Puppy Kinder Day School
Day long puppy care and training
In home care to replicate your home to provide exposure to adult dogs, a cat, sights and smells of a real home. The week will include crate training/house training, settling in the home, car rides and socializing outings, visits from kids, and more. Great for working folks, the busy stay at home parent, or puppy owner newbies.
Puppy Boarding & Train
Overnight Care & Training
The first two weeks of a new puppy is the most stressful time for new puppy parents. We work on the routines that will create the foundation skills needed to start your life long path with your new family member. Unlike traditional board and train options, we encourage visits to continue the bonding and learning process with your new puppy.
Private Training
Training packages to teach you!
While all of our options will teach you how to train your dog, private training if for people who want to dig in and learn the skills and techniques to train their own puppy or dog. These sessions will provide examples and techniques that will work best for you. You will learn the skill and be able to practice on your own in between lessons. These packages can be purchased separately or in conjunction with any of our services.
