Maggie G.
I was very pleased with my dog's University Training program at Four Leggers for my newly adopted Yellow Lab. Fior was very patient and so knowledgeable. We received a daily written update of Dozer's training. Fior made sure to assist with how to do the commands verbally and with hand signals.
Laura L.
I highly recommend for any of your training or daycare needs. Retail store is well stocked and staff is very knowledgeable. Location is convenient. My dog loves her trainers and clearly enjoys her time with them.
Victoria W.
We started in university with our high anxiety dog and it truly changed our life. Our sweet boy went from not being able to leave the house to loving walks and everyone he meets.
The staff are always welcoming and knowledgeable answering questions and supporting through the puppy blues.

What is Four Leggers University?
Four Leggers University is a training-focused day program that combines individualized instruction, fitness, mental enrichment and thoughtfully guided social experiences. Unlike traditional daycare, University emphasizes purposeful learning and activities tailored to each dog's needs.
How is University different from daycare?
Daycare primarily focuses on supervised care, play and social opportunities. University provides a more structured educational experience, including individual training sessions, enrichment, fitness and activities designed around each dog's learning goals.
Does my dog need previous training experience?
Not necessarily! University is designed to accommodate dogs with different backgrounds, abilities and training goals. Our team will evaluate your dog's needs and help determine whether University is an appropriate fit.
What kinds of skills can my dog work on?
Training may include leash manners, recall, impulse control, polite greetings, focus, settling and other practical life skills. Your dog's training priorities are determined by their individual needs and abilities.
Does my dog have to enjoy playing with other dogs?
No. University offers individualized learning and enrichment opportunities, making it a potential option for dogs who prefer less group interaction. Social experiences are selected based on each dog's comfort level, needs and suitability for the program.
How do I enroll my dog in University?
New University students begin with an evaluation so our team can learn about their needs, training goals and suitability for the program. Following the evaluation, we'll help you choose an appropriate enrollment option.
Do I need to commit to a weekly schedule?
University offers single-day attendance and prepaid packages, allowing families to choose an option that fits their needs. We encourage consistent participation for dogs working toward specific training goals.
Will I receive updates about my dog's progress?
Yes! We provide written updates about your dog's University experience, including activities and training progress, so you can stay informed and reinforce developing skills at home.
What are University Audits?
University Audits are additional individualized training sessions that can be scheduled during an existing daycare or boarding visit. They're a convenient way to give your dog focused attention on a specific training goal without booking a full University day.
Is University appropriate for anxious or reactive dogs?
University may be beneficial for some dogs who need additional confidence building or individualized support. However, suitability depends on each dog's behavior, comfort level and needs. Our team will help determine whether University or another training program would be the best starting point.
