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.

  • Enrichment and mental stimulation

  • Supervised socialization when appropriate

  • Fit Dog concepts and movement-based confidence work

Every dog’s training day is tailored to their goals, personality, and comfort level.

    • Personalized trainer-led attention

    • A calm, small-group environment

    • Structured enrichment and skill-building

    • Thoughtful socialization, only when appropriate
