Day School is a 5 hour weekday drop-off program at our training center designed to instill and maintain basic manners and leash training while you’re at work.

Wholistic Hound Puppy and Day Academy is Alexandria’s one of-a-kind innovative training program. This five-hour program is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm,with limited spaces to provide the optimal training experience for your dog. With a 6 dog maximum, your dog will always receive personalized attention.

 

The Day Academy is ideal for families who want a well-trained companion (of any age) but have time limitations or physical limitations that makes it difficult to teach their canine companions by themselves. It is also ideal for families who are currently participating in Wholistic Hound Academy training classes but would like additional help and reinforcement of behaviors they have already learned or training new behaviors. The Day Academy is also a good fit for dogs who have completed classes but need help with a specific challenge.
