At Pleasant Pooch, we focus on positive reinforcement training that builds trust, confidence, and lasting results. We’re proud to offer customized training programs for dogs of all ages and skill levels, each designed to fit your dog’s unique needs.
Vaccination Requirements
& Training Schedules
All dogs 16 weeks and older must be current on Bordetella, Distemper, and Rabies. Proof can be emailed by you or your vet. We recommend Canine Influenza we well but it is not a requirement to visit us.
Day School: One-on-One Attention with Play and Breaks
Dogs train one-on-one during day care and enjoy structured playtime, naps, and breaks to avoid overstimulation. Special accommodations are made for less active or more sensitive dogs. Each package includes a pickup lesson. Drop-offs can be made between 7-10 AM, and pick up is from 3-6 PM.

Private Lessons
Private in-home dog training provides personalized, one-on-one guidance tailored to your dog's behavior and your lifestyle.
Interested in working on additional skills beyond what's included in our standard programs? We'd love to talk with our trainers about customizing a program around your goals. Let us know which specific skills or behaviors you'd like to focus on, and we'll tailor the training to your needs.
Dogs must wait 30 days after visiting other facilities (daycare, boarding, dog parks) before training with us. If your dog shows any signs of illness — coughing, sneezing, or discharge — they must remain home for 21 days.
Let's Find the Right Fit for Your Dog
The next step is to schedule a Zoom consultation with us. We'll talk through your goals, your dog's behavior, and any specific challenges — so we can match you with the training program that will be the most effective and supportive for both of you.
