Puppy School
Puppy School is exactly that - school for puppies! Puppy School is ideal for those who want to take a little of the heavy lifting of raising a puppy off their plate, but aren't able to commit to sending their pup away for a few weeks.
How it Works
Puppy School is designed for our young puppies to get the most ideal start in the world. A day at puppy school includes
-
Play time with dog friends
-
Time spent practicing manners around a toddler
-
Practicing manners around a cat
-
Focused training sessions working on basic obedience and life skills
-
Daily socialization field trips
-
Nap and enrichment times
-
Time spent practicing settling in a normal household
Like our Board & Trains, Puppy School is held in our trainers home, which aides in transferring the training smoothly back into your home.
Your trainer will pick your puppy up from your home between 8:30 and 9:30 in the morning, and drop them off for you between 3:30 and 4:30 in the afternoon. You will get home at the end of the day to a tired, socialized and trained puppy and get to just enjoy all the snuggles.
All Puppy School programs start with a virtual consultation where you will discuss your goals and develop a plan for the duration of your program with your trainer. You will also discuss pick up and drop off in that consultation. If you are outside of a certain area you may need to arrange to meet your trainer, or drop the pup off at their home.
​
Puppy School takes place once a week on Wednesdays and all programs include transfer lessons at your home every other week (Tuesday or Friday evening), plus one follow up lesson two weeks after the completion of your program.

It is important to remember that any training without you is a jump start. There will still be work to do when your pup is home with you to reinforce the training and make sure that everything transfers. The transfer sessions with the family are crucial to the success of your Puppy School program. If you are concerned about the transfer process, make sure to let us know and we can help you come up with additional plans to make it as smooth as possible.
The Booking Process
The first step, of course, is to reach out to us and see if we are available! We only take one puppy for school at a time so it does get full fast.
​
Once you have selected your start date payment will be due for the program to secure your spot. That payment should be made within 48 hours, or the dates will be opened up again.
​
Once your payment is made you will schedule your virtual consultation with your trainer to outline goals and set a training plan for your pup. During the virtual consultation we will go over arrangements for pick up and drop off, and show you around your trainers home!
