How’s It Work & What’s Included?
Every Puppy Day School program begins with a personalized evaluation.
You’ll sit down with one of our certified trainers to talk through how life with your puppy is going so far. We’ll review your puppy’s daily routine and discuss common early challenges like potty training, crate training, nipping, chewing, and jumping up.
During the evaluation, you’ll receive practical guidance you can start using right away to make day-to-day life easier with your puppy. Everything you share helps us tailor your puppy’s training plan and prioritize the skills and behaviors we’ll focus on once Day School begins.
