Vaccination Requirements

The health and safety of every dog in our care is our highest priority. Because we offer training,structured daycare, and boarding in a group setting, all dogs must meet our vaccination requirements prior to attendance.

Proof of current vaccinations from a licensed veterinarian is required before your dog’s first visit.

Required Vaccinations (Adult Dogs)

The following vaccines are mandatory for participation in training, daycare, or boarding:

Vaccines must be current according to your veterinarian’s recommended schedule.

Puppy Vaccination Requirements

We love working with puppies and believe early training is essential. Because puppies are more vulnerable to illness, we have specific vaccination guidelines in place.

Puppies Under 16 Weeks

Puppies may begin training or structured programs once they have:

Puppies must remain on schedule with their booster series while enrolled in our programs.

Puppies 16 Weeks and Older

By 16 weeks of age (or as directed by your veterinarian), puppies must have:

We reserve the right to delay group daycare or boarding participation if a puppy has not completed their core vaccine series

Puppy Socialization & Safety

We understand that some owners worry about starting training before a puppy’s vaccine series is complete. However, leading veterinary and behavioral organizations agree that the benefits of early, controlled socialization far outweigh the risks when proper safety protocols are followed.

The critical socialization window closes around 16 weeks of age. Delaying structured exposure during this period can increase the risk of fear, anxiety, and behavior challenges later in life.

To ensure safety, we:

Require proof of vaccines in progress
Maintain a clean, sanitized training environment
Carefully screen participating dogs
Structure interactions to prevent overwhelm
Avoid high-risk environments such as public dog parks

Our goal is to provide safe, positive learning experiences that support healthy development while maintaining appropriate health standards.

Strongly Recommended Vaccinations

While not required, the following vaccines are strongly recommended—especially for dogs who participate in social settings or spend time outdoors:
