Our Training Style

We use humane, positive reinforcement style training that aligns with most current scientific research on animal learning and best ethical practices. Our well-vetted training plans are intended to optimize speed in learning and retention for the dog using rewards-based training. Families are busy, our job is to make this process as efficient and fun as possible. We are strongly against punitive methods in training. To learn more about our guiding principles, check out the LIMA position statement from the APDT here.

What All the Bark is About

  • Erica D.

    Ultimate Puppy Day School is the absolute best!!! I can't say enough great things about Val and the other trainers at day school. Our puppy not only learned so many invaluable socialization skills, but her obedience skills are awesome! Such a great investment for your puppy and for your family!!

  • Lauren F.

    This was worth every penny. The attention to detail and consideration that the trainers show is second to none. In the Ultimate Puppy Day School program, I got daily pictures and videos of my dog learning and playing, she went on four different field trips with the trainers, I received a detailed report card at the end of each week, had two private hour long training sessions, and was given a ton of training material to keep her on track at home.

  • C.F.

    We did the 4-week Ultimate Puppy Day School program and even added on some additional time. Luna has learned so much under their watch and is amazing walking on leash and hiking. She is great with other dogs she meets and gained a ton of confidence. Luna absolutely loved coming to school and didn't want to leave! I highly recommend taking a puppy here!
