Question on Google
How long do the pups spend crated for a 4 hour stay ?

It depends on the puppy. Play time is 5min- 15min each time and they play several times. If you sign up for dayschool it includes 10min of B&B pup club which is a course they do by themselves and they also get 30min of training. If they are shy or get overwhelmed at first they come out often but get several brakes. We are installing cameras here soon. I hope this helps.

Question on Google
What days are your classes?

They have classes every day, just depends on what classes your looking for. On their website, if you go to register now it shows all upcoming classes with the dates, times and prices. If there is a class you want that you don't see in their upcoming classes list, let them know, you could be the one more person they were waiting for to express interest before offering that class.

House of Dog clearly only hires people who really really care about dogs. We've been using them for boarding and daycare for years and, I will admit, we haven't had the easiest dogs. Our old dog was both dog-reactive and extremely stubborn and our current dog is rambunctious and very energetic. But with both dogs they've shown them nothing but love, care, and professionalism. I wouldn't take my pup anywhere else.

Brian is an excellent trainer, met with Brian for growl class (for reactive dog). I would say Brian is very good at reading our dogs. We ended up having to be further away from the class because of my dog being to reactive, but he still gave us some exercises and came to check on us. Brian recommended that we sign up for a private lesson which we will do. The trainer I have met so far from House of Dog are all great, I wish I had gone to them sooner, but I will be using them going toward. They are all experienced and know what dogs need.
