The Puppy Den

The Puppy Den is the first daycare and training center in Madison exclusively for puppies only!
(46)

The Puppy Den was created as the area's first puppy exclusive daycare and training center! Our philosophy is to treat your puppy like our very own when they come to play with us. The Puppy Den’s play floors are specially designed and structured for your individual puppy based on their age and developmental stage in their life. Unlike adult dogs, puppies are learning everything for the very first t

ime, so these first experiences are crucial for development. Our trained staff will provide constant supervision and guidance to make sure your puppy is having a fun and educational experience when they come to play! Our training classes use proven, science-based and positive-reinforcement methods to help your puppy grow up to be the best dog they can be! From Puppy Kindergarten to our All Star Program to outdoor workshops, our classes will cover the most important things for you and your puppy to know to build a strong and lasting relationship with your new best friend
Our team of puppy experts will help you through the most fun and crucial period of your pup's development - from when you bring them home until they reach about a year of age.

Here’s a fun enrichment game you can play at home – indoors - during these cold months. •Ask your dog to wait or put them in an area away from you while you use your dog’s favorite toy or favorite yummy treats and “hide” it somewhere obvious. •Release your dog, ask them to “find it” and then hunt for the treat together. •Throw a big party when your dog finds it! •Start again with a new hiding place •As your dog catches on to the game, you can choose more difficult hiding places – think under things, up on chairs, different levels of the house, etc. When the weather improves, take it outside! Check your email for more fun things to help keep your pup enriched this week at the Dog Den and Puppy Den! #thedogden #thepuppyden #thedogdentraining #enrichmentgame #dogtraining #indooractivities #hideandseek #dogenrichment #winterweatherfun
