Limited information
How clearly this listing publishes the details owners need. See our methodology.
Based on what the business publishes about itself
Camp Lucky was founded in 2020 by Aaron Rustici, a military veteran who spent 12 years working as an Air Force K9 handler before moving into civilian dog training. According to their website, the business describes itself as veteran-owned and states it can work with dogs regardless of breed, age, or behavioral history.
The San Antonio program centers on board and train options ranging from one to four weeks. Their materials explain that dogs stay in a trainer's personal home rather than a commercial kennel, which they say allows practice with everyday household situations like door behavior, mealtimes, and crate routines. The shorter programs focus on foundational obedience and manners, while the three and four-week versions address more complex issues including reactivity and aggression. The two-week program reportedly includes lifetime refresher training. They also use the ET300 e-collar as part of their training tools, describing their overall approach as balanced, combining positive reinforcement with correction-based methods.
Their site distinguishes between true aggression and what they call frustration-driven reactivity from leash restraint, and says they address both through graduated real-world exposure. They also mention working with rescue dogs dealing with trauma-related behaviors like shutdown responses. At the conclusion of each program, owners receive instruction on maintaining the training at home.
Camp Lucky Board and Train offers tiered board-and-train stays from 1 to 4 weeks. The shortest focuses on basic obedience, while the 2-week tier adds advanced obedience, off-leash recall, and a refresher session. Longer stays at 3 and 4 weeks address aggression, leash reactivity, and socialization alongside advanced skills. Puppy training is also available as private lessons.
