puppy playschool

Our Puppy Playschool Program is a small-group, trainer-led program created for puppies who love being social but need a little more guidance before transitioning into a larger daycare group.

With a maximum of 4 puppies, each pup receives more individual attention while working on appropriate play, social skills, impulse control, recall, disengagement, and learning how to settle around other dogs.

Each session combines structured play, training exercises, enrichment, and decompression breaks in a smaller, more controlled environment designed to help puppies build confidence and better social habits.

This program may be a great fit for puppies who:

• Become overstimulated in larger daycare groups
• Play too rough or have difficulty knowing when to stop
• Hump, fixate, or repeatedly invade another dog's space
• Have difficulty reading social cues
• Need help with recall and impulse control
• Would benefit from a smaller, more structured environment
• Are social but not quite ready for traditional group daycare

Our trainer will help puppies practice:

• Appropriate and balanced play
• Recall and responding to handlers
• Taking breaks and disengaging from play
• Impulse control
• Calm greetings and better social manners
• Respecting another dog's space and communication
• Building confidence around different dogs
• Settling and regulating after excitement

Puppy Playschool is designed to be a temporary stepping stone into regular daycare, not a permanent separate daycare group.

Every puppy progresses at their own pace. There is no set graduation date. Our trainer and management team will continually evaluate each puppy's progress and determine when they are ready to transition successfully into a regular daycare group.

Success is a team effort. Training and consistency at home are also an important part of your puppy's progress. Our team may provide recommendations for owners to practice between Playcare days so the same expectations are reinforced both at home and at daycare.
