Our Puppy Socialization and Training Pre-School

Our pre-school includes training, socialization, and familiarization with everyday life—so your pup will experience:

  • Desensitization/reaction prevention to common sounds (such as hair dryers, thunder)
  • Introduction to various environments, textures, and sounds
  • Familiarization with grooming experiences with fieldtrips to our professional grooming spa*
  • Playtime and behavior modeling with our older daycare guests
  • Socialization and proper behavior with different people
  • Obedience commands and name recognition, recall, leave it, stay in place, wait
  • Intro to leash walking
  • Crate and potty training
  • Appropriate playing
  • Nipping prevention

*Grooming services can be added at any point during the program for an additional fee.

As longtime pup parents ourselves, we know what dogs most commonly react to, so we go above and beyond to ensure they experience a wide range of encounters—such as meeting new people wearing hats or carrying large toys. For additional one-on-one training, puppies can have our thirty-minute day-training added to any daycare or boarding stay, even while enrolled in our pre-school.
