All Day Prep School
The smart owners’ alternative to doggy daycare Huntington Beach
4-12-weeks Intensive Programs
For adolescent dogs who are 20 weeks – 18 months
You’ve had your dog for a while now, and you’re likely in the teenage phase, with challenges like jumping, barking, pulling on the leash, running away and not coming back, and still having potty accidents.
You really thought you’d be further along by now, and if you’re honest, your dog’s behavior is creating some family stress, and they are getting bigger and less easy to manage.
Adolescent dogs are dopamine junkies. Their pre-frontal cortex is still developing, and they are brilliant at finding ways to feel stimulated, ways we often don’t like!
It’s the most challenging phase to weather as a pet parent because impulsivity is high, emotional regulation is low, decision-making is poor, and common sense is non-existent!
What’s wrong
with doggy daycare?
At this point, many owners turn to doggy daycare in Huntington Beach to relieve the stress. What they don’t know is that daycare is extremely difficult and expensive to execute well, and most places are profit-led and well-being-poor.
The result is an overcrowded, high-stress environment with huge safety risks and an even more significant downside…
At best, your teenage dog is exposed to bad manners, intolerant older dogs, bullying thugs, and spends the day practicing the bad habits you hate – and learning even more.
At worst, your dog develops defensive behaviors (like growling and snapping) as they try to keep themselves safe or, worse still, is the victim of an attack.
Punishment and isolation deal with Problems and bad behavior; there is no scheduled rest, intellectual stimulation, insufficient space, or skilled observation or intervention to support any dog’s best interests.
Worst of all – owners of daycare dogs experience a dog who looks excited to arrive at daycare (due to overarousal) and seems to give them an untroubled evening (as their dog recovers from a stressful day of no rest). Hence, they remain unaware of the danger their dog is exposed to every day.

Your dog will learn…
The Foundation Skills
The foundational skills are the core behaviors your dog needs to learn to succeed in our world. These give you safety, reliability, peace of mind, and excellent behavior your friends will envy.
You will have a dog who can pay attention to you, understand what you want, settle calmly whenever you need them to, and come back when you call, unlocking trust, freedom, and a dog you are crazy proud of!
Sit, down, wait, leave it, and release – under distraction
Great Habits
Great habits are about nurturing healthy choices that optimize your dog’s and your family’s everyday experience. They ensure that meeting new dogs and people is enjoyable and well-mannered, vet trips and grooming are easy, and traveling with your dog to new places is a joy. Great habits unlock fun, inclusion, and adventure!
Develop a healthy play style
Emotional Development
With a heavy focus on impulse control during the teenage phase, emotional development ensures that the brain and broader nervous system that controls your dog’s choices are optimized for calm, thoughtfulness, and good decisions.
It ensures your dog can resist temptation, tolerate boredom, self-soothe, stay focused under distraction, and respond rather than react to bad experiences.
Focus under distraction
Fulfilment & Games
Nurturing our dog’s intellectual development has never been more critical than in the teenage phase.
Showing your dogs how to put that vibrant brain to great use rather than become self-employed in a job of their own choosing, changes the game for your relationship. Building strong self-belief through play and fun helps create a dog who can problem-solve and keep trying even when things get tricky.
Deliberately creating play, fun, and stimulation allows the development of an ‘off switch’ so they can also switch off and rest! Intellectual stimulation also means teaching your dog and you how to satisfy their breed’s natural desires for the ultimate fulfillment and a happy dog.
