Day School
Structured daily training built around your schedule, your goals and the dog in front of you.
This is not daycare or a fancy dog walker. This is real training without the extra time commitment.
Calm, confident dogs are built in real world environments. Your dog is picked up daily, worked with, educated, socialized and trained in a controlled, low arousal environment. They come home to you mentally and physically fulfilled, and you get the tools to continue building on their daily lessons.
2 and 4 week packages available. Day school slots are extremely limited. Pickup and Drop-off included. Book yours now.
This is the best thing you can do for a dog who would normally have to be left at home in a crate.
Not a fancy dog walker. Not a “drop-off and hope” daycare. An integrated, positive reinforcement training curriculum - and you don’t even have to fit pickups/dropoffs into your busy schedule.

A few honest notes…
Capacity is strictly limited. I take very few Day School clients at a time — the program only works as designed if your dog actually has my attention. When spots are full, we have an active waitlist I would be happy to add your dog to.
Pickup and dropoff within approximately 15 miles of Alexandria, VA included with your package. Confirm your address at inquiry.
Payment plans and rescue adopter rates available — ask when you reach out.

What Clients Are Saying
Kayla was such a phenomenal trainer to work with. Really solid training that helped us and our service dog pass the public access test. I would highly recommend Sonoran Canine Co. to anyone needing a great trainer to work alongside them.
— Jane I
Kayla’s calm, conscientious approach was really important for our dog who was working through fear and anxiety. She was able to gain her trust on the first day enough to eat out of her hand and play with her in the yard (she doesn’t let anyone do this other than family members). She gave us a lot of skills to continue working that have been helping our dog a ton so far.
