Puppy Day School
Not all Puppy Schools Are Created Equal!
Our Renowned Puppy Day School Offers The Ultimate puppy Training Experience
As Houston’s original puppy experts, our signature program is our Puppy Day School (PDS) program, and it is like nothing found anywhere else. PDS is comprehensive and specialized, specifically created to take advantage of a puppy’s most crucial imprinting and learning period. This is not a doggy daycare, but rather, a very structured environment with custom curriculums created especially for puppies.
Our Zen-like Training and Enrichment Center was lovingly designed and created with puppy safety and training in mind. We have plenty of indoor, temperature-controlled space for PDS and classes, as well as several, fully fenced in, fun outdoor spaces for playing and training.
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.
Our Puppy Day School is recommended by veterinarians across Houston and is established as a clean, safe, and reliable experience for all puppies.
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)
Puppy Day School 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 are interested in a package, please do not delay!
Our Puppy Programs are designed to work together. Puppy Day School is intended to support the training you’re doing in group class and at home. We highly encourage everyone to enroll in our Puppy Class Part One group class in addition to Puppy Day School. There is so much for you to learn and we believe that teaching people how to train their own dogs is of the utmost importance. Puppyhood does not last long enough and the clock is ticking!
Day School provides your young dog with much needed structured socialization, play, and rest time. in addition to group activities and training, puppies also receive one-on-one training sessions, multiple times a day with a puppy-expert trainer. Individual training is catered to each individual puppy’s needs.
The Daily Curriculum Includes:
Foundation Skill Building
Confidence Building
Exposure to Novel Stimuli
Basic Manners
Socialization & Play
Real Life Training Scenarios
Relaxation Time
Self-Control Instruction
Potty Training Maintenance
Crate Training Maintenance
Bite Inhibition
Enrichment Activities
Problem Solving Puzzles
Nosework Games
At pick up time, parents are given a brief update on how their puppy performed that day, as well as a daily report card to keep track of their pup’s progress. However, the best way to learn all about your puppy and to keep up with what they are learning in PDS, is to enroll in Puppy Class Part One, and take advantage of the plethora of information on our Training Blueprints page.

Prerequisite & Requirements for Packages
When purchasing your package, please ensure that they finish by the time they are 6 months old.
Puppies with packages should attend Day School at least once per week, but ideally two to three 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 discuss a training plan with you to help them settle.
Details:
For puppies 8 weeks to 6 months old.
Puppies should have had at least two rounds of vaccines and a negative fecal test.
Puppies from shelters or rescue organizations must have been in the owner’s possession for at least 2 weeks.
Puppies must have been examined by a local veterinarian and received at least one round of vaccines from the same clinic.
