Day School

What Day School Covers

Every visit is tailored to your current training goals. Sessions may include:

  • Skill Reinforcement
    Practice cues like sit, down, recall, or “leave it” in real-life settings.

  • Leash Walking
    Work on loose-leash walking and focus during neighborhood strolls.

  • Manners in Context
    Reinforce calm behavior during greetings, doorways, or meal prep.

  • Confidence & Coping
    Support desensitization to sounds, surfaces, and everyday routines.

  • Potty & Crate Breaks
    Consistent support for puppies or newly adopted dogs with house-training.

We check in regularly to identify any behaviors you need extra support with and tailor each visit accordingly.

Day School is a 30-minute one-on-one training visit designed to reinforce your dog’s skills during the week. These visits are ideal as an add-on for current training clients and help keep your dog on track between lessons. Each session is customized to support what you’re currently working on.

Looking to add mental enrichment to your dog’s day while you’re at work? Our Day School visits provide focused training and engaging activities that keep your dog mentally stimulated and reinforce their current skills.

Why Choose Positive Reinforcement?

Instead of just managing behavior, we focus on creating low-stress, rewarding experiences that help your dog respond confidently to everyday situations. This approach encourages lasting progress and a happier, more comfortable dog.
