Training Programs 

After 20 years of providing our one of a kind premier puppy drop off day school program we are thrilled to continue offering this proven signature curriculum! Enrollment is now open for Fall/Winter 2026 new students! 

Who is day school for:

• Puppies up to 6 months old (Puppies must be friendly to attend)

• Busy puppy parents who need a helping hand training their puppy

• Puppy parents who would like Miss Cindy to train their puppy for them

• Puppies who have had a minimum of 2 rounds of puppy vaccinations (DHPP), a negative fecal test, and a Bordetella vaccine 14 days prior to attending school

How it works:

• First, please fill out our 'New To School Form'

• Once I receive your 'New To School Form' I will reach out by phone ('New To School Forms' are answered on Tues, Wed, Thurs) to provide you with a 'FREE' Puppy Campus Consultation

• YES! You get a 'FREE' Puppy Campus Consultation so you can learn more about puppy day school 

• Once you are enrolled, you drop your puppy off to Miss Cindy, and you go do whatever your little heart desires while your puppy is being trained

• When you pick your puppy up, you'll receive a - Puppy Parent Teacher Conference - to learn everything your puppy learned that day, so you can carry it home with you to continue reinforcing the training there, you can also ask any questions you may have during the conference

• Puppy day school is not a doggie daycare, think of it like a preschool for kiddos except this is for puppies to learn, train, and grow! 

HOW YOU GET ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND PRICING:

• Any and all pricing is shared with you through your free consultation, once we connect, I can learn more about your goals, and provide additional information. Because every pup and every persons goals are different for training the curriculum is tailored to your pup and you, the free consultation helps me get info from you on the help you would like, to give you the most accurate pricing.

Sometimes individuals or families prefer a more one-on-one approach to training their puppy or adult dog. The session includes myself, your canine companion , and you (the owner). We will discuss what you’d like to learn, and tailor a training program specifically for you and your canines goals, plus I’ll add plenty of extras to help you and your canine companion succeed! I work around your schedule as much as possible when setting up your session. The session is detailed and packed with information, that you will carry home with you and continue the training with your canine, training takes time, patience, and consistency from the human to be the canine's trusting leader! You see, we know every dog has different unique needs, and we are here to help you learn exactly what your dogs are, during your private lesson session! 

Why Choose Private Lessons?

• Ideal for dogs who are excitable or easily distracted

• Ideal for dogs who need help learning obedience and good manners

• Flexible scheduling

• Full attention from a professional human canine coach  

• Training plans tailored to what you would like your dog to learn + extras 

• You like a more one on one approach

• It's for puppies, adults, and seniors to fulfill their canine needs in life

• If you have a dog 1+ year old and they have had no training or need a refresher on the obedience/good manners like obedience cues, not to jump on you or other people, walking nicer on a leash, focus, impulse control, etc. Please note: This little school is dedicated exclusively to only obedience and good manners  

• Private lessons are offered here on puppy school campus in Otsego, MI 

• Please note: We no longer offer rehabilitation for canines with any type of aggression-based behaviors. In this context, "aggression" refers to dogs that bite, attempt to bite, or display intense barking, lunging, and growling—whether out of frustration or intent to harm—toward people, other animals, or both.  Please note that this is different from typical puppy behaviors like mouthing, play-nipping, or vocal play (barking and growling), which are a normal part of a puppy's development and can be fully addressed through my training here
