👑 THE ROYAL PUPPY ACADEMY
Exclusively at Poochie Palace - Raising Happy, Confident & Well-Mannered Puppies
Puppyhood Only Happens Once — Let's Get It Right.
The first few months of your puppy's life are some of the most important.
The experiences they have during this critical stage help shape the dog
they will become for years to come.
At Poochie Palace, our Royal Puppy Academy is more than simply daycare.
It is an opportunity for your puppy to learn, socialize, build confidence, and
develop important life skills while being part of our regular daycare family.
Whether your puppy is full of endless energy, learning how to interact with
other dogs, or just beginning to explore the world around them, our experienced
team is here to help guide them every step of the way.
Our goal isn't simply to tire your puppy out—it's to help raise a happy, confident, and well-mannered companion while making every visit a positive learning experience.
👑 What Makes the Royal Puppy Academy Different?
Your puppy doesn't spend their day separated from the rest of our daycare dogs.
Instead, puppies enrolled in the Royal Puppy Academy become an active part of our Poochie Palace daycare family, where they learn and socialize alongside appropriately matched dogs throughout the day.
We believe puppies can learn valuable social skills from both other puppies and calm, well-mannered adult dogs. These interactions can help puppies learn appropriate play, communication, boundaries, and confidence.
SAFETY IS ALWAYS OUR PRIORITY
We carefully place every dog into a play group based on their:
✔ Size
✔ Temperament
✔ Confidence Level
✔ Play Style
✔ Energy Level
Your puppy will initially spend time with our smaller-dog group, which may include other puppies and appropriately matched smaller adult dogs weighing approximately 35–40 pounds or less.
As your puppy grows in size, confidence, and maturity, our experienced team will determine when it is appropriate to move them into another play group.
Small Dogs Stay With Small Dogs. Larger Dogs Stay With Larger Dogs.
We never mix small dogs with large dogs.
We do not simply place a puppy into a different group because of their age or because they have reached a particular weight. Every puppy is evaluated individually, and our team considers their overall development, personality, confidence, and play style when determining the best group for them.
This allows your puppy to enjoy safe, positive, and appropriate social experiences while growing alongside the Poochie Pack.
👑 What Your Puppy Will Learn
Our Royal Puppy Academy focuses on helping puppies develop lifelong skills through positive experiences.
Throughout their time with us, your puppy will have opportunities to develop:
✔ Healthy socialization skills
✔ Confidence in new environments
✔ Appropriate play with other dogs
✔ Positive interactions with people
✔ Good manners and polite behavior
✔ Better control of jumping and mouthy behaviors
✔ Healthy ways to burn puppy energy
✔ Exposure to everyday sights, sounds, and experiences

👑 Is the Royal Puppy Academy Right for Your Puppy?
Our program may be a great fit for puppies that:
• Have endless puppy energy
• Jump on everyone they meet
• Need healthy socialization
• Are shy or lacking confidence
• Get bored easily at home
• Are learning basic manners
• Need positive exposure to grooming and handling

If you answered YES to any of the above, the Royal Puppy Academy may be the perfect fit for your puppy!
👑 Why Early Socialization Matters
The first few months of your puppy's life are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The habits, confidence, and social skills developed during puppyhood can influence how your dog interacts with the world throughout their life.
Proper socialization helps puppies become happier, more confident, and better-adjusted adult dogs.
At Poochie Palace, we provide daily opportunities for puppies to learn, explore, play, interact with people, and develop healthy relationships with other dogs—all while being carefully supervised by our experienced team.
We believe every puppy deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.

Basic Training & Family Companion Course
Socialization is only part of raising an amazing dog.
That's why we also offer our Basic Training & Family Companion Course, held every Monday evening at 6:15 PM.
This 6-week course is offered for an additional fee and is designed for the entire family to participate alongside their puppy. Because training isn't just about teaching your puppy commands—it's about teaching you how to communicate with your puppy, set boundaries, build confidence, and create consistency at home.
You Only Get One Chance to Raise Your Puppy
Your puppy won't automatically know how to become a wonderful family companion.
They need guidance, consistency, patience, and positive training—and so do their humans!
During our Basic Training & Family Companion Course, you and your puppy will work together while learning practical skills that you can continue using at home every day.
Together, you and your puppy will build:
✔ Communication
✔ Confidence
✔ Good manners
✔ Basic obedience
✔ Consistency
✔ A stronger family bond
Our goal is to give your entire family the tools and knowledge needed to help your puppy grow into a happy, confident, well-mannered family companion.

Your Puppy Learns. Your Family Learns. You Grow Together.
👑 When Can My Puppy Join?
Your puppy may begin the Royal Puppy Academy once they have:
✔ Received all age-appropriate required vaccinations
✔ Successfully completed their initial Trial Day Evaluation
✔ Been approved by our staff for group play
We encourage families to begin safe, positive socialization as early as possible.
Once your puppy is ready, they'll have the opportunity to learn, play, socialize, build confidence, and grow alongside other appropriately matched dogs.
👑 Growing the Poochie Pack
As your puppy grows, so do their size, confidence, maturity, and social needs.
While enrolled in the Royal Puppy Academy, your puppy is already an active member of the Poochie Palace daycare family. They will continue attending daycare, playing, learning, and socializing with appropriately matched dogs throughout their development.
Our experienced team continually observes each puppy and adjusts their play group as needed.
As your puppy grows, they may move from our smaller-dog play group into a larger-dog play group when we feel they are ready based on their:
✔ Size
✔ Maturity
✔ Confidence
✔ Temperament
✔ Play Style
We never simply move a puppy into a group because they have reached a certain age. Every puppy is different, and our team takes the time to determine what environment is safest and most beneficial for each individual dog.
The goal is to provide your puppy with the right social experiences at every stage of development while allowing them to remain an active and happy member of the Poochie Pack.
Your puppy doesn't graduate from the Royal Puppy Academy—they simply grow with us.
👑 Program Requirements
To participate in the Royal Puppy Academy, puppies must:
✔ Meet our vaccination requirements
✔ Successfully complete an initial Trial Day Evaluation
✔ Be healthy and free of contagious illness
✔ Demonstrate behavior appropriate for supervised group play
For the safety and well-being of every dog in our care, enrollment and continued participation are determined by the Poochie Palace team.
