Day school training lessons

Introduce some fresh skills and reinforce already learned behaviors. These mini lessons are intended to supplement your current training plans and provides your pet with an added bit of individual attention and lots of fun learning.

 Your dog goes from their play group to a private session with one of the training team, who they already have a great relationship with because our team are also daycare attendants and kennel technicians. We do two or three 10 minute sessions or 2 sessions and a mind game in each daycare or boarding day.  Your pet goes right back to play time with their buddies after the lessons.

 Carden’s Canine College has three levels. Skills are worked on to proficiency with more than one trainer and in various locations on the property, with and without distractions. Some packages also offer outdoor adventures and field trips.

Is your dog a good candidate for this program?

This is not a good fit for dogs with special needs such as aggression, separation anxiety, abnormal toileting issues, or reactivity. We are happy to discuss those needs with you and make recommendations.

This is a great offering for dogs that enjoy the company of other dogs, enjoy being with people, respond well to treats, and are in good general health.

Associates Degree in Leash Manners

This first level works on loose leash walking, name, place, sit, stay, off, heel and leave it.

Bachelors Degree in Charm School

Our second level continues to build on the first level and adds come, wait your turn, take it/ leave it, place, and drop it.

Masters Degree in Showing Off

Level three adds confidence builders and sheer fun such as, shake, spin, bow, crawl and sit pretty.

We recommend at least 2 days a week. Pets will demonstrate proficiency before moving on to the next degree.

We may use additional fun props such as agility equipment, flirt poles and lure coursing, but we will never use aversive training tools with your pet.
