Day Training- LIFE Program
There are no quick fixes when it comes to raising a dog. Raising a calm, well-mannered and emotionally sound family dog is about consistency, teaching manners, clear communication, and having an enriching life.
LIFE Stages Program!
Learning is Forever Exciting
While you are at work, The Family Fido Fun Farm offers a structured day with Family Fido team members. Each day that your dog attends we tailor their individual training needs with activities with interactive learning opportunities based on each individual dog in front of us. Some dogs enjoy group play, others enjoy and benefit greatly from just engaging with just one other dog. Each dog's day looks a bit different depending on their needs and likes, but generally rotates between play, training, and enrichment sessions.
We have 3 outdoor play areas, 1 large inside area plus a smaller inside yard, as well as 4 enrichment pods. Enrichment pods are filled with food puzzles and various challenges or activities that require them to use their brain to get the ultimate jackpot. Some dogs enjoy food, others like scent, and some enjoy shredding and chewing!
During training sessions, our trainer, Jessica Smidt CVT KPA-CTP, works with your dog on developing skills while gaining confidence and reliability of behaviors. All training seasons are pre-planned with reasonable, age specific goals in mind. Please schedule your LIFE program training goals here.
As a participant, your dog will experience daily activities that include the following; play, nature walks, enrichment pods, age specific training, grooming and vet care desensitization, and rest! Upon purchasing your first 2 months, you will be contacted by our trainers to identify goals and a training plan for your program.

For best success we require all dogs to start with 8 weeks (16 days). Upon completing 8 days of the LIFE program, additional days will be added upon training complexity and goals. Options after initial 8 weeks are basic daycare (no individual training sessions) or full LIFE program one to 3 days a week.
