A convenient option for many families, this is a 1:1 session between your dog and a care team member while your dog is at daycare. Parents are not in attendance.
We usually focus on basic training skills (i.e. Sit, Down, Wait, Stay, Leave It). We can also work on more advanced skills. You will discuss a training plan with our Certified Trainer prior to scheduling this training session.
