Starting Between 8-14 Weeks of Age

Puppies join us for a semester where they are dropped off at school in the morning for a full day of training, proper exposure, and fun!

This is a specialized puppy program where your puppy will learn proper crate training, exposure to new things, basic obedience, and introductions to basic things like vet visits, new people, and groomers.

The program runs Monday through Friday, allowing you can customize how many times per week you come.

Options:

4 days a week
5 days a week

You will enroll in an 8 or 16-week program.

Education

Every puppy university student is required to sign up for Puppy 101 and 2 sessions of Puppy Preschool. We can train your puppy to be the best, but we need to train the owners too.

Puppy 101

Puppy 101 is our introductory obedience group class. They run for 7 consecutive weeks for 50 minutes. We teach all the puppies and owners the basic commands like place, sit, down, stay, etc.

Puppy Preschool

These sessions are the prerequisite for Puppy 101 and teach owners how to build good habits before bad ones can begin. We go over the basics of luring, crate, and potty training, tips and tricks, and the first puppy commands. Each enrollment fee covers the 2 required sessions with the option to join more based on the trainer's advice. Please email training@pawspetresort.com for the next available date for Puppy Preschool.

Private Lessons

We offer private lessons for any more education owners or puppies may need. We have a special rate of $50/hour or $25/half hour.

"I would have been lost without Paws training! My little French Bulldog was lucky enough to attend Puppy University where she (and me) learned everything she needed for a good start at her dog life. We both loved learning from the trainers and she was very happy to have other puppies to play with. Her first day/last day pictures say it all - a shy, moody little pup to a confident, social gal.
Paws made it easy to try additional trainings to see what Lumi (and I) liked: we've taken classes in scent work, fitness, nail care, dental care, therapy dog, tricks class and most recently, rally (which so far is our shared favorite!)
Special "thank you" to, Sophie who is always very patient with Lumi and extra helpful to me! All the gals at Paws have helped me be a better dog owner and Lumi a good and happy girl." ~ Lumi's Owner, Melaine.

"Paws Pet Resort didn’t just train my dogs; they changed my life in the best way possible. What started with enrolling my dogs, Finn and Forrest, in Puppy University quickly became something so much bigger and meaningful to me. Through Paws, we took countless classes, discovered new dog sports, and gained a family in the team at Paws. Paws set both of my boys up for complete success, between basic obedience at home to traveling to big cities to compete at dog shows every weekend, and because of them, they have given me experiences beyond anything I ever could have imagined. The team at Paws pours their hearts into what they do, and it shows in every dog they work with. They create an environment where it feels safe to learn, to try, and to grow as a new dog owner. Whether it be training or boarding my dogs for a weekend, I absolutely trust them to give Finn and Forrest the best care and love possible, which speaks volumes because if you know me, you know my dogs are my absolute world. I will forever be grateful to Paws Pet Resort for the foundation they gave us, the support they continue to give, and the path they helped set in motion. ~ Finn & Forrest's Owner, Shanya.

"Puppy University changed our lives!! Taz attended Puppy University and the Master's class through Paws and is SO SO well trained. We were extremely impressed with the expertise knowledge of staff and genuine care and love for our puppy. Taz received world class training and all the love and attention. I adore the employees and made several long-lasting connections. Thank you so much PAWS PUPPY UNIVERSITY. We would recommend Puppy U over and over again. Our only wish was to continue sending Taz to Puppy U forever" ~ Taz's Owner, Brandy.
