Adelaide Dog Day School
Life is too short to have an unruly dog.
Adelaide Dog Co is located in Strathalbyn. Our Doggy Day School is a Members-only Dog Day Care & Training venue, designed to promote and practise good behaviours, educate owners and care for dogs.
Doggy Day School is a great choice for owners looking for a consistent long term lifestyle program and care for your dog.
Our Doggy Day School program operates weekly on Wednesday & Thursdays.
Dogs attend for a day of training, exercise and calm social activities. The day starts with 1:1 training for each dog, followed by place work and individual confidence building. The afternoon consists of social activities in a group environment where they learn to socialise calmly in a relaxed outdoor setting.
…..
To become an Adelaide Dog Co, Day School member, each dog will do 1 trial day to ensure they are a suitable candidate for this exclusive group.
We do not take drop ins. All dogs attending this class will be on a weekly membership to ensure the dogs are confident, relaxed and stay consistent with both our handlers and the other dogs in our care.
We are not your typical day care, we are here to teach and to help you and your dog thrive to live a better life together.
