The Puppy School Bus arrives at your home. A trained Puppy Counselor takes your puppy out to potty at your designated house-training spot and rewards your pup with a treat. Your puppy travels to our SoMa facility in a comfy crate. (Sending your pup to Puppy Daycare is great for crate training: To our furry students a crate predicts play and friends and fun!) |

| 12-2pm |
Playtime. A trainer and several Puppy Counselors supervise. Puppies get to run, wrestle, play tug and fetch, chase each other, and practice good early manners. |
|
| 2:30-4:00pm |
The Puppy School Bus takes your puppy home. Another stop at the designated house-training spot, then inside to your puppy’s long-term confinement area for lunch or an after-school snack (we encourage owners to leave stuffed Kongs in their freezers or a bully stick we can give your puppy to reinforce alone-time training). |

Your puppy is out of the house for 4-5 hours in all and will, we guarantee it, be snoozing contentedly the rest of the afternoon. |
Head Start—Pre-Daycare Consultation
Puppy daycare spans a limited, very important time in your puppy’s life. Attending Puppy Daycare is great fun and exercise for puppies, but the program does more than that. We introduce your puppy to strange objects and sounds (think crutches and vacuum cleaners), teach good playground manners, lay the foundation for crate and alone training, and support your house-training efforts.
Before your puppy’s first day at Puppy Daycare, you and your family will have a pre-daycare consultation with owner Stephanie Miller or Head Daycare Trainer, Michelle Martens. In this comprehensive 90-minute session in your home, you’ll get a head start on puppy parenthood and daycare routines. We’ll puppy proof your home, talk about where to set up your long-term confinement area, discuss house-training methods and chew training, and take you through our pick-up and drop-off procedures.
