If you’re searching for a proven and reliable way to transform your dog’s behavior, obedience, and focus, Neuman K-9 Academy offers one of the best dog training boot camps in the country. Our program combines professional training, a structured daily routine, and a home-like environment designed to bring out the best in your dog.
Why Choose Neuman K-9 Academy’s Dog Boot Camps
At Neuman K-9 Academy, our philosophy is simple: create a comfortable, structured, and stimulating learning environment that allows dogs to thrive. Here’s what makes our boot camp the gold standard for dog training in Minnesota.
Here are the 10 key benefits that make our dog training boot camps deliver exceptional results for both dogs and their owners.
1. Home-Like Environment
Dogs learn best when they feel safe and relaxed. That’s why we house every dog in a comfortable lower-level living area instead of a cold kennel or barn. The room where they sleep has in-floor heat, ERV air exchange unit for constant fresh air, a commercial medical grade air purifier that cycles 600 cubic feet of air per minute, and a concrete block/brick exterior in case of a tornado.
2. Consistent Training Everyday
At our academy, training happens every day of the week. Our trainers work with dogs 7 days a week, from the beginning of camp till graduation 7:00 AM till 9:30 PM. This daily consistency helps dogs quickly learn and retain new skills that last well beyond graduation.
Each day includes obedience sessions, real-life distraction drills, and playtime designed to reinforce focus and confidence. This immersive schedule accelerates progress and helps dogs retain what they’ve learned long after boot camp ends!
3. Huge Outdoor Play Area
The outdoor play area is 10,000 square feet and was designed and installed by a professional landscaping company (Suburban Services in Woodbury, MN). Your dog is safely confined by a professionally installed 6’ black vinyl chain link fence, surrounded by a forest like setting. This play area is fully irrigated which makes it easy to sanitize.
4.Climate-Controlled Indoor Training Center
On campus, we have 3,000 square feet of indoor climate controlled training and play space; designed specifically for the comfort and safety of your dog. This indoor training space has been featured in an internationally printed dog training magazine.
5. Multiple Trainers for Balanced Socialization
We have multiple trainers on staff; both male and female trainers handling your dog means your dog will learn to respond to more than one person.
This exposure helps your dog adapt to various handling styles, tones of voice, and personalities. The result is a dog that listens reliably, regardless of who’s giving the command. This type of social balance builds confidence and reduces anxiety in public situations.
6. Boot Camps Exclusively
We believe in offering the best possible boot camp on the planet; therefore we focus exclusively on boot camp for dogs and puppies. We choose NOT to offer classes, doggie day care, protection training, hunting dog training, rally, agility, or other forms of training. This is what has enabled us to master the best possible boot camp for your family/companion dog.
7. Full Time Professional Trainers
Trainers at our Academy are full time career oriented dog trainers. We bring years of experience, advanced certifications, and a deep passion for helping dogs reach their full potential. Our expertise and consistency are what set our program apart from typical dog trainers or hobby-based services.
8. Proprietary Training Process
Our training process is proprietary and unlike anything you will find on the internet, YouTube, in a book, or in a class. It is something we have developed through years of training dogs, hands on experience, and coaching owners. Our clients frequently comment that the instruction they receive is unique and unlike anything they have learned previously.
9. Weekly Updates With Pictures
Owners receive detailed weekly progress reports with professional photos that highlight their dog’s milestones. You’ll be able to see their improvements, understand what they’re learning, and feel confident that your dog is in excellent hands.
10. Video Proof of Every Graduate
We prove that each and every dog has been trained to our high standard by producing a graduation video which is published to YouTube. We proudly exhibit every single dog that has graduated from our Academy which we invite you to view here:

“Neuman K9 Academy is the most exceptional training service available! If you want a dog companion that is calm, obedient and trustworthy there is no better place to send them. Our pup went at 4 months and 9 months and is now the type of dog we dreamed he would be. Truly- this is the best investment in your pet you could ever make! “ – Jennifer E.
“Following training, I now have a different dog! I can take her out in public. We walk off leash and she can run.
Owners and dog are a whole lot happier.” Tina & Brett S.
“Very happy with your training; cost is a consideration, but also a commitment to the how you want to raise your dog. I answered Don't Know to competitors' price, because it is difficult to compare your services to others - no comparison.” – Kathryn S.
“I recommend you all the time to people who can't believe how well behaved Cooper is with the obedience, other dogs, and people.” – Judith L.
“We appreciate the ability to have our dog board there after she was trained. We know she will be well cared for and love the fact she is able to get refresher training while there. Her 8 weeks of training was the best decision we made. She is so much better behaved and much easier to control. We are extremely satisfied with our services from the Neuman K-9 Academy.” – Nancy S.
“I have really appreciated the personalized service. I recently recommended you all to an acquaintance” – Elise C.
Our young Winton is a very well behaved k-9 - now. The older Golden will now go outside to play with him & she enjoys it. Winton is now in FL and has been so great on the leash; sits when we stop and doesn't try to lunge at other dogs, even though I can feel all of muscle quivering. He still acts like a puppy, but much better behavior. Thank you Josiah, Summer and gang. Truly enjoying him! – Donna W.
“Couldn't have sent our two Short Jack Russel terriers to a better facility. Staff was EXTREMELY professional and caring! Would recommend them to everyone!”- James & Penny C.
“Great training for my dog Rusty. Couldn't be happier with the results!” – Scott B.
“We were very impressed with the overall training facility. Very professional, clean and liked the progress reports given each week.” – Scott H.
