In Home Boot Camp
In Home Boot Camp is where I bring your dog into my home for a recommended 3 weeks and work with him/her everyday in my own home. They will get one on one experience with me to learn anything from crate training, proper house manners, as well as manners in public places. They will get to experience horses and children as well. The last week of training the owner will come and learn what their dog has been learning and how to continue the same things at home to make their relationship grow. $600 and up per week or $85.71 and up a day. My goal is to always help you meet your goals with your dog. Whether you want basic training or service dog training, I welcome you as part of the KSR family.
I highly recommend a minimum of 2 weeks due to the dogs needing some time to adjust. I have seen dogs do best at three weeks but understand the restraint and will be happy to work with you. I do encourage you to have a plan to work with me afterwords so that I can continue to help you and your dog to be happy and healthy together. When you come pick your dog up from the board and train, please plan on working with me for 30minutes to 1 hour so I can show you all that your dog has achieved.

This is Finely doing some confidence building. Such a smart boy!
Mila practicing sit and recall in a pet friendly store. This is a great way to work with distraction work.
KSR is located on FM 580 in Copperas Cove, TX. We are two hours north of Austin, TX and about 3 hours South of Dallas, TX. |
Part of being at KSR is that the dogs learn how they should behave around the cats. Nugget loves Beckett.

Part of Alexa's issues were that she would pee in her crate every time anyone would come up to it. Here she is practicing being calm before exiting her crate.
This is Raja at 12 weeks learning sit, down, and stand. She learns very quickly.

Puppy Boot-Camp

Puppy Boot-Camp is new to KSR as of October 2021. But KSR is not new to raising puppies. I have raised my own Golden Doodle Puppies for a short time before I decided I wanted to throw myself into more of the dog training side. I decided I would let others enjoy the puppy rearing and I would help families once they received their new family member.
Puppy Boot-Camp is broken down into 3 different weeks. You can bring your puppy for just the first week or you can bring them for weeks 1, 2, and 3. With this program, we make your new family members transition into a home a positive one with our 1, 2 or 3-week stay. This is an on-sight board and train program in the trainers home, located here on KSR property.
During the First 12 weeks of a puppies life, it is the equivalent to the first 5 years of a young child's life. They learn necessary socializing, and it is a very important stage in their development. By the end of 12 weeks, his or her core of social development is over! They also go through what is called a 'fear period' during this stage that stems from their candid days before dogs were domesticated and unusual things can cause weird fears later in adult dogs. This period of 8-12 weeks is known as the "I'm Afraid of Everything Stage" and imagine you're taking your young child through ages 2-5 in only 4 weeks! Whew, that's a LOT!! That's why, in the hands of our puppy trainer, we offer this program for 1-3 weeks.
First, What Do They Learn?
How the Puppy Boot-Camp works:
Your puppy will be leaving its litter mates for the first time, leaving all that they have known to start their new lives as part of your family. This can be difficult not only for them, but for you and your family as you begin to try and crate train, potty train, prevent them from nipping, chewing, and jumping (all normal behavior for a new puppy but also stressful as a new pet owner). It can be difficult to juggle everyday life as well as work on these very important skills every day with your puppy. The first few days and weeks are critical and can have a lasting impression on your pups behavior and development. With our 1, 2, and 3 week puppy boot-camp experience we can get your puppy ready for your home to start your journey together off right!
1 Week Crate & Train Experience:
The 1-week crate & train experience is focused on getting your puppy on a schedule for eating and drinking, sleeping, playing, and pottying. This week your puppy will be getting used to their new schedule as we work on crate training with a focus on a potty schedule and breaks to prevent accidents in the crate and around the house. We will also work on teaching your puppy their name this week and start working on establishing a productive training routine. We will also begin teaching the critical manners and cues your pup must know moving forward. By the end of the 1 week puppy boot-camp your puppy will be more acclimated to their crates during the day and night with minimal crying and accidents. They are on an eating schedule, working on name recognition, and continue to perfect walking on a leash and getting used to a collar.
This week we will also continue Puppy Culture practices and expand on socialization and new experiences to make your puppy more comfortable and happier in new environments. Your puppy will be exposed to different sounds (such as the TV, vacuum, etc.) of a busy household along with new sights (being in the car, exploring a house, etc.) as part of our socialization practices. We believe in positive reinforcement.
We will also continue age appropriate vaccinations and deworming schedule for your puppy this week if required.
What you will receive with 1 Week Crate & Train Experience:
-Slip Leash
-Seat Belt Tether
-Continued age appropriate vaccinations and deworming (if asked)-Charged for veterinary visit and $20 fee for time and travel to vet.

2 Week Puppy Boot-Camp Experience:
You receive everything in week 1 plus….
This 2-week program will introduce your new puppy to obedience commands and reinforcement of the skills learned in week 1. This experience is for anyone wanting their puppy to get a jump start on training and begin to build a training foundation and continue to work on the skills learned in week 1. With this 2 week program your puppy will become even more comfortable with life away from their litter mates, integration into everyday home life, and training.
During this 2 week experience the basic commands we will be introducing on a daily basis include: their name, sit, stay, come, down, and off. Your pup will be worked with throughout the day to become familiar with these commands as they are reinforced and rewarded. Socialization will continue this week as your pup will continue to see day to day sights, sounds, and smells of home life and new environments. We will have at least 2 new experience outings this week such as going through a drive through, going through a carwash, etc. Crate training should progress this week as the pup should now be getting comfortable to their safe space with minimal barking and accidents. This week we will also continue working on potty training and reward for pottying in the right spot to limit accidents in the house.
After 2 weeks of Stay & Train your puppy will be more comfortable in a home setting with a basic knowledge of commands to help get them acclimated to everyday life at home for an easier transition into your family!

3 Week Puppy Boot-Camp Experience:
You receive everything in week 1 and 2 plus….
Week 3 is a reinforcement week from weeks 1 and 2 where consistency and repetition is key. The week 3 Puppy Boot-Camp Experience is for the novice puppy owner who would like a more well-behaved pup upon bringing them home. This week your puppy will obtain a more solid understanding of the obedience commands introduced in week 2. Your puppy will continue potty training this week and will reduce the number of accidents in the house. Your puppy is now on a schedule that can be easily replicated at your home for a smooth transition. This includes pottying, feeding, sleeping, training, and play time.
After week 3 when it is time for your puppy to go home, you can expect them to have better household manners and a head start in development with this reinforcement week.
-Continued age appropriate vaccinations and deworming (if asked)-Charged for veterinary visit and $20 fee for time and travel to vet.
-30min - 1 hour training overview upon completion of the 3-week Stay & Train Experience
Price: $1610.00
Please note: Puppies require constant reinforcement of the training tools they leave the stay and train program with. While this program offers a great foundation for your new puppy, they are just that, foundations. You will need to continue the training at home to insure that your puppy grows to become a great dog. We begin crate and potty training right away to help acclimate your puppy to the crate and relieving themselves outside. Please keep in mind puppies may not be fully potty trained or fully crate trained at the end of your puppy’s stay with us, depending on the puppy.xI believe the best method to continue potty training to get the best results is by tethering your puppy to you so that you can watch his/her cues to go potty. It is also a great way for the puppy to bond with you when they come home. Please keep in mind puppies may not be fully potty trained or fully crate trained at the end of your puppy’s stay with us, depending on the puppy.
