Day School
our day school program is truly one of a kind! drop your dog off in the morning for a full day of training and fun with our team, and pick up a FULFILLED, polished pup who needs a nap from all of their adventures.
our day school program isn’t like a daycare. it’s a school with an adaptable curriculum of obedience, manners, and of course, plenty of recess!
Our team of expert trainers will work with your pup throughout the day to build a solid foundation of communication. we will work to teach basic obedience, as well as manners. we also have playgroups and socialization exercises throughout the day, and of course fun and exciting field trips!
OUR MOST POPULAR TRAINING PROGRAM! DROP YOUR FURRY FRIEND OFF IN THE MORNING FOR A FULL DAY OF SCHOOL, AND PICK UP A MORE KNOWLEDGABLE PUP IN THE EVENING. OUR GOAL IS TO TEACH YOUR DOG TO MAKE GOOD CHOICES IN EVERY DAY LIFE, WHETHER THEY ARE AT HOME OR OUT AND ABOUT.
AT SCHOOL, YOUR DOG WILL ENJOY WORKING WITH OUR EXPERIENCED TRAINERS ON OBEDIENCE SKILLS, MANNERS, AND ANY OTHER BEHAVIORS OR SKILLS YOU REQUEST.
ALL WORK AND NO PLAY IS NOT FUN, SO WE PRIORITIZE BREAKS INCLUDING RECESS WHERE THE DOGS PARTICIPATE IN A STRUCTURED AND SAFE PLAY GROUP IN ADDITION TO SOCIALIZATION EXERCISES, PACK WALKS, AND FIELD TRIPS.
DURING FRIDAY PICK UP, ONE OF OUR TRAINERS WILL DO A SHORT LESSON WITH YOU TO REVIEW A COUPLE OF THE SKILLS YOUR DOG HAS LEARNED THAT WEEK SO YOU CAN PRACTICE ON THE WEEKEND.
AFTER GRADUATION, WE WILL SCHEDULE AN IN-HOME LESSON TO HELP MAKE THE TRANSITION HOME SEAMLESS.
AS GRADUATES OF OUR PROGRAM, YOUR FAMILY WILL HAVE ACCESS TO LIFETIME SUPPORT TO HELP YOUR PUP MAINTAIN GOOD BEHAVIORS, AS WELL AS TO TRAIN THROUGH ANY LIFE CHANGES OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD. OUR LIFETIME SUPPORT PROGRAM ALSO INCLUDES BOARDING AND DAY SCHOOL DROP-IN OPTIONS FOR OUR GRADUATES TO HELP MEET YOUR NEEDS BOTH NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.

Meet the founders
CSDT was FOUNDED TO HELP DOG OWNERS HAVE BETTER RELATIONSHIPS with a BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR DOGS.
AFTER SPENDING TIME WORKING IN Veterinary medicine, dog walking, and open door shelters, emily and natalie saw that dog owners needed Guidance to cultivate a more harmonious relationship with their pet. having both had challenging relationships with their first dogs, they knew how paramount it was to have a mentor. after years of working with all types of behaviors, dogs, and their people, they decided to take all they’ve learned and give back.
Since then they have grown csdt to help hundreds of families, cofounded a dog rescue, and continued training their own dogs for a multitude of dog sports
Now, they are thrilled to welcome you and your four-legged friend into the canine sports family.
