DAY TRAINING
What is Day Training?
Day training is a structured approach to day care, designed to maintain and build on any training you’ve previously accomplished. Day training focuses on not only physically exercising your dog, but mentally exercising them as well. Dogs in the day training program will receive TONS of one-on-one time with a trainer as group sizes are kept very small. If you are looking for a way to keep up with the training of your pup, socialize them in an appropriate way, or even just have a fun and safe place for your dog to go when you have a busy day - then day training is a great option for you!
Day training is an immersive, all-day program where your dog will participate in training, canine
fitness exercises, socialization, canine enrichment, field trips, and more. Each day that your dog
attends day training they will be exposed to something new to keep it fun and interesting. The
dogs will be run through different training circuits throughout the day to help achieve training goals. These circuits will include training goals such as tricks, leash walking, and basic obedience. The dogs will also be run through a number of exercises designed to build confidence and work on fitness. If appropriate for the dogs’ temperament, dogs will be given
multiple opportunities throughout the day to play in small groups with other dogs. If they are not dog social - fear not, we will make sure they get extra one-on-one play time with a trainer!
Occasionally, the dogs will be brought on field trips to places like parks, hiking trails, stores, and more to proof the training that we are doing and give them a new environment to explore.
Who is Day Training For?
Day training is a program designed to fit the needs of dogs of all breeds and ages. We accept dogs as young as 8 weeks old all the way up to senior dogs! Any breed of dog is welcome to attend the day training program. We also accept intact male and female dogs regardless of age.
What if my dog is dog selective?
That’s okay! We designed this program with the intention to provide a safe place for dogs of all social levels. Dogs who are unable to socialize with the other dogs will have different activities to work on with a trainer.
What if I am not a current Training With Play client?
Our program is open to both new and current clients. If you are not a current client we just require a consultation prior to enrollment to make sure your dog will be comfortable attending day training. You will be asked to make a profile in our business software for your dog where you will upload vaccination records, sign contracts etc.
When is Day Training Offered?
The first day of the program will be January 17th and going forward will be offered twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Drop off and pick up will take place at our facility in Belgrade, MT. Morning drop off hours are 7:30AM-9AM, and evening pickup hours are 4PM-6PM. The cost of the program is $68 per day. Your dog must attend the day training program a minimum of twice a month.
What Are the Benefits to Day Training?
When participating in this program, you can gain access to different perks based on the frequency of your dogs’ participation. The most exciting perk is access to a group class offered
exclusively to day trainers that is held twice a month. This gives you an opportunity to learn what we have been working on with your dog and provides a place to work on training with your
dog in a controlled, but distracting environment. Attendance to the group class is optional.
