PJH Dog Training's Day School Experience
First of all, don’t confuse Day School with Day Care. That, it is not! Instead, think of Day School as a three hours experience to do whatever you like while your pup is fully engaged in a range of activities.
At PJH Dog Training, our Day School programs for puppies and adolescents offer a comprehensive and enriching experience for your dog, focusing on behavior improvement and enrichment via multiple approaches.
Daily Activities Include:
Structured Training Sessions: Utilizing science-based, reward-driven, and force-free techniques, our certified trainers address specific behavioral goals tailored to your dog's needs.
Socialization Opportunities: Supervised interactions with other dogs to enhance social skills and reduce anxiety in various environments.
Physical Exercise: Engaging activities to promote physical health and mental stimulation (e.g., agility, nose work, object discrimination, trick learning) ensuring a well-rounded experience.
Rest Periods: Scheduled downtime to allow your dog to relax and process the day's learning, contributing to overall well-being. If over arousal is an issue, we teach them how to go from being aroused to feeling relaxed.
Our commitment to using proven, humane training methods ensures that your dog receives the highest standard of care and education during their time at PJH’s Day School.
Our Puppy Day School goes beyond standard daycare by providing a comprehensive learning and enrichment experience tailored to your dog’s unique developmental needs. These sessions focus on building a strong foundation for lifelong success, ensuring your dog not only grows into a well-mannered companion but also thrives emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Each session is designed with your dog’s growth in mind and includes essential obedience basics such as sit, stay, and recall. These foundational commands are taught through engaging, positive reinforcement techniques that make learning enjoyable and rewarding for your puppy or adolescent. To further nurture their curiosity and cognitive development, we incorporate enrichment activities that stimulate their growing minds and help them learn problem-solving skills. Day sessions are the perfect compliment to private training sessions with the added perk of social interactions and enrichment activities.
Puppies and adolescent dogs benefit from structured playtime, which provides a safe and supervised environment for them to explore and burn off energy. This is complemented by pack walks (for adolescents), which encourage healthy social interactions and reinforce leash manners. Guided socialization activities are a key component, helping your puppy or adolescent build confidence and learn appropriate behaviors when interacting with other dogs, people, and new environments.
Last but not least, we will fill you in on how your dog did that day with a report on his mood, interactions with other dogs, skills done well and those that need work. We’ll give you a homework assignment to help improve anything needed attention and training tips to help. We’ll also send a digital photo to you of your pup in action during the day!!!
Why PJH’s Day School and Not the One Down the Street?
We boast an incredible 3:1 dog to trainer ratio!
We provide a safe and moderated socialization time for your dog to learn social cues only other dogs can teach them.
Your dog won’t be squeezed into a corner or overlooked cowering in the back of the room.
Instead he’ll be interacting with other pups during an educational game, a pack walk, or anything from foundational commands to leash skills and manners to agility games.
Not only that, but we will work with your pup on whatever behavior you need.
Enrichment activities are taken seriously as they provide opportunities for less common sensory experiences to supercharge your pups motivation and happiness, relieving boredom and reducing maladaptive behaviors.
Your dog will likely be very sleepy after the end of his day school experience giving you some extra time to relax.
