Puppy Day Training in Columbus, Ohio
Our Day Training program in Columbus, Ohio gives your puppy a full day of learning, enrichment, and fun — all designed to build real-life skills that last. Drop your puppy off before work and pick them up after. Know they’re spending the day with a professional trainer who’s helping them grow. We use your puppy’s breakfast and favorite treats to reinforce key skills like coming when called, walking politely on leash, greeting people calmly, settling when asked, and more. Throughout the day, your puppy will enjoy a thoughtful balance of training, play, and rest, with frequent outdoor breaks to support potty training.
You’ll receive regular written and video updates, so you can easily track your puppy’s progress and continue building on their skills at home. This keeps the training momentum going even when your schedule is busy, helping your puppy develop good habits consistently. Puppies enrolled in this program must also participate in either our group or private training sessions, which not only provide hands-on guidance and socialization for your puppy but also ensure you, as the owner, receive the training and tools needed to support your puppy’s ongoing success.
