Daycare & Train
Daycare & Train folds real training into a structured daycare day. You drop off as usual; between matched play and rest, your dog works on obedience, impulse control, and calm behavior with our trainers. Steady progress without committing to a live-in board-and-train.
For working owners who want their daycare dog to actually improve, not just get through the day.

If your dog is already coming to daycare, you're paying for time we can put to work. Daycare & Train adds structured training into the day your dog already attends: impulse control, place work, loose-leash, and recall. Progress builds week over week instead of holding steady.
It's the middle path between a weekly private session and a full board-and-train: more repetition than one lesson a week, less disruption than sending your dog away.
Typical investment
Each program includes follow-up training at our facility or Oz Park, from one hour on the 5-day up to five on the 20-day. A 20-day here covers roughly what a 12-week in-person program does. Start with a $235 consultation.
Your dog goes home every night. Instead of a live-in immersion, training is layered into the structured daycare days your dog already attends. Progress is a little slower than board-and-train, but there's no separation and no reset when the program ends.
Foundational obedience and the everyday behavior that makes a dog easier to live with: settling, impulse control around other dogs, loose-leash walking, reliable recall, and calm greetings. Reactivity work is possible depending on the dog.
Yes. You'll get updates and homework so the skills transfer home. Training that only works at daycare isn't training. It's babysitting with structure.
Questions
Consistency beats intensity. Two to three structured days a week creates real momentum; we'll recommend a cadence based on your dog's goals and your schedule.
Most social, daycare-appropriate dogs are. Dogs with serious aggression are better served by our aggression rehabilitation program first. We'll tell you which at the consultation.
