Puppy Day School
Our renowned Puppy Day School is our signature program and is like nothing found anywhere else.
This program is an exceptional, comprehensive private school, created to take advantage of a puppy’s most crucial imprinting and learning period.
Puppy Day School is an all day, drop off training program developed for puppies from 8 weeks to 6 months old. Puppies spend the entire day with our highly trained, certified puppy experts, learning, socializing, and playing. This is not a doggy daycare, but rather, a very structured environment with custom curriculums created especially for puppies. Our Puppy Day School is recommended by veterinarians across Houston and is established as a clean, safe, and reliable experience for all puppies.
Our Puppy Day School program is very popular and space is extremely limited. The program is training intensive and we keep a very small ratio of 5 puppies per trainer! If you are interested in a package, we recommend scheduling your private lesson before your puppy comes home. If you already have your puppy and interested in a package, please do not delay!
Puppy Day School is offered:
Monday - Friday
DROP OFF BETWEEN 7:30-9:00 AM
PICK UP BETWEEN 4:00-6:00 PM (Late fees are incurred after 6:10 PM)
At pick up time, owners are filled in on how their puppy performed that day, are given tips on what to work in at home and receive a report card to keep track of their pup’s progress.
Our Puppy Programs are recommended by Houston’s most respected veterinarians and our state-of the art Canine Training and Enrichment Center was carefully designed with your puppy’s health and safety in mind.

Prerequisite & Requirements for Packages
In order to purchase a 10 or 20 day package, puppies must be 4 months or younger at the time of booking to ensure that they finish by the time they are 6 months old. If your puppy is over 4 months old, you must purchase a 3 or 5 day package.
Puppies with packages should attend Day School at least 2 or 3 times per week.
Puppies may not attend on consecutive days. This allows them a much-needed day of rest before training with us again.
Crate Familiarity: All puppies must have begun crate training at home prior to their first day of Puppy Day School. They must be able to settle and be calm in a crate, as puppies need lots of rest in between training and activities. At this stage of development, it is imperative that all of your puppy’s experiences be positive. If your puppy cannot be calmed down in the crate, we will suspend your Puppy Day School sessions and apply credit towards private lessons, group classes, or puppy socials.
