We launched "Pop Up Daycare" for pups in June 2021 to serve individuals who will benefit from more intensive group training in public places. Through our training programs we highly believe in building up each dogs confidence through desensitizing and gradually exposing your dogs to many different situations. We do this by focusing on the animal's environment, physical well-being, and operant and classical interventions such as differential reinforcement of an alternative behavior, desensitization, and counter-conditioning. By utilizing repetitive training exercises we improve your dog's understanding of obedience, which ultimately helps your pup learn self control (Impulse Control) in any situation that presents itself.
This program serves 4 purposes:
1. to introduce Socialization to puppies who are unfamiliar with Societal Norms including environmental triggers such as sensory stimuli that is overwhelming for them. Dump Trucks, Fire Engines, Bikes, Motorcycles, Scooters, Buses, Trucks, and Skateboards are among the many stimuli that we've witnessed trigger dogs we've trained. We gradually introduce, what we like to call "CULTURAL SOCIALIZATION" at a very young age, to prevent any anxiety, aggression, or any other fearful behaviors (SENSITIZATION) from occurring in later development stages of life, including after the (1st Fear Period of life. When a puppy is 5 months and older, they move into the 2nd Fear Period of their life, which is when the most severe problem behaviors are evident.
2. to get your dog out of the home to curb behavioral issues: Separation Anxiety (SA) is the most common behavior problems that pet parents face and that their pet suffers with, until they get the help they need from a dog trainer and Separation Anxiety Specialist.
3. to aim at improving every individual's impulse control in every environment they find themselves in, at any given moment.
4. to increase one's confidence
Our pup taxi even shows up at your front door to pick up and drop off your pup for a Pup-Tastic (4 hour) learn & play excursion.
Our structured science based training methods are what transforms your pup from a hard to manage puppy to a well mannered dog and responsible pet member of society.

Cultural Socialization Training
Why Socialization? Do Puppies need it?
SOCIALIZATION is the process of introducing a puppy to the world in a way that will help him be confident and unafraid of people, places and things that he will encounter throughout his life. The most critical socialization window occurs before the age of 12 weeks, and that window is considered to be closing by 5 months. Generally the younger the puppy is when he is socialized, the more quickly and easily he gains confidence. Waiting too long can result in a need for the more difficult process of rehabilitation instead of socialization. Most aggression issues are simply a result of inefficient socialization.
RULES OF SOCIALIZATION: Each socialization exposure must be fun for your puppy. If he is forced to confront fears he's not ready to handle, the process can backfire and create a fearful/aggressive response. Go at his pace, and at a distance he feels safe. Your puppy should be the one to initiate each approach to something new and be allowed to retreat when needed to feel safe. Socialization includes generalization. Though your puppy may be fine with the toddlers or dogs in your home, that does not mean he is fine with all children and dogs. Even if he is in a class, he will need to meet new and different dogs and people, and in different places, after his classmates and their owners become familiar to him. You need to continue to expose him to new things, places, and contexts to best generalize his confidence with new things. Pair treats with exposures to make good associations. If your puppy is worried about those children he sees running across the street, it can help if the sight of the children makes cheese suddenly appear. Or if he doesn’t like her paws touched, a brief touch followed by a lick of peanut butter from a spoon can make paw touches easier to handle. If he will not take food, that is a good indication that you need to backup and lower the intensity of the exposure with more distance or less pressure. If your puppy seems to be fearful of certain things and doesn’t gain confidence quickly, we are here to help you! Remember that socialization is a time-sensitive procedure.
Whether you want to teach basic manners or iron out more serious behavioral issues, you can expect in person or virtual training with us to make an immediate impact on your dog or puppy’s behavior with the use of training games that develop self-control and make learning fun for your dog,
