Puppy Preschool

PetSuites Puppy Preschool is designed for puppies between 3 and 6 months of age. Puppies can begin participating at 12 weeks (3 months) old and are required to enroll in Puppy Preschool when using daycare or boarding services until they transition into one of our other daycare programs at or before 6 months of age.

To help keep all puppies safe and healthy, participants must meet our age-appropriate vaccination requirements:

Puppies 3 Months Old

• Minimum of 2 DHPP (Distemper/Parvo) vaccinations

• First Canine Influenza vaccination

• Negative fecal sample

Puppies 4 Months Old

• Completed DHPP vaccination series

• First Canine Influenza vaccination

• Rabies vaccination

• Bordetella vaccination

• Negative fecal sample

Dogs 5 Months and Older

• DHPP (Distemper/Parvo)

• Rabies

• Bordetella (Canine/Kennel Cough)

Because vaccination schedules can vary during puppyhood, we recommend contacting your local PetSuites location to confirm your puppy's vaccination status and required documentation before their first visit.

A typical day at PetSuites Puppy Preschool combines supervised play, early socialization, enrichment activities, and structured rest to help your puppy build confidence and develop positive habits.

Our program includes two personalized play sessions, interactive games and toys, crate time, potty walks, and at least six outdoor breaks throughout the day. Puppies also have opportunities to practice social skills with other puppies and our pet pros while becoming familiar with new sights, sounds, and experiences.

Activities are designed around your puppy's age, developmental stage, and individual needs, balancing fun and stimulation with important rest periods.

Yes! PetSuites Puppy Preschool helps reinforce positive habits through consistent routines, supervised socialization, and age-appropriate activities.

Puppies participate in regular potty walks and crate time to help them become familiar with routines that support potty training and crate training. Supervised play sessions also give puppies opportunities to practice gentle play, appropriate social cues, and positive interactions with people and other puppies.

While Puppy Preschool supports early learning and good manners, it is not a formal obedience training program. Commands such as "Heel," "Down," and "Come" are taught through dedicated training sessions with our certified Trainers. Learn more about our dog training services.

Our trained pet pros supervise puppy preschool activities and help create a safe, positive environment where young puppies can learn and play.

Puppies participate in age-appropriate socialization and personalized play sessions designed to help them practice gentle interactions, recognize social cues, and become comfortable around other puppies and people.

Our team considers each puppy's size, temperament, confidence, and play style when guiding interactions, helping ensure activities are appropriate for their individual needs.

That's okay! Puppy preschool is designed to help young puppies build confidence through positive, age-appropriate experiences.

Our pet pros help puppies become familiar with new people, other puppies, different environments, and daily routines through supervised play, enrichment, and personalized attention.

Every puppy develops at their own pace, so our team works to create an encouraging environment that supports their individual comfort level. If you're unsure whether your puppy is ready, contact your local PetSuites to discuss their needs before enrolling.

PetSuites Puppy Preschool is specifically designed for puppies ages 3 to 6 months, with activities focused on early socialization, confidence building, puppy etiquette, and developing positive routines.

Unlike regular dog daycare, Puppy Preschool incorporates developmental activities such as crate training, frequent potty walks, supervised puppy socialization, and interactive games that encourage problem-solving and early learning.

As puppies grow, our Pet Pros can help pet parents explore appropriate daycare options that continue providing exercise, socialization, and enrichment. Learn more about our dog daycare services.

At PetSuites, our goal is to provide a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment for every guest. If your puppy needs veterinary care during their visit, our team will first try to consult with your pet's primary veterinarian. If your veterinarian is unavailable, we work with trusted local veterinary partners to help ensure your puppy receives the care they need.

To provide additional peace of mind, every guest is automatically enrolled in our PetSuites Health Care Commitment Program, which is designed to assist pet parents in the event of a qualifying incident related to their pet's visit. Contact your local resort for complete program details and eligibility requirements.

Absolutely! We welcome prospective pet parents to tour their local PetSuites, meet our team, see the accommodations, and ask questions before booking. No appointment is required. For the best tour experience, we recommend avoiding our busiest check-in and pick-up periods, typically 6:30–8 a.m. and 5–7 p.m.
