DAY ACADEMY

Mon-Thurs, 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM

Designed for busy dog owners, our Day Academy program provides a comprehensive training solution that gives your dog the attention, structure, and professional guidance they need to thrive. While you go about your day, we work with your dog throughout the week to build their skill sets, improve their behavior, and create a solid foundation for long term success.

Our program focuses on mastering essential commands such as on and off-leash recall, sit, down, stay, and place. We address every aspect of control, ensuring your dog is not only manageable but also fun to be around, even in the most distracting environments. Many behavioral challenges arise from confusion and a lack of clear guidance—we’re here to lead your dog toward a more balanced and confident life with you.

Our approach emphasizes building self-control, navigating social interactions, and fostering confidence in your dog, all while promoting a healthy, productive relationship. Throughout the program, you’ll receive end-of-week recap sessions—upon completion of the program, you’ll receive a private one-on-one session with our trainers to refine the skills and techniques necessary for effective communication and management, ensuring lasting results.
