Day School

Dog Day School in Oxford

So much more than a “doggy daycare” – Day school is enrichment, training and play time… all in one! Our unique Day School program is everything your pup could want to keep them stimulated – mentally and physically!

Day School is a brand new 3-hour drop off service focused on meeting your dog’s needs to send home a well-mannered, tired pup!

While this program is an amazing social and training supplement, it is not meant to replace at-home practice and we highly encourage enrollment in group classes to help develop you and your dog’s bond and training relationship.

Benefits of our Day School in Oxford

We’re not your typical daycare… we’re so much more!

Supervision By a Certified Trainer

Your dog’s interactions and training will be supervised by an experienced, certified professional dog trainer.

1-on-1 Training Sessions

Every day, every dog! Your dog will receive one-on-one training with our certified trainers to work toward your behavior goals.

Small Group Sizes

No big groups here! We cap our enrollment at a 1:3 dog to human ratio so we can really get to know your pup and provide the safest and most personalized service possible.

Enrichment Activities

Enrichment is like exercise for your dog’s brain! With games, enrichment toys, food puzzles, “crafts” and more, the possibilities are endless when it comes to challenging your dog mentally.

Carefully Selected Matches

These small groups are composed of dogs we think will flourish together. With different play styles and other factors to consider, we select dogs that will thrive in a group.

Outdoor Potty Breaks

Outdoor walks with our trainers and their assistants allow us to enforce potty training and loose leash skills while allowing for sniffing, decompression and physical exercise.

Group Training

Free play will be peppered with group training to encourage polite play with other dogs, good “manners” and working around distractions. Group sit-stays, anyone!?

Relaxation Time

Allowing for some down time between play and training sessions will keep your dog from getting overwhelmed and overexcited while allowing us to teach them how to develop that “off switch.”

Day School Requirements

Group play services like Day School are not ideal for every dog. Our requirements and pre-screening help keep us compliant with state rules, keep everyone safe and happy!

Non-Reactive, Friendly Dogs

This program is appropriate for social dogs who enjoy the company of other pups. There are other options for reactive and dog selective dogs!

Meet and Greet

To ensure your dog is a good fit for Day School, a Meet and Greet/pre-evaluation at our training facility is required.

Veterinary Records

All dogs must be up to date on age appropriate vaccinations for Rabies, DHPP and Bordetella and have proof of a clean fecal within the last 6 months.

Day School Pricing

Local pick up and drop off transportation is available for an additional fee.
Limited availability.
