Dogs don't come with instructions, but we have the secret decoder ring

Watch your land shark learn to negotiate, play, and grow confidence. And besides a tired pup, you get a crash course in reading dog body language. Our team supervises and guides these off-leash socialization sessions for dogs 10 weeks - to 5 months in our city studios or indoors/outdoors on our farm trails. Includes 30-minute guided socialization sessions and access to our exclusive Puppy Development Guides.

Our Foundation classes for Puppies under 6 months or Knuckleheads over 6 months meet weekly for 4 weeks and include curated online resources and our Community Forum.

Graduates can continue learning with our Real Deal-focused Classes to dial in on Leash Walking, Leave it, Play & Place, Agility, Sidewalk Skills, or Trail manners and Scent work.

Our 1:1 lesson programs are curated to dial in on better understanding your dog, creating clarity in the communication and coaching you to implement with success.

You can opt in for a series of lessons or our Ultimate Programs which combine group learning classes and private lessons. Available at all locations.

City Dog Day School is the game-changer for busy urban dog owners. Drop your pup off, and we’ll handle the heavy lifting—building real-world skills while you go about your day. By evening, you’ll have a better-behaved dog ready to relax and cuddle. Plus, we’ll keep you in the loop with 1:1 lessons so you can keep the progress rolling.

Anti-cookie-cutter. Our Boarding School is immersive, real-life training in action. Your dog lives and learns in a structured, enriching environment at our private farm—where training isn’t just reps in a room, but real-world skill-building on hikes, field trips, and everyday moments. We bridge the gap between training and real life—so when your dog comes home, they’re not just “trained.” They’re fluent in living with you.

Dogs aren’t meant to just “exist” in —they’re built for movement, exploration, and real experiences. That’s where Farm Dog® comes in.

We take city and suburban pups out of the daily grind and into a biologically fulfilling adventure—hiking, sniffing, romping, and just being dogs. Safely transported from our bus stops in Old City and East Falls to our private fenced farm, or dropped off locally, they get the kind of day that satisfies their instincts and brings out their best behavior at home.
