๐พ DAY SCHOOL, NOT DAYCARE. Whatโs the difference?
Meet The Academy Pup โ our enrichment-based day school experience designed to give your dog more than just a place to spend the day. ๐
At Twin Tails, we believe a great day should include a balance of learning, play, enrichment, socialization AND rest.
Instead of a traditional play-all-day daycare model, Academy days are intentionally structured. Pups learn and play in small, consistent Academy groups, allowing them to get to know their classmates, build positive relationships and become comfortable in a familiar routine. With approximately 8โ12 pups per staff member, we can provide more individual attention while thoughtfully creating groups based on each pupโs personality, play style and needs.
Throughout the day, weโll rotate through activities designed to keep both their bodies AND brains busy:
๐พ Structured social play
๐ง Puzzles & problem solving
๐พ Games & enrichment
๐ฆด Manners & everyday life skills
๐ Confidence-building activities
๐ Sniffing, sensory & exploratory play
๐ด Scheduled rest & downtime
Because sometimes being a good student means learning how to settle, relax and just hang out, too. ๐
Academy families will also receive photo updates and a monthly report card, plus an end-of-day refresh as needed before heading home.
Our goal isnโt to send home a dog who is simply exhausted from hours of nonstop play. We want to send home a pup who has had a full, enriching and well-balanced day.
๐ THE ACADEMY PUP โข $160/MONTH
This is the $40 per week gift that keeps on giving!!!!
Each Academy Pup chooses ONE set weekly schedule, so they return to the same Academy group each week:
๐ Option 1: Monday โ Full Day
OR
๐ Option 2: Wednesday โ Full Day
OR
๐ Option 3: Tuesday + Thursday โ Half Days
Full Day-
Drop-Off 7:30-9:30am
Pick-Up 3:30-5:30pm
Half Day-
Drop-Off 8:00-9:00am
Pick-Up 12:00-1:00pm
That consistency is part of what makes our day school model special โ familiar routines, familiar classmates, consistent pack leaders, and a place where your pup can truly learn, play, connect and belong.๐พ
LEARN. PLAY. CONNECT. BELONG.
