Excellent for your dog and easy for you! Your dog will come home tired and well-socialized, with the training and skills they need to be a well-behaved member of your family.
One-on-One Enrichment
Personalized One-on-One Enrichment sessions give your dog the extra attention they love and the freedom to use their senses and safely explore their instincts through interactive toys, puzzles, and games. It’s fun and rewarding and exercise their bodies and minds and engage their senses. Add complexity with fitness and agility equipment.
Rest Period Enrichment
Your dog gets to relax and recharge in their own private space with calming interactive toys and healthy food pairings tailored to their preferences and diet. It promotes physical and mental relaxation which can help them achieve a healthy balance of play, learning, and rest. It can also help them become more comfortable in crates by building positive associations.

| Puppy Preschool Prepare your puppy for a lifetime at your side Puppies 7 to 18 weeks of age 6-week course, 1 hr/week $180 per session, a 5% discount for current day care clients This course uses group play to help your puppy become social with people and other dogs while reducing fear development in their new world. Traditional behaviors like “sit” and “stay” are touched on, but the primary emphasis is on social skills and a good recall. Because Barkley believes in the power of the “click,” we will teach pet parents clicker training. This is a 6-week course for puppies and their families (kids included!). Be sure to check out our Puppy Power Hour, held on Saturdays! *Puppy vaccinations required (DHPP and Bordatella) | 180 |

Pet parents will learn how to strengthen these behaviors by adding distance, duration, and distraction. This is a 6-week course for dogs and their families (kids included!). | 180 |
| Intermediate School This course builds on the foundational behaviors taught in Basic Elementary. Intermediate School adds skills such as “leave it” and “go to your place” — all practical and applicable to everyday life. Pet parents will also enhance and strengthen those behaviors already taught by adding complexity, including distance, duration, and distraction. This is a 6-week course for dogs and their families (kids included!). *Puppy vaccinations required (DHPP, Rabies (depending on age), and Bordatella). | 180 |
