Happy-Go-Lucky Day Training School
We call it “school” because that’s what it is most like – a school…for dogs.
Just like the kids’ version, you drop your dog off (8-8:30am) and pick them up (2-2:30pm) for a day of learning. Dogs attend on Mondays/Wednesdays or Tuesdays/Thursdays and we are accepting just 10 dogs per day.
Our experienced trainers provide much more than care for your dog. We work on manners, obedience and socialization to help you boost your at-home training and raise a more well-mannered and relaxed Happy-Go-Lucky dog.
An ideal complement and reinforcement to what you’ve started in our group classes, each day’s curriculum includes a rotation of training such as:
- Appropriate, guided play with interruptions for name recognition, recall practice, sits and downs, and self control.
- One-on-one obedience tutoring, building and refining behaviors like stay, come, down, go-to-place, and leave-it.
- Neighborhood working walks, focusing on keeping a loose leash, waiting at doorways and curbs, and all the basics like sit, down and stay with outside distractions.
- Structured downtime, including puzzle work, relaxation and naps.
