JUNIOR VARSITY PROGRAM

Because teen dogs need more than just playtime — they need purpose. 

Adolescence is one of the most challenging stages in your dog’s life.
Between the ages of 6 to 24 months, pups often go through a “teenage” phase where their energy skyrockets, listening skills vanish, and confidence may either plummet or overflow. That’s where our Junior Varsity Program comes in.

What is the Junior Varsity Program?

The JV Program is a specialized enrichment and training-based daycare track for adolescent dogs. We combine structured play, supervised socialization, and targeted learning to help your pup grow into a well-mannered, confident adult dog — all while still getting the exercise and fun they crave.

This isn’t obedience school. It’s real-world training through fun, purpose-driven daycare.

Program Focus Areas:

• Polite Greetings – Reduce jumping and over-excitement when meeting new people

• Impulse Control – Teach your pup to pause and think before reacting

• Confidence Building – For shy or unsure pups navigating a busy world

• Leash Manners – Practice calm walking and controlled movement

• Social Skills – Learn how to play nicely and respect boundaries

• Focus Around Distractions – Reinforce attention even in high-energy environments
