Puppy Program
A program designed just for puppies
Our puppy program is recommended for dogs ages 8 weeks to 6 months. This is a crucial age for your dog's development, and we want to make sure that The Downtown Paw does everything we can to help your new puppy get their best start.
How is the Puppy Program different than daycare?
Each daycare visit includes the following:
- Basic Obedience: We work on basic manners with your puppy when they're in daycare. We teach them to sit before we open gates/doors, sit and stay before meals and treats, and that open doors are not an open invitation to pass through them.
- Boundaries/Socialization: Puppies and younger dogs are paired with dogs in group who can help teach them manners when playing (when they bite too hard or are being overly playful). Safe corrections from older dogs are more significant to them than our handlers telling them the same thing. Our tiny puppies wait until roughly four months before being introduced to any larger group of dogs.
- Nap Time: Puppies still need roughly 18 hours of sleep per day. Puppies are removed from group and given multiple naps time throughout the day to ensure they're getting sufficient sleep.
- Grooming: Puppies are put through a mock groom during the day where they get use to the sound of the clippers, the bath, the blow dryer, nail trims and more! This makes their first actual a groom a breeze and helps to positively associate your dog with grooming!
