BOOTCAMP BLUEPRINT
Better walks. A calmer home. Know where to start.
Bootcamp Blueprint: your online roadmap to our Board & Train method.
Learn with Yoni's step-by-step Bootcamp Blueprint. Try the foundations free for seven days and start practicing clearer boundaries and better leash skills with your dog.
7 days free, then $197 one time. Cancel before day 8 and you won't be charged.
Start with Meaningful Boundaries and Way of the Walk.
Good at home. A different dog outside?
- Pulling toward every smell, dog and person on the walk
- Rushing through the door before you can grab the collar
- Losing focus the moment you actually need them to listen
Your dog isn't bad, and you're not doing it wrong. Scattered tips just don't add up to a plan. Bootcamp Blueprint gives you one clear order to practice in, starting at home and on the leash.
What opens on day one
Both foundation phases unlock as soon as you start your free week.
Phase 1 · 10 lessons
Meaningful Boundaries
Threshold training at doors, poison proofing, rewarding with purpose and crate training done right.
Phase 2 · 16 lessons
Way of the Walk
The exploration walk, setting the pace, turn, bump and stop, and the farmers market walk.
How it works
1. Watch
Yoni demonstrates one exercise and explains why it matters.
2. Practice
Try it with your dog at home or on your next walk.
3. Revisit
Come back to any lesson whenever you need a refresher.
7 days free, then $197 one time. Cancel before day 8 and you won't be charged.
Everything in Bootcamp Blueprint is the same method we use with the dogs in our Board and Train programs, from the first focus drills to turn, bump and stop to a recall you can trust. The difference is who's holding the leash. Here it's you, at home, building those skills yourself with your own dog, one drill at a time.
Meet Yoni
Yoni founded Balancing Paws, a dog training company in Phoenix, AZ. In Bootcamp Blueprint he teaches through practical video demonstrations you can watch, try with your dog and revisit whenever you need to.
Understand what each exercise teaches
Every lesson explains the reason behind a drill before you pick up the leash, so you know what to do when something doesn't go to plan.
Build focus and clear communication
Focus comes first, and obedience is added on top of it, so your dog is actually paying attention when you ask.
Turn practice into everyday skills
Short drills like turn, bump and stop become the skills you use on real walks, at the door and out in public.
The complete roadmap
Four phases, 49 lessons. Puppy Blueprint and Pool Training also unlock after the one-time payment.
Meaningful Boundaries
Your home starts to feel calmer. You'll set meaningful boundaries at doors and thresholds and begin poison proofing, so your dog learns that an open door or a dropped snack isn't an invitation to grab and go.

Way of the Walk
The walk becomes something you both look forward to. You'll start with the exploration walk, build your turn, bump and stop drills (simple direction changes that teach your dog to follow your pace), then take those skills to the farmers market walk, all working toward what Yoni calls the freedom walk.

Bulletproof Obedience
Your dog's sit, down, place and recall start holding up away from the living room. You'll learn the mechanics first, then practice around cooperative and uncooperative distractions so obedience works in the places you actually go.

Reliable Recall
This is where you build toward a recall you can count on. You'll learn the remote training collar as a way to talk to your dog at a distance and find your dog's working level. From there, turn and tap and your obedience work get you ready for off-leash time in places where it's allowed and safe.

Is it right for you?
Bootcamp Blueprint is self-paced online training for owners. It is separate from Balancing Paws private lessons and our in-person programs.
The course includes training collar instruction, and Phase 4 covers remote training collar work. By then you've spent three phases building focus and leash skills, and you can slow down or repeat any lesson.
It's made for everyday struggles like pulling, rushing the door or ignoring you in public. If your dog shows serious aggression or deep fear, please work with a professional who can see your dog in person rather than relying on a video course alone.
Questions
What opens during the free week?
Phase 1, Meaningful Boundaries, and Phase 2, Way of the Walk, open right away. Phases 3 and 4, plus Puppy Blueprint and Pool Training, open after the one-time payment.
Is this the same as your Board & Train?
It's the same method, but in Board and Train our trainers work with your dog, and in Bootcamp Blueprint you learn it and build it yourself at home with your own dog.
Do I need a card for the free week?
Yes. A card is required to start, and nothing is charged today.
What happens on day 8?
Unless you cancel beforehand, your card is charged one automatic payment of $197 after seven full days. It is a one-time payment, not a subscription, and it never renews. After the payment succeeds, all four phases plus Puppy Blueprint and Pool Training unlock for 12 months.

The Useful Tools lessons in Phases 1 and 2 walk you through the gear before you use it: a regular leash, a retractable leash for the exploration walk and a training collar, including lessons on training collar safety features and sizing. Phase 4 teaches remote training collar work, including finding your dog's working level.
