Puppy Day School
During the day, your puppy or small dog will enjoy their own dedicated outdoor and indoor spaces. Our fenced-in yards are perfect for outdoor play, while our climate-controlled indoor areas provide a safe space on days with less-than-ideal weather. Both areas offer ample potty breaks to maintain good house manners.
Puppy day school focuses on actively learning manners, crate training, and socialization to novel sights, sounds, and experiences like grooming. Puppy day school is great for puppies who love interacting with other dogs and people!
Our Fear Free certified puppy school trainers use positive reinforcement principles to ensure safety, maintain good behaviors, and maximize fun!
Because we believe a tired dog is just that a tired dog we do not recommend puppies attend daycare more than 3 days a week. An over-tired puppy is the opposite of happy! Puppy day school will run Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday from 7 am-2 pm (extended pick up hours available)
