Training Camp Programs
Our premier Elizabethtown dog training service gives us the opportunity to build a solid foundation of leadership that is easy for you to maintain once your dog comes home. We use real life opportunities to teach what’s expected in various situations. During their stay we focus on a consistent routine that creates trust, incorporates basic obedience, encourages better habits & leash skills, builds self control & confidence, and allows their true personality to emerge. All without shock collars! It’s also fun and full of socialization opportunities!
To set you up for success, every session at our Shepherdsville, KY camp includes a private training lesson at the end to transfer the training skills to you and your family so you can continue reinforcing everything your dog has learned, along with a written report card, and at least one Leash Manners group class. Standard and Premium camps include a custom training video of your dog for use as a reference.

Customer testimonials
The staff provided excellent communication throughout the process, offering regular updates on my dogs’ progress. They tailored the training to address specific behaviors, and I’ve noticed significant improvements in obedience and socialization. The facility is clean, safe, and well-organized, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dogs were in good hands.
I highly recommend Dog Training Camp USA to anyone looking for top-notch training and care for their dogs. I’m so grateful for the positive impact this experience has had on my dogs and our family life. Five stars all the way!
I can't say enough good things about Dog Training Camp USA in Shepherdsville, Kentucky! I’ve sent both of my German Shepherds here for their training camps and day camp sessions, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about each dog's individual needs. My dogs have not only learned essential obedience skills but have also become more confident and well-behaved overall.
The facility is top-notch, with plenty of space for the dogs to exercise and socialize. I love how the staff keeps me updated on my dogs' progress, and even send photos! It’s clear they’re passionate about what they do. Every time I pick up my dogs, they’re happy, well-cared-for, and eager to return.
If you're looking for a place where your dog will receive the best training and care, look no further than Dog Training Camp USA. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking professional and effective dog training. Thank you to the entire team for the wonderful work they do!
I will say that my pup came to us with an amazingly gentle and sweet soul (we can't take credit for that). He is bigger than my others, so when he plays, he squishes them. With love, of course, but they're still squished.
I am disabled and needed help in handling a larger dog. They were helpful from the beginning. I told them everything about the situation, and they listened and were responsive.
They answered every question or concern. They were informative and honest. They explained what they could help with and could try. They are NO GUARANTEES.
I know and understand that training is actually for humans. It is to help us learn how to help our beloved four-legged kids.
Once we humans acknowledge our responsibility as their caretakers/parent, we can better lead them.
The owners/trainers are amazing and beautiful souls who love their job and their four-legged kid clients. Maybe not their parents as much 😉, but they're willing to try and teach us.
I trusted them with my very much loved pup, and they took that trust and cherished that trust. I can not recommend this facility and staff enough!
They have many options of training. With the variety they offer, it can definitely work with most schedules and home specific routines.
I am very grateful for the care, love, and help they have given me. And for the continuation of support they offer for their parents after we take our pups home.
The training is outstanding and has made a huge difference
People if you don't take you dog here your missing out on a great opportunity of having the best dog ever

Thanks for your patience and understanding with my Dexter❣️❣️
I’ve tried other boarding training places. They all said she was too fearful to be trained. She is hyper vigilant, anxious, and she shuts down if punished.
Their method made corrections just part of communicating. When we came back for a group class, she went right up and kissed them.

They took the time to understand not only the unique personalities of my dogs, but also considered my home environment and lifestyle. This personalized approach made all the difference in creating a training plan that was not only effective but also integrated well into our daily lives.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dog Training Camp USA to anyone who is looking for trainers that use humane, effective techniques that work in real life situations. Thank you, Cory and Melaney!
Our biggest concern was potty training, this girl WOULD NOT go outside to go potty. The amount of time & dedication that Melaney spent with her to potty train her was amazing. She didn’t come home fully potty trained but it was more than enough to help us to continue potty train her. Just ask Cory & Melaney about her.. they will explain how difficult this girl is.
Her other training went well too, she hardly ever pulls on her leash anymore & if she does, it’s easy to get her back where she needs to be.
Dog training goes beyond dog camp but it’s definitely a wonderful place to start! They also offer continuing education classes so your dog can get refreshers and to also help the parents. Boarding and day camp is also a perk.
I’d definitely go back if we ever get another puppy.
