While we provide the vital potty breaks your dog needs, the primary focus is intentional development. Every visit includes twenty minutes of structured play and training reinforcement to ensure that midday breaks are as mentally stimulating as they are physically relieving.
Consistency between the trainer and the owner is the ultimate luxury in dog training. For every five enrichment visits, we include one private coaching session to transfer the "wins" from our sessions directly to you, ensuring the training remains sharp and effective.
While this program is open to any dog requiring midday engagement, it is specifically curated for young puppies or newly adopted dogs, particularly those coming from a shelter environment.
