Neuman K-9 Academy’s dog and puppy boot camp provides the foundation needed for dogs and puppies living in an urban city like Minneapolis or St. Paul.
Get Started
Graduates from our course experience a lifetime of fun by going more places and participating in more activities with the family from the life skills they learn during boot camp.
First, we teach dogs essential skills to navigate real-world situations safely and confidently. Through our structured training, your dog will learn to:
Training is reinforced with hundreds of repetitive exercises, a relationship-based reward system (not based on bribery with food), proofing and generalization of commands for reliable responses, and off-site field trips (12-week advanced course) into high-traffic urban areas, simulating the real-world environment in Minneapolis.
We all know what Minnesota winters are like, and it sometimes is difficult to get outside for those long walks a dog wants or needs. This is why we include treadmill training in the 8-week and 12-week course options. Forecast calling for 30-below-zero temperatures? No problem.
Treadmill training lets your dog:
The second part of the process is training for the human part of the equation. We understand that importance of the relationship between dog and their handler, and this relationship is exclusive. We have a comprehensive handler training course for the humans to ensure the skills and commands learned during camp will transfer over to the owner/handler.
We are only a 30-minute drive away from Minneapolis!

Boji / Labrador Retriever
We brought our year-old lab to Neuman K-9 Academy in September for an 8-week stay at boot camp. The transformation was incredible! The whole process made us feel as though Boji were in the best possible hands while he was gone. The good care started within minutes of me sending in Boji's questionnaire before he even went to camp! There was resource guarding issue that I mentioned that prompted Josiah call my husband and me to start working on immediately with common sense guidance.
The weekly updates with photos not only made us confident that he was learning things we could have NEVER taught him, but also made us feel that he was being very well cared for. His graduation video was more than we could have hoped for. Amazing! Kudos to Josiah, Summer, Joe and the whole team. They really know their stuff.
We will be boarding Boji at Neuman's from now on. It's worth the drive for the attention he'll get and the refresher training. Way to go, Neuman K-9 Academy! We are lucky to have you in the area!
We are locally owned and operated company, this is NOT a franchise program, we do not offer ‘fast-food’ two-week cookie-cutter crash courses. You cannot rush good results, and we have years of experience developing highly trained companion dogs through a curriculum unlike any other. If you live in Minneapolis, St. Paul, or the twin-cities metropolitan area and want to give your dog a better life, take the next step to get started, and enroll now.
