Daycamp is a structured training day designed to build reliable skills, focus, and confidence through multiple guided sessions in real-world environments. Like sending your dog to school for the day, this program bridges the gap between in-home and board & train by providing consistent practice, professional guidance and meaningful progress to supplement and strengthen your dogs training with your dog still returning home each night.

Each Daycamp program is 4 weeks, and includes 1 private lesson weekly with owner and you are provided with the tools and equipment to continue training at home.

Two packages are available:

2 days per week for 4 weeks: Tues & Thurs $1300

or

3 days per week for 4 weeks: Mon, Wed & Fri $1740

Limited space. We pride ourselves on quality over quantity, and only take 3-4 training dogs daily.

Pre-scheduling is required.

This is only available to approved current clients and approved graduates, either currently attending training or have graduated.

Individual Daycamp days are available for heavier training sessions; teaching or proofing new skills, or specifically targeting problem areas.

We provide a structured environment with daily exercise, play, walks (weather permitting), and structured socialization where we work on polite, calm neutrality and occasionally interactions.

Unlike traditional daycares, we focus on reinforcing calm neutrality, polite manners, a calm state of mind, continued training support and behavior reinforcement rather than excited, play. Our Daycare is more like a day at a specialized summer camp where we focus on mastering skills and building confident, positive mundsets rather than a free-for-all day at an amusement park.

$50 per day

Did you know we have a Facebook page dedicated to our Daycamp and Daycare dogs?

Every day we post the dogs in our care, their training, adventures, cute pictures of videos as well as lesson updates. Here we show how each dog is handling their day at school for their family’s to follow along.

This is a new service, launching April 2026. Posting may take a while to pick up.
