PUPPY DAY SCHOOL
Let's bring out the best in every puppy!
Welcoming a puppy into your life can bring immense joy, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. At the end of a busy day it can feel like your puppy is adding more "chores" to your plate, even if your love for your puppy is undeniable. The demands for walks, playtime, and training can seem never-ending, along with the challenges of barking, biting, and mischievous behavior.
Imagine instead, returning home to a puppy that is physically and mentally content, ready to simply enjoy dinner and relax on the couch. That's the aim of Puppy Day School.
Give your puppy the best possible start with a balanced day of training, socialization, enrichment, and rest—all guided by experienced professionals.
What will my puppy learn at school?
We build confident, well-mannered dogs through a thoughtfully structured curriculum where your puppy spends the day playing, socializing, and learning. Alongside dedicated one-on-one training sessions, lessons are seamlessly woven into every part of the day—so your puppy is learning all the time, not just during formal training.
The training focus varies by individual puppy. Less confident puppies learn to be brave and self-assured, while wild puppies learn to master manners skills and self-control. That said, all puppies work on foundation skills and confidence-building:
Training focus:
-
Confidence around dogs, people, and new environments
-
Polite greetings
-
Reduce mouthing/biting
-
Trading games to prevent resource guarding
-
Quiet crate behavior
-
Support for successful housetraining
As puppies are ready for more challenges skills may include:
-
Sit, down, and stay
-
Reliable recall
-
Loose-leash walking
-
Retrieve

Program Investment
4-week introductory program (8 sessions):
-
$600 for full-day enrollment
-
$350 for half-day enrollment
Once a puppy has completed at least two months of school, they are eligible for once a week school, or drop in school days.
After that, you can continue your puppy’s progress with ongoing packages.
What puppies are eligible?
In order to provide the best experience for our puppies, we only accept dogs up to 5 months at their initial enrollment.
Once enrolled in school, dogs may continue with the program for as long as they wish (we have some "puppies" who are in their double digits) so long as they start before 5 months old. These adults often act as great mentors and role models for our younger puppies and have a blast learning, playing, and socializing with their human and dog friends.
Ready to enroll? The first step is to schedule an online puppy evaluation. This helps us make sure the program is the perfect fit—and gives us a chance to learn more about your goals for your puppy.
