What is Day Training?
Day Training is our most comprehensive and immersive training program. Designed as a focused two-week experience, it delivers the intensity of a Board & Train while allowing your dog to maintain the stability of their home routine. Your dog will spend their days working directly with our training team and return home each evening, preserving consistency while allowing you to see real results.
Training should feel engaging, not overwhelming. Our goal is not simply to teach your dog what to do, but to help them understand how to learn. In Day Training, we create structure while nurturing resilience, allowing space for mistakes and supporting dogs through challenges with patience and encouragement.
For families looking to see significant progress in a short period of time, Day Training offers our most intensive and effective path to real results. For families looking to continue training, the skills and confidence built here will carry forward into Play & Train, One-on-One sessions, and Group Classes, helping your dog become even more advanced.

We focus on thoughtful responses instead of overexcitement, helping dogs learn how to settle, listen, and make good choices in everyday situations. Door manners and place work provide safety and structure within the home.
Dogs in this program are eligible to take the Canine Good Citizen test upon completion.
