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.

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. These run the first 3 Saturdays of the month at 10 AM. Each enrollment fee covers the 2 required sessions with the option to join more based on the trainer's advice.

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.

"So grateful for Paws Pet Resort Puppy University! The trainers and staff are fantastic and we learned so much right along with our pup! So worth the investment and time if you want a well behaved dog" - Lucy's Owner, Shauna.

"We could talk about Paws Pet Resort all day and will never stop recommending them. The staff and trainers are some of the most amazing people you will ever meet and we knew that our puppy, Finn, was in the best of hands when it came to his training and care. At 8 weeks old, we decided to enroll Finn in Puppy University, which was the best decision we ever made and completely worth it! He not only learned basic commands but was also crate and potty trained and was desensitized to a wide arrange of new environments, including other dogs, people, grooming, and loud noises. We are just so happy and privileged to be a part of this wonderful community!" -Finn's Owners, Shanya and Nick.

"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.
