Pup Club is a training program for puppies 10-18 weeks old. Puppies will attend two half days a week for 6 weeks and owners will attend a weekly training session to help reinforce their pup’s new skills. Pup Club trainers will use only positive reinforcement and treat rewards to help your puppy learn.
Pup Club offers a unique training opportunity for young puppies. Your fur baby will leave the program learning a variety of foundational skills. During their time in Pup Club, puppies will also receive supervised socialization and group play. They will have the opportunity to develop social skills, learn bite inhibition, and productively release energy.
Puppies must be between 10 and 18 weeks old on their first day of Pup Club. Puppies must be up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines (including Bordetella and Canine Influenza) and have a negative fecal test for any parasites.
Puppies will be enrolled in either a morning or afternoon session:
Morning session: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Afternoon session: 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Puppies will have multiple training sessions and supervised play groups during their scheduled time. Puppies will be regularly walked outside to help with house training. Puppies MUST be promptly picked up at the end of their session OR they can attend Daycare at Club Canine before or after Pup Club (1/2 day Daycare charges apply).

Derra is a certified dog trainer through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. She practices positive reinforcement and fear free training methods. She has been working with animals since 2013 and has been working specifically with behavior and training since 2018.
Derra graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Shortly after graduation, she began working at the local humane society where she was introduced to the world of animal welfare and spent the majority of her two years there evaluating and training the dogs. Life took her to Colorado for several years where she also worked at a humane society in the behavior department. In the four years she was there, she oversaw many behavior programs and was responsible for evaluating, training, and determining the placement for the most challenging behavior cases, including fearful, reactive, high arousal, and aggressive animals.
Derra transitioned to pet dog training in 2020 and has since worked with dogs of all ages and behaviors ranging from basic puppy obedience to highly reactive dogs. She has worked with dogs and clients through assessments, private lessons, day training, and teaching group classes. She has a high level of experience with reading canine body language and assessing dog to dog interactions, as well as knowing the stages of puppy development and how to help clients better understand their dog’s needs. Derra is very excited to be at Pup Club and is looking forward to all of the wonderful puppies she will get to meet!
