Each training package includes a complimentary 30-minute mini-private session per 4 sessions of day training. These should be done every 3-4 weeks to help aid in your training progress. This session(s) are for the trainer to go over all the skills they have been working on with your dog during day training, to see you practice with your dog, and to answer any questions you may have. The session(s) are held at the training center.

Training Supplies Included in the above prices – front-connect harness, training clicker, treat apron, a sample of high-value treats, indoor training leash, training PDFs, and a virtual copy of our PAWS training manual.

If your dog cannot rest comfortably in a crate, playpen, or on a tether OR if you just prefer your dog not stay for a full day, we do offer a two hour drop off training program as well.

We create a two hour training appointment during our day training hours just for your dog. This offers the same amount of training time for your dog as our full day program. The training is done all in one session rather than being split up into smaller sessions over the course of the day.

• 4 sessions (2 hours each session) – $559
• 8 sessions (2 hours each session) –$1079
• 12 sessions (2 hours each session) – $1589
• 16 sessions (2 hours each session) – $2079

Packages can be upgraded if done before or at your last scheduled session.

We offer two different programs, but the most common options for day training are once or twice a week.

You drop your dog off with us in the morning and your dog will spend one-on-one time throughout the day with a professional trainer. If it is appropriate, there will be time to play with other dogs. If not, they will get toy play breaks with humans. The importance of day school is to give your dog a place to come learn and get a structured day, so too much play would be counterproductive. Dogs will get plenty of breaks that will require them to rest calmly in a crate, in a play pen, or on a training tether. This allows them time to process their learning and is very important for growing puppies. At the end of their training, you will pick up a tired dog, and receive a progress report with skills we worked on via email. Day training is NOT a replacement for the work you do at home with your dog but you will notice progress a lot faster, and behavior sticking better!

Your dog learns one-on-one from a professional trainer. We work on the age-appropriate skills and help build reinforcement history for important behaviors. We also help practice training cues (both verbal and hand signals) in different environments, inside and outside. This helps build a dog more fluent in training.

We will happily accommodate any age dog, but our programs are ideal for young puppies and adolescent dogs.

At this time cannot accept dogs with aggressiontowards people or dogs in this basic day training program. Dogs that are selective – or don’t want to play – but coexist just fine are more than welcome. 

We require the following for every dog starting day training:

1. An exam with your veterinarian within the last year.
2. At least one vaccination for distemper and parvo virus a minimum of 7 days prior to starting.
3. Kennel cough/Bordetella vaccination a minimum of 7 days prior to starting.
4. Results of a fecal test from your veterinarian’s office within the last 6 months.
5. Proof of rabies can be submitted once completed. Note: it is normal for puppies to start school without this vaccination on board. It usually is not given until around 16 weeks of age.
6. Staying up to date on their vaccination schedule as recommended by your veterinarian.

Proof must be provided via email to hello@pawstivelyobedient.com prior to your dog starting school.

Puppies in day training or group classes may not have received all of their vaccinations yet. If you are concerned about this, speak to your veterinarian. Every day that goes by without socializing and training for young pup is a day lost to his or her social future. We follow the guidelines for socialization put out by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior – please view their statement here.
