  • Our DaySchool is a drop-off program that is perfect for dogs who may not be suited for traditional daycare settings, as we provide individualized attention and training to address any behavioral or socialization issues they may have. Perfect for owners who may have a busy schedule, or can’t dedicate the time needed for training.

    In addition to training and playtime, we also provide plenty of mental stimulation through puzzles and activities, to keep your pup engaged and mentally stimulated during their stay. We offer regular pack walks, to help your dog socialize and interact with other dogs, while under the supervision of our experienced trainers.

    At the end of each “School Day,” you will receive a report card detailing your dog’s progress and what they worked on that day, as well as, offer ongoing support and advice to help you reinforce your dog’s training at home.

    Monday - Thursday | 12 pm - 2 pm.
