Day Train

“My dog needs work with leash pulling and jumping, but we work such a busy schedule.”

They established the basics with their dog at home, but knew he needed more. They had the hardest time getting his attention once distractions were presented.

They thought about sending him for bootcamp, but their youngest child was so upset at the thought of his buddy not being there at bedtime, and they just didn't want to be without him for several weeks.

So they decided day train was the best option to get a jump start on his training program, without sending him away to bootcamp.

“My dog is struggling with stress and anxiety. This sometimes leads to aggression and reactivity, and other times leads to destruction of things in my home. I don’t think he will do well in bootcamp, but I know he needs more than what I can give him.”

This dog is the perfect candidate for our Day Train program.

The family needs a lot of help, but being away from home for several weeks may not give the dog the opportunity he needs to decompress.

They moved forward with the Day Train program to have an accelerated approach to training while staying involved in the process.

If you think your dog would benefit from day train, in addition to private lessons and group class, schedule your consultation to discuss options.

Puppy Day Camp

Puppy Day Camp Package

“I really need to take a puppy class but my schedule is difficult, he also needs a little more than I’m able to give him each week.”

They knew they needed puppy training, but their schedule just did not line up with our available puppy classes. Working busy schedules, juggling kids in the evening, sometimes it seemed like there just wasn't enough hours in the day. THey also felt their puppy needed something to do during the day that was more than just playing, but getting proper social interaction, as well as mental stimulation. So they decided to send him to puppy day camp a couple times each week, while learning all the things their puppy was learning at home in their own time remotely.

Our Puppy Day Camp Package is a program available to all puppy owners with puppies 6 months and under. This package includes a 6 week online puppy class, and once weekly puppy day camp for their puppy to get the work they need with an experienced trainer. Puppy day camp days are scheduled Wednesday or Thursday each week. Your puppy will be working on the criteria that coincides with the information you’re learning in the online puppy class.

Schedule your start date below today! Note: you will only select your start date below, the rest of your purchased days will be scheduled by your trainer shortly after booking your start date.

Puppy Day Camp (drop in)

“My puppy is making so much progress in puppy class, he just needs a little more than I’m able to give him each week.”

They were enrolled in our puppy program, learning so much each week, and diligent with applying all the things they learned. But working busy schedules, and juggling kids in the evening, sometimes it seemed like there just wasn't enough hours in the day.

Although they were making progress, they wanted just a little more. Something for their puppy to do during the day that was more than just playing, but getting proper social interaction, as well as mental stimulation.

So they decided to send him to puppy day camp once a week. It helped so much with training as well as proper social engagement.
