Puppy Lodge & Learn FAQs
What are the requirements for Lodge and Learn?
To join our Lodge and Learn program, all dogs must be up-to-date on their vaccinations and microchipped. Puppies over the age of 5 months will also be required to have an assessment.
Is there a multi dog/sibling discount? Yes!
 We offer a 15% discount for dogs from the same household enrolled in the Lodge and Learn program.
Do I provide my dog’s food?
Yes, please bring your dog’s food from home in pre-portioned bags labeled with their name. This ensures they stay on their regular diet and helps them feel comfortable during their stay.
Do the late check in and early check out fees apply?
No, late check-in and early check-out fees do not apply. However, dogs must check in before 9 AM on the first day and check out after 3 PM on the last day of their Lodge and Learn program.
Can I request specific training commands for my dog to master?
We focus on specific skills based on the program you select, but we can absolutely tailor the training to meet your dog’s individual needs and your specific goals. Let us know what you’d like us to work on with your dog, and we’ll incorporate it into their Lodge and Learn experience!
How do I know how much time my dog needs in the Lodge & Learn program?
The length of the program depends on your dog’s needs and your training goals. We offer 1, 2, and 4-week programs. It’s best to discuss your goals with our trainers so we can recommend the program that will set your dog up for the most success.
Will I get updates on my dog’s progress?
Absolutely! We’ll keep you updated throughout your dog’s stay with report cards and photos. At the end of the program, you’ll receive a graduation video and educational materials to take home, so you can see how much they’ve learned and continue their success.
Will my dog have time for fun and play too?
Yes! Lodge and Learn isn’t all work. Your pup will enjoy plenty of enrichment, playtime with friends, and relaxation in our spacious, comfortable lodging areas.
What extras can I include to make my dog’s stay even better?
You can enhance your dog’s Lodge and Learn experience with add-ons like additional desserts, a relaxing bath, extra snuggle time, or even one-on-one athletic play to make their stay even more special.
What should I pack for my dog?
We recommend packing their regular food (to keep their diet consistent), any medications they need, and a favorite cuddle item like a blanket or towel. We’ll provide everything else they need to feel at home!
What happens when the Lodge and Learn program is over?
At the end of the program, we’ll have a wrap-up training session where we review and teach you what your dog has learned. This ensures you have the tools you need to keep their training strong and consistent at home. For the four-week program, we also include an at-home session to help you reinforce the training in your dog’s everyday environment.
