Share with us your dog's aspirations or challenges, and we will create a customized training plan and work one-on-one with you to achieve your goals. We can meet in the comfort of your home or in a nearby location around Downingtown, PA.
We have something for every dog with our diverse courses, from obedience to behavior modification and enrichment. We offer small class sizes and convenient evening sessions at Dawg Day Afternoon's facility in Glenmoore, PA.
Our mission extends beyond training to educate and support pet owners and the community through interactive demonstrations, educational workshops, public speaking engagements, and American Kennel Club Title Testing.
Coping through the final life stages and passing of a beloved pet can be a very difficult and emotional time. We are here to support you and be your companion on your grief journey.
