Welcome to Hilton Butler’s K-9 Bootcamp
Building a Lifetime Bond from Day One
At Hilton Butler’s K-9 Bootcamp, we believe that great dogs are not born—they are raised through clear communication, structure, and trust. Backed by nearly 20 years of experience and a deep understanding of canine psychology, our mission is to help you bridge the communication gap between yourself and your puppy.
Every puppy is unique. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all training. Instead, we use a balanced training philosophy that combines positive reinforcement with tailored, real-world boundaries. To set your puppy up for true success, our immersive board-and-train programs are conducted right inside our own home. By teaching your puppy good manners in a real home setting, we ensure their new habits translate seamlessly back into yours.
Our Specialized Puppy Programs
Whether you have a brand-new pup needing baseline structure or an older puppy ready for an accelerated foundation, we offer two dedicated, immersive paths to fit your lifestyle.
Option 1: The 3-Week Puppy Campout
For Puppies 10 Weeks to 6 Months Old
Price: $2700
The early months of a puppy’s life are critical for shaping lifelong behavior. Our 3-Week Puppy Campout is an intensive, immersive program designed to lay a flawless foundation of obedience, socialization, and confidence during this formative window. Your puppy stays in our home from Monday through graduation nearly three weeks later, receiving three dedicated, individualized training sessions per day alongside structured socialization and playtime.
What Your Puppy Learns:
When you enroll your furry friend in Hilton Butler’s puppy training classes, you can expect all of the following and more:
- Housebreaking & Potty Routines: Establishing predictable schedules and crate-training confidence to eliminate accidents at home.
- Essential Commands: Building responsive reflexes for core commands including Sit, Stay, Come, and Leave It.
- Behavioral Management: Proactively curbing unwanted puppy behaviors like nipping, destructive chewing, and nuisance barking.
- Real-World Socialization: Immersive exposure to new sights, sounds, and controlled interactions with other dogs to build confidence.
- Leash Manners: Mastering early loose-leash walking foundations so future strolls are a joy.
Your Long-Term Success Package:
To make sure the training holds perfectly in your everyday environment, this program includes 4 in-home follow-up lessons after your puppy graduates. We come directly to you to help transfer the leadership skills and iron out any real-world household distractions.
Option 2: The 10-Day Board & Train
Custom-Focused Accelerated Bootcamp
Price: $1500
Designed for busy families or puppies who need an efficient, highly focused reset, our 10-Day Board & Train program delivers rapid progress by zeroing in on your immediate household needs. Ten days is a short window, so we don’t try to force a one-size-fits-all curriculum. Instead, we collaborate with you to focus this program on one of two distinct training paths:
-
Path A: Crate Training, House Training & Everyday Manners
This track is ideal for younger puppies or dogs struggling with household boundaries. We focus heavily on establishing strong potty habits, building positive associations with the crate, and curbing rude behaviors like jumping on guests, nipping, or stealing items off counters.
-
Path B: Core Commands & Attentive Obedience
This track is ideal for dogs ready to master their functional listening vocabulary. We focus heavily on high-repetition, distraction-heavy training for fundamental commands like Sit, Stay, Place, Come, and loose-leash walking.
Your Long-Term Success Package:
We don’t leave you hanging after graduation. Whichever path you choose, this program includes 2 scheduled Zoom lessons to troubleshoot your puppy’s transition back home, answer your real-time behavioral questions, and keep you completely on track.
The Butler Difference: We Train the Whole Family
True training does not end when your puppy graduates. Because consistency is the secret to lasting success, we place immense value on owner involvement. When you pick up your puppy, we spend dedicated time teaching you the exact communication cues, routines, and hand signals your dog learned during their stay.
With daily practice, patience, and our structured follow-up lessons, we ensure that the well-mannered puppy who leaves our home remains a well-mannered family member in yours.
