Puppies (ages 3 to 6 months) have the opportunity to learn social skills
and puppy etiquette in a fun-filled, safe environment at Canine Country Club.
We enhance learning through:
✔️ Sessions with other puppies of all sizes to practice gentle play and socialization.
✔️ Crate training and potty walks spread throughout the day to help with housebreaking and leash skills.
✔️ Outside breaks at least 6 times a day for fresh air and comfort with new surroundings.
✔️ Interactive games and toys to develop problem-solving skills.
✔️ Consistent use of simple commands to reinforce good manners
Book as a standalone Daycare option or as an add-on to an overnight Boarding stay.

Command: OFF

Puppy Preschool Reviews
We value our clients’ experience at Canine Country Club & Feline Inn. Here’s what some of your neighbors are saying about our Dog Daycare services.
I don't know how anyone has a puppy without Canine Country Club's Doggie Daycare Program. When our guy was smaller, he went to Puppy Preschool. Now, he is bigger and he goes 5 days a week to play with the "big kids". He is calmer around the kids at home and can focus better during our training sessions... training that is reinforced in Canine Country Club's Doggie Daycare Program.

Our little 4 month old puppy had an amazing stay. We were nervous leaving her being so little. She had treats, Puppy Preschool and was a happy little girl. Thanks for taking the anxiety out of boarding our little Leeloo.

Cinnamon enjoyed playing with other small dogs. This socialization is something that she needs because I adopted her as a feral puppy. She has made much progress.
