offer real change.

Do You Need Bootcamp?

If you’ve experienced any of the situations below — it’s time for Bootcamp. This program is built for dogs with serious behavioral challenges and for owners who need real solutions.

    • Has your dog lunged, growled, or snapped at other dogs or people? Bootcamp provides a safe and structured space to work through serious aggression with a team of experts.

    • If you feel nervous around your dog or worry they might harm someone — you’re not alone. We help rebuild safe, respectful relationships.

    • Whether your dog is shut down, overwhelmed by new environments, or reacts from fear, we’ll rebuild their confidence step by step

    • Tried group classes or private sessions with no results? We specialize in cases that require more time, more expertise, and more focus.

    • If you’ve been told your dog is too much to handle — we’re here for you. We specialize in dogs others won’t take on.

    • If nothing else has worked and your dog needs structure, discipline, and trust — our Bootcamp offers a clean slate and clear guidance.

Why Our Bootcamp Works

Our facility is located on private property in the Tehachapi Mountains, where your dog is removed from distractions and immersed in a focused environment with one goal: transformation.

    • Your dog receives hands-on attention from multiple trainers throughout the day. This ensures consistency, reinforcement, and round-the-clock guidance tailored to your dog’s behavior. We work as a team to bring out the best in your dog.

    • We don’t just train your dog — we live with them. From meals to bedtime, your dog is part of our structured routine, building trust and a deeper relationship that enhances learning and stability.

    • Your dog will be safely introduced to real-life triggers and environments that challenge their behavior. This allows us to correct unwanted reactions and teach calm, confident responses.

    • We don’t use a cookie-cutter approach. Each dog receives a plan that adapts based on their progress, challenges, and unique personality — ensuring results that last beyond bootcamp.

    • Every client receives access to their dog’s training videos after Bootcamp. These clips are not only proof of progress but also a valuable reference tool for maintaining structure at home.

    • Post-Boot Camp training sessions are available at the owner’s discretion and take place in your home to ensure a successful transition back into your dog’s daily routine and environment.

Daily Video Updates & One-on-One Trainer Check-Ins

What makes our Boot Camp truly one-of-a-kind is the level of communication and care we offer throughout your dog’s stay. Every day, you'll receive custom video updates showing your dog’s progress, along with training tips tailored to you — so you’re not just watching from afar, you’re learning with us.

We also offer personal phone check-ins at your convenience, where one of our trainers will walk you through how your dog did that day — the wins, the challenges, and what we’re working on next. We even provide a simple A–F grading system to help you track behavior and progress at a glance.

You’ll never feel out of the loop — just fully supported, every step of the way.
