A dog’s first year of life is the most important in regards to socialization and training. Doggie daycare can be a great outlet for energy and provide awesome socialization, but did you know it’s not a great idea for a young puppy to attend all day daycare all week. Puppies need LOTS of rest. They play hard for a good 10 minutes and then need 30 or more minutes to recover. This recovery time allows their body to rest as well as their brain to comprehend what he or she has just learned.
Our Puppy Program is designed to offer puppies the best start to life. Our Puppy Program is for puppies from 8-weeks to 7-months. Puppies need to have had at least one round of distemper/parvo (by a veterinarian) and the bordetella vaccine. Owners must then provide proof of vaccines as they come scheduled including a bordetella booster, all three rounds of distemper/parvo and rabies at 16-weeks. Puppies that haven’t received at least 2-rounds of the distemper/parvo vaccine will have limited social play to keep them as safe as possible. However, they will get lots of other activities. Keep reading for all the details.
The Puppy Program enrollment fee is $275. In addition to future discounts, this enrollment fee covers the following:
A Purple Pebble Fleece bed. This bed will stay at Pawtropolis throughout the program and will be used for teaching “go to bed”. It will be sent home upon graduating.
A treat allowance of up to 6 bags of treats that staff will be using specifically for your pup’s training.
Because learning to have their toenails trimmed is very important for every dog, the program includes weekly toenail trims. Staff make sure it always a positive experience.
Each puppy will receive a Lupine lifetime guaranteed, play-safe solid color collar and leash.
Includes the puppy’s Playgroup Compatibility Evaluation
Upon arriving in the morning, each puppy will get their own bedroom for the day.

Puppies will receive training each day suitable for their age and attention span.
