Day School

Located at Puppy Love Pet Care Centre

Are you struggling to set up training sessions with your work schedule, or would you like us to train your dog for you? Dog Day school is the perfect option for you. This program is designed for you to drop off your dog in the morning and pick them up in the evening- no overnights required! We will work with them daily and focus the training on your dog’s needs.

Who is it for?

Those whose dog would benefit from a more intensive period of training sessions or for those who don’t have the availability for daytime sessions
