DAY Training

regular in home training for your dog while you’re away

Day training is a 4-week comprehensive program that is a great option for busy families or dogs with specific training challenges best addressed with expert attention. It is also helpful for active dogs that require extra enrichment opportunities. With a seasoned handler, your dog or puppy will learn and generalize cues more quickly. During weekly transfer sessions, we will give you the tools to maintain any behaviors we trained.

Plan for effective day training in this one-hour orientation.

Please note:

Day training can enhance what your dog learns in group classes by increasing their fluency and understanding of key cues and behaviors. We still recommend working with your dog around distractions such as those in group classes, but day training can give your dog’s behavior a boost! During day visits, we can improve polite greetings and door behavior, loose leash walking, coming when called, focus, impulse control, and almost anything else you can think of!

Day training is NOT for dogs with severe aggression or bite history. Private lessons are required to address these issues.
