Real world. Real dog.
Real adventure.

Swimming, patios, transit, trails, and everything in between.

Adventure Camp takes training out of one room and into real life. Your dog swims, rides transit, sits calm on a restaurant patio, and hits the trail, all while building the obedience and confidence that sticks once they're home.

Built around
your dog.

Before day one, Lamar sits down and learns your dog: the toy they can't put down, the treat that works every time, the walks you already take together, what makes them nervous and what makes them light up. Adventure Camp is built from that, not a fixed schedule, so every outing actually fits the dog in front of him.

What Your Dog Actually Does

Stimulated in body
and mind.

Every adventure reinforces real obedience in a new setting, so it's not just a fun outing, it's training that generalizes.

Swimming

Supervised swim sessions build confidence in water and burn serious energy.

Restaurant Patios

Practicing a calm place-and-settle around food, people, and new smells.

Public Transportation

Real exposure to buses and crowded platforms, handled with a steady leash and voice.

Hikes & Trails

Off-leash recall practice and long-distance stamina work on East Austin greenbelts.

Socialization

Structured meetups with other dogs and new people, always on Lamar's terms.

Enrichment Games

Puzzle toys, scent work, and impulse-control games between outings to keep minds sharp.

Good to Know

Adventure Camp
FAQs.

Is Adventure Camp safe for anxious or reactive dogs?

Yes, outings are chosen and paced based on each dog's temperament. Lamar builds confidence gradually rather than forcing exposure.

What if my dog doesn't like water?

No dog is forced into the water. Swimming is introduced at their pace, and plenty of dogs still get full days of hikes and outings instead.

How is my dog transported between outings?

Dogs travel in secured crates in a climate-controlled vehicle between the facility and each outing location.

Will I get updates during the stay?

Yes, expect photo and video updates from outings throughout the stay, plus a full debrief session at pickup.

Ready for a different kind of training?

Spots are limited to keep groups small. Reach out to check availability for your dog.
