Doggie Bootcamp and Beyond

I have had the idea of starting a Doggie Bootcamp in Brooklyn for some time.  The idea was to get people and their dogs to come out for a great workout!  I thought I would serve as the guide and lead an hour of fitness for dogs and their onwers.  I also thought I would offer this as a free training social so that dog and dog owners can meet our neighbors, socialize our doggies and enjoy the outdoors.

We introduced our Doggie Bootcamp in Sunset Park, Brooklyn and I learned some new things about myself and the Doggie Bootcamp. 

I had a great time with my new friends Katherine and Ladybug.  I really admire Katherine's love of ladybug and dogs in general as she came out to our first bootcamp sporting a cast on her leg after undergoing foot/ankle reconstructive surgery.  To see the both of them really made me happy and touched me. 

Since Katherine was limited by her cast, we spent nearly two hours together talking and sharing ideas.  I realized that Ladybug was very well trained and that I risked confusing Ladybug since Katherine had her own custom commands/signals that Ladybug knew by heart. 

But I discovered something about the Doggie Bootcamp.  I learned that the doggie bootcamp is a community service, that the spirit of the doggie bootcamp is to help dogs and their owners, on a personal and informal basis.  The doggie bootcamp is not just fitness and training, but a way to connect with individual people and dogs and I'm proud to be a part of it.

We hope to see you at the next bootcamp!!!
