Call (732) 938-5040

Quick Answer

Dan Gentile Dog Training Center offers one of the most effective dog training boot camp programs in Monmouth County for dogs 3.5 to 4 months and older. Our two-week immersive program removes your dog from trigger environments, places them in a highly structured setting, and builds reliable obedience on our private 12-acre campus. All obedience training is guaranteed.

Does Your Dog Need a Boot Camp?

Dogs are highly contextual learners. When your dog practices jumping or pulling in your living room or neighborhood every day, those locations become triggers for the bad behavior. A boot camp changes the environment entirely — so your dog can learn without old habits getting in the way.

Warning Signs Your Dog May Need Boot Camp:

  • Complete command disregard when unleashed
  • Frantic barking at windows or lunging during walks
  • Counter-surfing behavior
  • Excessive jumping on visitors that lasts for hours
  • Physically overpowering you during walks

What Our Two-Week Program Fixes

Every dog in the boot camp gets focused, daily instruction on the behaviors that matter most.

Our Step-by-Step Boot Camp Process

1
Drop Off and Evaluation

We discuss your concerns, assess your dog’s behavior, and create a custom training plan tailored to their specific needs.

2
Immersion Phase (Week 1)

The first week establishes core rules and clear communication. Your dog learns the foundation commands in a controlled, distraction-free environment.

3
Proofing Phase (Week 2)

We add real-world distractions — outdoor training with traffic, other dogs, and changing environments. This is where commands become reliable, not just practiced.

4
Owner Turnover

On the final day, we transfer leadership skills to you. We spend dedicated time walking you through exactly how to maintain everything your dog learned — plus free lifetime support if you ever need help.

Why Our Howell Township Facility Stands Out

Dogs learn much faster when they are relaxed. Our 12-acre private campus makes that possible.

12-Acre Private Campus

Your dog trains on real grass, walks quiet nature trails, and experiences real-world distractions safely — all within our secure property.

Owner Training Included

A well-trained dog still needs a confident leader at home. We spend dedicated time with you on pick-up day to transfer everything your dog has learned.

Free Lifetime Support

Our commitment doesn’t end at pick-up. If you ever struggle or need a refresher, you are completely covered. Call us anytime.

Common Dog Training Boot Camp Questions

Helpful Resources

What age can my dog start boot camp?

We accept dogs starting at 3.5 to 4 months of age. There is no maximum age — we successfully train older dogs every week.

How long is the boot camp program?

The program is two weeks. Week one focuses on building core obedience in a controlled environment. Week two adds real-world distractions to proof those commands in practical situations.

Can you work with reactive dogs?

We are highly successful at fixing reactivity, including fear-based barking and lunging. However, we do decline dogs with a history of biting humans for safety reasons.

What if my dog regresses after boot camp?

Consistency is the secret to long-term success. If you ever struggle, you are completely covered. You can call us anytime for guidance using our lifetime support guarantee.

Is the obedience training guaranteed?

Yes. All obedience training is guaranteed. Your dog will learn Sit, Stay, Come, Heel, Down, and Leave It — and we stand behind those results.

How is boot camp different from board and train?

Our boot camp and board-and-train programs share the same proven methodology. Boot camp emphasizes intensive behavioral transformation — particularly for dogs with severe issues like leash pulling, reactivity, or total command disregard. Both include the same lifetime support guarantee.
