Dog Days ~Day School~

For Puppies between 4-6 months of age.

Day School for puppies is a great way to combine training with daycare for the ultimate puppy learning experience. Your puppy will receive 3 training sessions per day working on basic obedience skills that will benefit them at home and when out in the Dubuque Community. In addition to training time, they will get to participate in daycare playtime and activities where they learn how to properly play and coexist with other dogs. We guarantee they go home tired! Plenty of rest periods will be given during the day to teach your puppy to not only tolerate being kenneled, but also how to just chill and relax with their humans.

Day School will be held every Mondays & Wednesdays or Tuesdays & Thursdays, with and optional 1/2 day Friday. All puppies will need to be dropped off by 9am and can be picked up any time after 4:30pm. (note our hours are Monday-Thursday 6:45am-5:30pm and Friday 7am-1pm)
