Congratulations on your new puppy! When a family acquires a new puppy, it is an exciting and busy time. Puppies are fun and a bit of work too!

Just like an infant, puppies require constant supervision so they won’t get themselves into mischief. It can be hard to adjust the your daily routine to meet the puppy’s needs.  Often owners do not have the time or skills it takes to teach their puppy proper housebreaking habits, socialization and training boundaries. However, these habits are critical to helping your puppy grow into a well-adjusted, happy dog.

Dog-Gone Fun understands the limitations of a busy daily life. We also know how much fun owning a puppy can be.

Puppy Day School combines daycare and dog training to help your puppy get a jumpstart on training and socialization.

Simply drop off your puppy off between 7-9 a.m. and pick them up between 4-6 p.m. for a predetermined number of days. We give you, the owner, the educational material, and the encouragement that you need to continue the same routine at home.

Any questions and concerns that you have are resolved on a daily basis.
