Play +
Train
Our training philosophy prioritizes understanding and addressing your dog's state of mind over simply teaching rehearsed behaviors. Our goal is to cultivate a joyful, respectful, and well-balanced canine companion, emphasizing long-term well-being over short-lived obedience. Our Play and Train Program requires a standing reservation a minimum of two days a week.
What to expect
During your dog’s full day of daycare they will participate in a 30-minute training session. As your dog successfully accomplishes the criteria for each level, they proudly graduate and seamlessly progress to the next stage of their training journey.
The duration for mastering the skills needed for advancement varies from dog to dog, with some taking a few weeks and others progressing more swiftly. Every dog, regardless of their current abilities, embarks on their training at Level One and gradually ascends through the program, which consists of a total of 12 levels. Our approach is tailored to be a personalized journey rather than a rigid pass/fail system. This flexibility ensures that you can renew your Play + Train package as often as desired, allowing you to customize the program according to both you and your dog's unique needs.
Progress Reports
Customized Report Cards featuring at-home practice instructions go home and video updates showing off your dog’s new skills. All access pass to our team via phone, text, or email to answer any training questions.
Stay connected with your dog's progress 2x’s a week.
