Pup Club utilizes positive reinforcement training methods. Positive reinforcement uses a rewards-based system of training, highlighting the use of treats, praise, toys, or anything a dog enjoys. This type of training focuses on capturing moments in which a pup performs desirable behaviors by marking and rewarding that behavior.
By positively reinforcing a behavior with a reward, the behavior is likely to occur again. Positive reinforcement is one of the best ways to shape and change a dog’s behavior. The trainer will help pet parents in breaking down behaviors and working on timing so that their pup understands what they did right and makes the connection that performing certain behaviors gets them paid well!
Puppy 1 is a 6-week long training and socialization program for puppies 10-20 weeks old. This program is a combination of day training and a group class which means your puppy will attend two classes during the week for 3 hours and then you will come with your puppy for a 1 hour class on Sundays.
This program covers a variety of foundational behaviors including sit, down, leave it, drop it, leash walking, mat work, and more! We will cover topics like mouthing and biting, polite greetings, socialization, enrichment, and help answer any puppy questions you may have.

We require that all puppies and dogs be up-to-date on all age-appropriate vaccinations including Bordetella and DHLPP. We also require a negative fecal test before your pup’s first day.
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.
Pups 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). For dogs 6 months or older, our Daycare does have a 6 month policy for dogs to be spayed or neutered in order to attend.

Daisy is a positive reinforcement and force-free trainer that
has been working professionally with animals since 2018 and switched to behavior and training in 2022. Daisy is actively working toward getting her certification in dog training from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers.
Daisy graduated from Purdue University with a Master of Science in educational psychology. She spent the last two years learning about behavior and learning theory as it pertains to animal behavior application. While finishing her master’s program, she worked for an animal care facility that offered training, walking, grooming, and pet sitting. She was able to work under several trainers and get hands-on experience understanding behavior and training.
After Daisy moved to the Indianapolis area, she began working at Pup Club and has helped train over 100 puppies. She is constantly learning and developing new skills with each pup she trains and each client interaction she has. She has worked with dogs and clients through private lessons, day training, and group classes. Daisy looks forward to growing this training program and honing her skills in behavior and training with every pup she meets!
