Perfect Puppy Play and Train Day Camp
New Puppy? No time to train or socialize? If your puppy is 8 weeks to 4 months old then this might be the answer to help both you and your pup! Puppies must have at least 2 Distemper/Parvo vaccinations before beginning daycare. Updated vaccinations are required as they are received. Proof of rabies vaccine is needed for puppies over 12 weeks of age.
Please see the guidelines for the AVSAB American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior.
Our trainers will then work with your puppy on training, socialization, and enrichment through games teaching them to focus building the foundation for a confident dog when faced with real world situations. We will work with your puppy on how to disengage from environmental stimuli and distractions and focus on you!
Days and Hours – daycare and play and train are open Monday – Friday from 6:30 AM until 5:30 PM. We can make special arrangements if necessary but must know in advance as we have classes that begin by 6:00 PM. All dogs MUST be dropped off at the facility by 9:00 AM. ***Please note that you will need to pick up your puppy by 4: 30 PM on Friday.*** They will also have nap time and learn how to relax. Training will be centered on basic commands such as sit, down, recall, how to stop the jumping, walking nicely on a leash, and crate and potty training. Playtime and enrichment will focus on socialization and bite inhibition.
At the end of each day, you will receive a report card and homework assignment which the trainer will review with you.
We require a half day test trial for your puppy in order to ensure they are having an enjoyable experience before signing up for a package. Sign up now.
How does Puppy Play and Train Day Camp Work?
Your puppy will be checked in and settled in a crate while the other puppies are being checked in. The trainers will then begin to get the dogs ready for their sessions. They will be taken out to potty and then begin their training which will be numerous short sessions throughout the day giving them time to rest in between training sessions. They will also have supervised playtime with other puppies attending Play and Train Day Camp ensuring play is structured and that each puppy is not overstimulated.
