Why Day School

Trained by day. Home by night.

Great training and time with your dog shouldn't be a trade-off. Your dog spends full days learning with professional trainers on our 20-acre campus, then comes home to you every evening — so you never miss the moments that made you want a dog in the first place.

Home every night

Your dog trains all day, then sleeps in his own bed — you never miss an evening together.

Trained by professionals

Full days of structured, hands-on work with experienced trainers on 20 wooded acres.

You're trained, too

Weekly private lessons and Sunday handler classes, so the results last long after the program.

Real progress by day. Your dog home by night.

Before you book

Questions owners ask

Can day training really deliver results?
Absolutely. Your dog gets full days of hands-on professional training, four days a week — and because you're trained too through weekly lessons, the results carry over and stick at home.
What happens while he's there?
Structured, hands-on training on our 20-acre campus, guided by your dog's individual plan. Your weekly lesson keeps you looped in on his progress.
My dog is out of control. Too much?
Any age, any experience level. The consultation matches him with the right trainer (serious aggression is routed to our behavior-mod program).
Is the e-collar humane?
Used as a gentle communication tool, conditioned properly — so your dog earns real off-leash freedom, safely.
Where are you and what are the hours?
6225 Glen Falls Rd, Glyndon, MD. Drop-off from 8 a.m., pick-up by 4:30, Mon–Thu.
