Day Training Overview
Whether you want to be able to take your dog anywhere or you want your dog to be trusted off leash, Day Training is whatever you need it to be! Day Training allows owners to drop off their dogs at Skiplyn Kennels to be introduced to training equipment, and methods by a professional, experienced team of trainers.
We always start with the basics of obedience such as loose leash walking, sit and down stay, place command and off leash recall. On top of the teaching the basics, our program is very customizable, allowing us to help you overcome your unique challenges, and work towards your specific training goals. The program is offered in 2, 4 and 6-week options.
How the program works
Program participants drop off their dog to Skiplyn Kennels every weekday at 12:00 PM, and pick them up at the end of the day, generally between 5 - 9 PM. Each Friday during the program, dog owners attend a private training session where they learn what the dog has been taught and how to apply those new skills to their life! During the first week of the program, you’ll simply drop off and pick up your dog, and on Friday, you’ll be introduced to the e-collar and its functions. During the following week(s), dog owners practice their new skills by participating in various evening group classes to deepen their understanding of the training.
Program participants are also invited to a private Facebook group, where trainers frequently share daily training videos so owners can keep track of their dog’s progress, and better understand what they are learning throughout the program.

"We enrolled in the 2 week day training program, as I was overwhelmed and couldn’t pick a starting point. Within a few sessions my boy was less anxious and more confident. The experience is life changing for both of us. "

"After just two weeks of drop-off e-collar training, my dog remains the same cuddly and funny companion, but now he is incredibly well-behaved too. The peace of mind I have gained, along with the exceptional support I continue to receive from Skiplyn even after the course, is simply unparalleled."
