Day School
Focused training where your dog needs it most.
Day School is a trainer-led program designed to take your dog’s skills to the next level. Whether you’re working on everyday manners in public spaces or building foundations for AKC sports and titles, Day School offers structured, goal-oriented training that prepares your dog for success.
Your dog will work one-on-one with an experienced trainer throughout the day, with rest periods built in to support learning and physical recovery. It’s like sending your dog to school—except they actually enjoy it.
