Level up your Doggy Day care with our

Dog Day School

Because life’s too short to have a dog that’s hard to handle.

Located in Strathalbyn, our Doggy Day School is a Members-only Doggy 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 a Wednesday.

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, Doggy 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.

Its time to create change..

    • From puppies to dogs - this is suitable for all ages.

    • Dogs who struggle with over-excitement

    • Owners who are time-poor but committed to training

    • Dogs that get overstimulated easily

    • Owners wanting consistency between private sessions

    Although there will be social time, and day full of fun, this is not an unstructured play-based service.

    It suits owners who value:

    • Education over quick fixes

    • Long-term behaviour change

    • Calm confidence in their dog

  • Owners that are not committed

    Owners wanting a ‘quick fix’

    Owners wanting us to do all of the training for them. (We can do it when we are there, but not in between sessions)

    Owners that think socialising means meeting and befriending every dog

    Owners that don’t want a better behaved dog

    • Small, intentionally selected groups

    • Structured training sessions throughout the day - Mental and physical stimulation.

    • Calm, guided social exposure

    • Rest, enrichment and decompression

    • Professional handling at all times

    Training focuses on practical skills such as loose lead walking, focus & engagement, impulse control, place command and appropriate social behaviour.

  • This is a weekly OR fortnightly commitment on a Wednesday, paid via direct debit.

    Drop off at our Strathalbyn property on the way to work or school and pick them up in the afternoon.

    For Strathalbyn locals, we can organise a drop off service for an additional fee.
