What's the enrolment process like for Day School?

There are four parts of the enrolment process:

1) Temperament assessment

Your dog’s behaviour will be assessed to see if he or she is suitable for Day School. If your dog is shy or has any behaviour problems, you may be advised to attend other training programmes to reach a level where he or she can be comfortable in a Day School environment.

2) Placement test

The placement tests is a session to determine which play and learning group your dog fits into. It will take about 15-30 minutes. This also serves as an introduction for you dog, so that he or she can ease into the school environment without getting overwhelmed.

Should your dog pass the initial temperament assessment and placement test, he or she will start attending day school. Do note that passing the Temperament assessment and Placement test is only half of the enrolment process. It is not a 100% guarantee of being in day school yet.

3) First day at Day School

During your training programme, your trainer will advise you on whether your dog is suitable to attend the full day, or if your dog should start off with a shorter duration of day school (so that he or she can transition to the school environment smoothly).

As your dog settles into day school, he or she can transition into attending the full day. You can either send your dog to school yourself, or engage a pet transporter to fetch your dog to school.

4) First month at Day School

Our day school teachers will monitor and assess how your dog does in school. If any behaviour challenges affecting the dynamic and safety of the classes arise during day school, we may have to re-assess your dog’s suitability for day school, or may move your dog to a more suitable class at any time.

Once this process is completed successfully, your dog will officially be a student at our day school!
