Spotted Snout Day School
for Dogs Who Need More Than Daycare
Day School Details
Thursdays | 9:00 AM–2:00 PM
Limited to 4 dogs per day
This shorter day allows your dog to get focused training, enrichment, and socialization without the overwhelm of a full traditional daycare schedule.
How It Works:
Evaluation Required
Every dog must complete a 30–45 minute evaluation before starting Day School. This helps ensure the program is the right fit and allows us to learn more about your dog’s needs, goals, and comfort level.
