    A Day In The Life of Puppy Preschool<\/h4>\n

    Drop Off\/Open Play:<\/strong> As puppies are dropped off, they will enjoy a couple of hours of open playtime with their BFFFs (Best Furry Friends Forever) and learning good behavior as they are taught to not jump, bark or nip.<\/p>\n

    Break Time:<\/strong> Puppies will be crated for a one-hour rest to calm them from the excitement of playing with their BFFFs and help them learn quiet behavior.<\/p>\n

    Structured Play:<\/strong> Puppies will engage in a new activity every 30 minutes including follow the leader, collar desensitization, agility courses, bubbles and more. The puppies will also engage in enrichment activities to introduce them to situations they will encounter in the real world, including hearing different sounds, smelling new scents and seeing new things.<\/p>\n

    Nap Time:<\/strong> All that education and fun in the morning will tire the puppies. To have them ready for more learning in the afternoon, they\u2019ll enjoy lunch or a healthy treat while resting in their home-style crates.<\/p>\n

    Open Play: <\/strong>Puppies will be free to run and play around the playroom with the other puppies for two hours.<\/p>\n

    Structured Play: <\/strong>The puppies will continue engaging in more activities including walking on a leash, water playtime, playing with toys and learning commands in addition to the enrichment activities.<\/p>\n

    Pick up\/Open Play: <\/strong>After a full day of learning, puppies will enjoy open play until they are reunited with their pet parent.<\/p>\n
