Welcome to Kindergarten!

Why Start Now?

Foundational Obedience: Beginning the basics of obedience young sets up a solid foundation for obedience that you can build on as your dog matures and grows into more advanced training! Our Kindergarten program is set up to be a fun, positive learning environment for your puppy. Positive re-enforcement, repetition, practice and making training time fun are all a part of teaching your puppy to love training!

Socialization: If your goal is to have a confident adult dog that you can trust to be comfortable in new situations with new people or dogs - Puppy Kindergarten can be your first stepping stone! Puppy Playgroups are structured and supervised by daycare attendants that are trained in canine body language and play, to ensure that your puppy is having a positive socialization experience from the start.

Preventing Separation Anxiety: Our Kindergarten Program is a drop-off program. Your puppy spends full days with us, three days a week. Our goal in this is to provide a space they are comfortable in if you ever need daily or overnight care, as well as having them build confidence away from you. Practicing separation (while having fun!) from you can help prevent separation anxiety in the future!

It’s About the Relationship: Our award winning training team is not only here to teach and train your puppy - we are here to support you! Through communication, homework and ongoing support our aim is to teach you how to engage and build your relationship with your best friend through practice, play and fun!

How do the Humans Learn?

Our Kindergarten Program is structured to have our award winning trainers do all of the teaching and training for you - so you get to do the fun part of practice at home!

Through homework and communication from your trainer, pet parents receive direction on what their puppy has learned and how to follow up and practice at home!
