Is your dog struggling to focus on you when distractions hit?

Do you find yourself frustrated, wondering why your dog isn't responding to your commands the way you expect — despite your best efforts? Maybe you're tired of seeing your dog act out at the door, pull on walks, or struggle with meeting new people or dogs. It's exhausting, and you just want a solution that actually works.

What if your dog could learn how to focus in any environment?

What if you could see your dog walking calmly beside you, responding reliably to your cues, and confidently navigating real-world distractions?

Imagine taking your dog on a walk and not worrying about them pulling or lunging at passing cars or strangers. Picture them calmly sitting at the park, observing without reacting, or lying quietly at home when you need a break. What would that feel like?

That’s what we aim for in our 8-Week Personalized Dog Training Program — a program designed not just to address behavior problems, but to teach your dog how to learn and adapt to the world around them. We help you create a deeper connection with your dog and give them the tools they need to succeed in real-life situations.

A Day in the Life of a Day School Dog

Now, let's walk through a typical day for a dog in our Day School Training Program. Picture this:

  • Morning Pick-Up: Between 8 and 9 am, we come to your home to pick up your dog, ready to start a full day of learning. Your dog is excited, eager to engage, and knows this is a day of fun and progress.

  • Training in the Real World: The first part of the day is all about exposing your dog to the world outside — real-world training. Whether it’s navigating a busy park, walking through a pet-friendly store, or meeting new people in different environments, we help your dog learn how to behave calmly no matter what’s going on around them.

  • Socialization and Play: Your dog will interact with other dogs, learning how to greet politely, play appropriately, and stay focused in social settings. These interactions are guided by our trainers, ensuring that your dog becomes well-adjusted and comfortable in a variety of social situations.

  • Handed and Trained by Experts: Your dog isn't just learning from one trainer. They experience a diverse training approach with multiple trainers guiding them through different situations. This helps them become more adaptable and responsive to varying styles, making them a better listener overall.

  • Curriculum Focused on Learning: We don’t just teach commands. We teach your dog how to learn. Through focus exercises, impulse control training, and distraction work, we show your dog that learning doesn’t stop when the session ends — they can keep building on those skills in every moment of their day. This foundation sets them up for long-term success, both at home and in the world.

  • Field Trips and Real-Life Experiences: Each day is filled with exciting new experiences. Whether it’s a trip to the grocery store or a walk through a busy street, we take your dog to places where they can practice their training in real-life situations. These experiences provide the mental stimulation they need and the opportunity to improve their behavior in public spaces.

  • Afternoon Drop-Off: By the time we drop your dog off between 3 and 4 pm, they’ve had a full day of learning, socializing, and growing. You’ll notice positive changes in their behavior right away, and we provide daily progress reports so you can continue reinforcing the work at home.
