Day Training

Busy schedule? We’ve got your dog’s training covered.

You want a well-trained dog, but finding the time (and energy) to train your dog can be challenging. Our Drop-Off Day Training Program allows your dog to learn while you’re at work, enjoying retirement, or simply taking a well-deserved break.

Unlike traditional dog daycare, our program is built around training, and every visit is designed to strengthen obedience, improve manners, build confidence, and develop valuable life skills through positive, reward-based training. Your dog will just think it’s fun and games!

Day Training

Trying to take care of your dog while attending to your busy, modern-day schedule can be overwhelming – Let us help you!

Your dog can actively socialize, work on polite manners, and receive mental and physical enrichment while you are working, enjoying your retirement, or when you just need a break from your canine companion.

More Than Daycare

This isn’t daycare—it’s a structured training program.

Your dog will work with our professional trainers through purposeful training, enrichment, and structured socialization while reinforcing the skills you’re practicing at home. Every day is designed to build confidence, improve self-control, and create lasting results.

What Your Dog Will Experience

Every visit is tailored to your dog’s needs. Here’s a snapshot of a typical day:

  • One-on-one training with a professional trainer
  • Structured socialization with compatible dogs
  • Enrichment and problem-solving activities
  • Manners and obedience practice
  • Confidence-building exercises
  • Scheduled rest to support learning and recovery

Why Our Day Training Program Is Different

Our focus is quality over quantity.

We limit enrollment to just eight dogs per day, allowing each dog to receive individualized attention.

Play sessions are carefully supervised and intentionally structured. Dogs are thoughtfully matched based on size, play style, and temperament.

Every part of the day is designed to support learning—not simply provide supervision or exercise.

Your dog receives both mental and physical enrichment while making meaningful progress toward their training goals.

Is Day Training Right for Your Dog?

Our Day Training Program is ideal for dogs *4 months of age and older and serves as an excellent complement to private lessons or group classes. Regular attendance helps dogs retain skills, generalize behaviors, and continue making progress between training sessions.

To ensure every dog succeeds in our program, dogs should be able to rest comfortably in a crate when not actively training. Dogs who vocalize excessively or experience significant distress while crated may be better served through private training or one of our group classes.

 *We recommend half days for dogs under 6-months of age

Getting Started

Every new dog begins with a 30–60-minute assessment to ensure they’re a good fit for the program. If successful, we’ll schedule a trial full day or half day to evaluate how they handle training, enrichment, socialization, and rest.

After successfully completing the trial day, dogs may enroll in our structured Day Training Program:

Full Day

  • 3 days per week for 3 weeks
  • Drop-off: 8:00–9:00 a.m. | Pick-up: 5:00–5:30 p.m.

Cost: $1,170

Half Day

  • 3 half-days per week for 5 weeks
  • Morning: 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
  • Afternoon: 2:00–5:30 p.m.

Cost: $1,425

After completing the Day Training Program, you can continue your dog’s progress with additional programs, training bundles, or a day training subscription.

Three simple steps and your dog is in!

Assessment

All new dogs start with a 30–60-minute assessment to confirm they're a good fit for the program – happy dogs are eager learners!

Trial Day

Dogs who do well at the assessment move to a trial day, where we see how they handle training, settling, enrichment, socialization, and a rest period.

Day Training Program

Dogs who enjoy the trial day can enroll in our structured 3-week or 5-week Day Training Program (three days/week or five half days/week). Afterward, keep the momentum going with another program or one of our training bundles or a subscription.
