Puppy Pre-school
What Makes Our Puppy Pre-school Different
Building Confident, Well-Mannered Puppies During Their Most Important Developmental Stage
The first few months of your puppy's life are a critical time for learning, confidence, and social development. The experiences your puppy has during this period can influence how they respond to the world for years to come.
Puppy Preschool is a structured 10-week developmental program designed to give puppies a strong foundation through positive social experiences, early manners training, confidence building, and supervised interactions in a safe, controlled environment.
This is not traditional daycare. Our program is intentionally designed around your puppy's developmental needs, combining learning, play, enrichment, and rest to help puppies grow into happy, confident companions.
Program Details
Puppies enroll at approximately 10 weeks of age and attend one session every Wednesday until they are approximately 5 months old.
Each puppy participates alongside the same small group of puppy friends throughout the program, allowing them to build confidence, practice appropriate social skills, and develop positive relationships over time.
With a maximum of 4 puppies per session, every puppy receives individualized attention and carefully supervised interactions
Give Your Puppy the Best Possible Start
The puppy stage goes by quickly, and the habits built during these early months can last a lifetime.
Puppy Preschool provides the structure, guidance, and positive experiences puppies need to become confident, adaptable, and well-mannered companions.
Who Can Attend?
Puppy Preschool is designed for:
Puppies approximately 10 weeks to 5 months old
All breeds and sizes welcome
Puppies who are current on age-appropriate vaccinations
What Your Puppy Will Experience
Each three-hour session includes a carefully balanced combination of:

Safe play with puppies of similar age and size
Interactions with calm, well-mannered, puppy-safe adult dogs

Rest & Enrichment
Puppies need more than play to develop healthy habits. Sessions include:
Structured downtime and naps

Our goal is not simply to tire your puppy out. Our goal is to help your puppy learn how to confidently navigate the world.
Personalized Puppy Report Cards
After every Wednesday session, you will receive a personalized Puppy Report Card sharing your puppy's progress.
Report cards include:
Skills practiced during the session
New experiences and socialization opportunities
Training progress

This keeps you involved in your puppy's development and helps you continue building on their success between sessions.

Graduation Into K9 Adventure Camp

At 6 months old, Puppy Preschool graduates may transition into our K9 Adventure Camp Daycamp, where they can continue building confidence, practicing social skills, and enjoying adventures with familiar friends.
Because graduates are already familiar with our routines, environment, and training approach, the transition into Daycamp is smoother and more comfortable.
