Rocky Camp Dog Training

Specialties

Rocky Camp specializes in dog training and obedience ranging to every from from basic obedience to AKC level certifications.

Here at Rocky Camp you and your dog have the chance to jump into a great bonding experience where you both learn new ways of communicating with each other. This only leads to the perfect dog-​owner relationship.

Whether you are a new pet parent dealing with some of the basics like potty training, going into therapy training, or you’re the owner with the crazy dog that likes to lunge at people then Rocky Camp is just for you!

We also offer walking and boarding services!

Our Method: Our approach to training here at Rocky Camp is all Positive Reinforcement to encourage your dog to not only enjoy your training time spent together but learn in a way that encourages your pup to want to learn more. Though we can’t possibly get through all of our training by simply saying yes and thus we do use Positive Punishment to cure and shape the unwanted behavior

Meet the Business Owner

TJ P.

Business Owner

My name is TJ. I’m an avid dog lover and Lead Certified Dog Trainer at Rocky Camp. Growing up in farm country in Southern California (yes it does exist). I was always the kid that brought home any neighborhood stray I could find along with injured birds, baby birds, cats, dogs, ferrets, etc. You name it and I have not only tried to own it but train it!

After my organic training I was employed and certified with the Petco company. After putting in some time I realized how much more good I could do for the real issue in training, communication, if I branched away from major corporations to private in-​home training. This allowed me the freedom to grow and develop a method of training that not only works for great results in behavior but also a deeper bond between the pet and pet parent.
