Train and Play
Learn, Play, Thrive
Train and Play is a day training program offered for puppies and dogs older than 16 weeks. The program is intended for dogs who enjoy the company of other dogs or puppies who need playmates to help them develop socially. Through our train and play program, your dog will get to play off leash with other dogs and then train with one of our trainers in different environments. The program is designed to help dogs enter or our off leash program. We'll work with your dog during the day to build healthy social skills, confidence in city environments and useful life skills like loose leash walking and coming when called. The program includes private dog training lessons so you can keep up with your dog's progress and learn how to maintain these skills at home.
