Our Puppy Professionals are here to help!
Puppy raising can be hard work, but our highly knowledgeable team of Academy Sr Handlers will make sure the process is streamlined for you. We will lay the foundational skills for your puppy, so that your puppy develops into a social, adaptable, and well trained canine companion. With our help, you can spend less time on the nitty gritty details of raising a puppy, and more time enjoying that sweet puppy breath.
Puppy Academy Syllabus
During Puppy Academy, our Sr Puppy Handlers will provide structured learning opportunities. Part of each day is dedicated to obedience fundamentals like sit, stay, and down. Potty training is also a priority to set your puppy up for success at home. As well as, crate training in a positive way to help puppies feel comfortable and safe in their own space.
Puppy Academy Sr Handlers gradually introduce your puppy to things you’d commonly expect at the vet and groomers to create positive associations and minimize stress later on. Such as standing on a weight scale/examination table, touch from a stranger, being brushed, the sound of a nail Dremel/blow dryer, etc. Last but certainly not least, we provide a safe and positive setting for puppies to interact and play under supervision while they learn social and communication skills.
Available weekdays at Metro Dogs!
Puppy Academy consists of 2 sessions per week of Training Days. We offer a free Orientation Day allowing our staff to assess if our program is right for your puppy, as well as you getting the chance to speak with us and make a decision on enrolling your puppy in Puppy Academy.
To maximize learning potential, we recommend our 5-week course (10 sessions), however, we also offer a 3-week (6 sessions) option if it better fits your needs. Puppy Academy members also gain access to Puppy Play Days on the non-training days!
Mondays & Thursdays are Puppy Academy – Training Days.
Program starts at 9:00AM. We strongly recommend not dropping off earlier than 8:45AM. If you absolutely need to, please let us know.
Our Sr Handlers begin working with your puppy at 9AM until 1PM. Preferred pick up time is between 12PM til 1PM, where one of the trainers is available to give you an update on your puppy’s day! Not able to pick up between 12pm and 1pm? Just ask… you may extend pick up to between 3:30pm and 6:30pm, but the Sr Puppy Handler is not on-site past 1:00PM. Price: 10 sessions $590; 6 sessions $360. Additional training sessions may be added at the end of your course for $62 / session.
Wednesdays & Fridays are Puppy Academy Play Days.
These are supplemental socialization days to be used as a “booster” for those puppies that need additional socialization. Puppy Play Days are offered only to current Puppy Academy members. The Play Days are supervised by a trained dog handler, but they do not include training time with the Sr Puppy Handlers. Price: $35 / day
