TRAINING PROGRAMS
More than training.
An education
Great dogs aren't built in a single program. They learn, practice and mature as their world gets bigger, so our training is a pathway that grows with your dog from puppyhood to real-world adventures.
Your dog doesn't need to be perfect. They just need the right place to start.
THE DAY SCHOOL PATHWAY
Four levels. One remarkable dog.
Start → Build → Refine → Apply. Each level prepares your dog for the next, and we'll recommend when they're ready to move up.
01 START
Puppy kindergarten
Start with confidence.
The first months are about so much more than "sit". We focus on positive experiences and age-appropriate learning, so your puppy discovers that learning with people is fun
The goal: a confident young dog who's ready to learn.
02 BUILD
Foundations Day School
Build the skills that make everyday life easier.
This is where good habits become useful, everyday skills. Dogs learn to focus, communicate and make better choices, with training woven through enrichment so they still enjoy their day.
The goal: a dog who understands what's expected and has the skills to make life together more enjoyable.

03 REFINE
Advanced Day School
From knowing the skills to relying on them.
Knowing behavior in a quiet room is one thing. Doing it when life gets interesting is another. We gradually raise distractions, duration and difficulty so your dog's skills hold up when something else wants their attention.
The goal: a reliable dog who's ready to take their training beyond Fairview Boarding

WHERE SHOULD YOUR DOG BEGIN?
Training shouldn't feel like choosing something from a menu.
Tell us about your dog and what you'd love to do together. We'll recommend a starting point based on age, experience, personality and your goals. Most puppies begin with Kindergarten, most adult dogs with Foundations, and some are a better fit for Boarding School or Private Lessons.
