Day Trains

Accepting Day Trains starting in June 2026!

If interested, fill out the training questionnaire to be added to our waitlist.

Day trains are perfect for dogs who would benefit from additional individualized support with a dog trainer, whose owners have busy schedules and can’t always fit in that extra training session, or for owners who just want their dog to receive additional fulfillment and engagement during the day.

Day Trains are for dogs 8 months and older.

If you are seeking puppy training, reach out to Sassafras Dog Training.

If you are seeking group classes, reach out to PNW Nice K9.

  • Typical behaviors that can be worked on in a day train may include:

    • leash walking

    • basic obedience

    • public manners

    • leash reactivity

    • recall

    • confidence building

  • An initial private lesson is required prior to starting day trains. This ensures that your dog will be a good fit and that we agree on the specific training goals.

    After the private lesson is complete:

    • We decide on a schedule

    • I pick your dog up from your home

    • I take your dog on a field trip to work on the specific training goals

    • I drop your dog off back at your house

    Day trains work best when paired with private lessons. For there to be a consistent change in your dog’s behavior, you as the human also need to understand the training and change your behavior.

    I recommend 1 private lesson for every 4 day train lessons.
