Group Classes

Camp Bow Wow’s group classes include a variety of programs for all skill levels. Our obedience program is split into multiple levels, so pups start with the basics and increase the difficulty through each level as you and your dog progress. Other group classes include tricks, leash-walking skills, CGC prep, and more!

The three levels of our obedience classes are:

Level I—Basic: Builds the foundation of reliable commands like sit, down, leave it, come when called, and leash walking.
Level II—Intermediate: Learn how to get your dog to heel by your side, go to their mat, and add distance plus distractions to all their behaviors.
Level III—Public Polishing/CGC Prep: This level teaches your dog to sit when you greet a stranger, heel in a crowd, and more. They will now be prepared for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) exam.

In-Camp & Private Training

Camp Bow Wow St. Charles offers several options for pet parents who prefer their pup receives private training. Our Certified Trainers can work with your dog while they attend Camp, spending one-on-one time with them teaching behaviors you would like to work on. We can also provide training services for you and your dog in a private setting, based on your needs.

Dog Training FAQs

Have questions? Camp Bow Wow St. Charles is here to help!

Training prices can vary by location, class type, and program length. Many Camps offer group puppy classes, private sessions, or training packages at different price points so you can choose what fits your needs and budget. Contact your Camp Bow Wow location for current rates and options, and we’ll help you find the right training path for you and your pup.
You can start training your puppy as soon as they come home, focusing first on simple cues like their name, “sit,” “come,” and gentle handling. Early training helps set good habits, builds trust, and makes learning fun. Once your pup meets age and vaccine requirements, they can often join puppy classes to practice manners and social skills in a safe setting. See if training is available at your local Camp Bow Wow.
Group classes can be fantastic for puppies when they’re well-structured and supervised. Your pup learns basic manners and cues while also practicing focus around other dogs, people, and distractions. It’s a fun, safe way to build skills, confidence, and socialization all at once. See if training is available at your local Camp Bow Wow.
Yes. Our training programs are built around positive reinforcement—rewarding the behaviors we want to see more of with treats, praise, toys, or play. This approach helps your pup learn faster, builds trust, and strengthens the bond between you and your four-legged family member. See if training is available at your local Camp Bow Wow.
Yes, training can be a big help for pups struggling with separation anxiety. Through structured routines, confidence-building exercises, and gradual alone-time training, we can teach your dog coping skills and help them feel safer when you’re not right by their side. Our trainers can also recommend enrichment and daycare options that support calmer, more relaxed behavior. See if training is available at your local Camp Bow Wow.
