You cannot give your dog enough love and affection, but realize that you also cannot love your dog out of bad behaviors. Love them by leading them and showing them what the right choices are!

Structured Daycare with Purpose

Not every dog needs training every day… but for the ones that do, we’ve created something different. Welcome to Day School at We Talk Dog—a structured daycare program designed to help your dog build real-life skills while still enjoying their day.

Is Day School Right for Your Dog?

Day School is a great fit for dogs who:

✔ Get overly excited or struggle to settle
✔ Pull on leash or don’t listen around distractions
✔ Need help with manners at home
✔ Thrive with structure and guidance
✔ Would benefit from more than just playtime

If your dog comes home from daycare tired—but still a little chaotic—this program is for you.

 What Makes Day School Different?

We still believe in social time and enrichment. But in Day School, everything has a purpose. Instead of unstructured play all day, your dog will experience:

✔ Structured routines
✔ Guided socialization
✔ Dedicated training sessions
✔ Rest and reset periods

This creates dogs who are not just tired… but calmer, more focused, and easier to live with.

What Your Dog Will Learn

Throughout the day, your dog will work on:

  • Place training (learning to settle and relax)
  • Leash skills (better walks, less pulling)
  • Impulse control (less jumping, barking, chaos)
  • Kennel confidence (calm, quiet downtime)
  • Neutrality around other dogs (less overreaction)

These are real-life skills that carry over into your home—not just the training floor.

Daily Structure

Example Daily Flow

7:00–8:30 AM – Arrival & Decompression

  • Kennel conditioning
  • Calm entry (no chaos greetings)

  • Place training rotations
  • Leash skill drills
  • Engagement work

10:30–11:30 AM – Structured Social Time

  • Small groups
  • Interrupt play → reinforce neutrality

11:30–1:00 PM – Rest Period

  • Mandatory kennel time

1:00–2:30 PM – Skill Sessions

  • Impulse control games

2 Days per Week: $130/week ($65/day)

3 Days per Week: $189/week ($63/day)

5 Days per Week: $300/week ($60/day)

Consistency produces the best results—most clients choose 3–5 days per week.

+ About our revolving class program
    • We are doing a levels system approach. What that means is that you will purchase a certain amount of “sessions” and then you can use them to fit your schedule!

    • It won’t be a big deal if you can’t make a class on a certain week, with our revolving schedule, you can jump right back in without missing a beat!

    • Socialization – We will offer socialization time at the end of class, which means we can work on your dog’s interactions with others and improve your knowledge of dog body language

    • Work through the levels – Each dog progresses to the next difficulty level once they are able to accomplish the requirements of their current level. This is great for nervous dogs that might need a little more time or for someone who has already a little more advanced and can move up quicker!
