Gemini Dogs University

Individualized day training with our CPDT-KA and KPA-CTP certified trainers to build confidence, sociability, impulse control, and focus.

Day Training

We at Gemini Dogs have always believed that you are the best trainer for your dog, but sometimes you need professional help to get results. That is why we have created the Gemini Dogs University Day Training Program.

The Gemini Dogs day training program is a great alternative to a traditional board-and-train because you still get to enjoy your dog at home. It's truly the best of both worlds!

Drop them off with us for 4 hours and we will teach your dog new skills (as well as practice and perfect old ones) and return a mentally and physically tired (and smarter!) pup to you at the end of the day.

Gemini Dogs University takes place in our Gemini Dogs University classroom and dogs are trained in and around the Gemini Dogs facility.  

At "school", your dog will work with our CPDT-KA and KPA-CTP certified trainers to build confidence, sociability, impulse control, and focus. Your dog will have a specially-tailored, individualized learning plan.

Choose from one of our 4 "Majors" and add on an optional "Minor".

The school day runs from 9am-5pm Monday through Friday. Slots are available from 9am-1pm, 11am-3pm, or 1-5pm.

Late pick up or early drop off may be requested, but require prior approval.

*Please leave your dog in the car and sign in at front desk when you drop off your dog for University.*

Ready to Sign Up?

Fill out our registration form and book an intake evaluation below. Enrollment is limited.

Once your dog has attended a University Evaluation, you will be given the password to the client portal where you can book Freshman Orientation, University days, and Parent-Teacher Conferences, and purchase Degree Packages.

Does your pup already do daycare or boarding with us? You can skip the evaluation and book an audit session here. Auditing is a great way to add a little extra mental or physical exercise to your dog's daycare or boarding stay. We can work on calm behavior coming in/out of the daycare, go for a structured walk, work on a specific issue, or even introduce them to agility equipment! 

Intake Evaluations cost $20.
