Day Train Programs
Please read the descriptions of the programs below. Some are by age and others behavior. These programs are to help your dog become successful. In our combined 25 years of training dogs we have custom created programs to help dogs and owners flourish.
For all programs: Drop-off window - 7:00 am - 9:00 am Pick-up window - 4:00 - 5:30 pm
Training Environment - Days are spent on leash walks, one-on-one training, group training, monitored off-leash play and crated nap time. Your dog will spend multiple sessions doing each activity thought out the day. We have a separate calm crating area. Crate time gives the dogs time to rest between activities, as well as ensuring that the trainer is able to focus on each dog individually during their training sessions.
Trainer to dog ratio - Our daily numbers are between 12 - 18 dogs and 4 - 6 trainers. Allowing us plenty of hands on deck!
Exercise and Socialization - While the main focus of our programs is obedience work, not play time we do give dogs the opportunity to socialize several times a day.
Days - Day Trains are offered Monday - Thursday. Major holidays we are closed and will schedule make-up days at booking.
Full Payment is due for booking.

The 1 hour group class is a Sunday after training finishes at 4 pm, the exact date is listed with the start date.
Puppies must be between 9 weeks and 15 weeks at the start of training. If your puppy is close to 4 months old he or she might be more appropriate for our Teenage Life Skills Program (scroll down). The Puppy Explorers is a motivational program and does not have the emphasis on impulse control that our Teenage Life Skills program does.
This a Foundations program meaning our goals are to build confident, well socialized puppies, with good manners that love to learn. With these pups we are working on luring new positions (sit, down and heel), building confidence walking on leash, desensitizing basic handling (nails & brushing), socializing with other dogs and continuing the crate and house training you are doing at home! There is no emphasis on loose leash walking. We will send you material about common puppy concerns and can trouble shoot problems at home during our mini weekly sessions. We strongly recommend puppies attend training in a back clip harness.
