Why PJ’s Day School and Not the One Down the Street?
We boast an incredible 3:1 dog to trainer ratio!
We provide a safe and moderated socialization time for your dog to learn social cues only other dogs can teach them.
Your dog won’t be squeezed into a corner or overlooked cowering in the back of the room.
Instead he’ll be interacting with other pups during an educational game, a pack walk, or anything from foundational commands to leash skills and manners to agility games.
Not only that, but we will work with your pup on whatever behavior you need.
Enrichment activities are taken seriously as they provide opportunities for less common sensory experiences to supercharge your pups motivation and happiness, relieving boredom and reducing maladaptive behaviors.
Your dog will likely be very sleepy after the end of his day school experience giving you some extra time to relax.
