Testimonials
“The simply the best doggo expert in all of Amsterdam! I love staying with Kai for daycare, walks and overnight sleepovers. I always come home relaxed after all the fun and it means my hoomans can chill after a long day working and have quality time with me! Come and stay with Kai too and we can be dog buddies! Lots of licks and snuggles.”

Services we offer
Training
1 Hour
Flexible scheduling
Designed to help your dog succeed in a positive learning environment
Puppy/Dog Training Basics
Training teaches pups and their humans how to listen and understand each other, and teaches pups how to be independent in their day-to-day lives. Basic cues include: sit, down, stay, off, and come.
Clicker and bench training are recommended
For puppiesa and new rescue dogs this training also includes name recognition, collar & harness wearing skills, and some socialization training
Adolescent Review Training
Adolescent dogs will push your limits, test the boundaries, and 'talk back' but they also love using their brains, playing fun games, and engaging with their humans in positive ways. In this training we created the perfect space for your dog to review the basics as they grow into an adult.
Puppies: 2 years and younger
Adolescents: 1.5 - 3.5 years
Leash Walking Training
Learning to walk on a leash is an important skill for dogs to have. This beginner training is accessible to dogs of all ages.
Advanced Walking Skills
In this advanced training we address helping dogs walk nearby while off lead, perfecting distance cues, and techniques for walking in packs, and more.
The Barking Intervention
Dogs have a lot to say and to share with us, though sometimes their barking does more harm than good. This training addresses the natural response dogs have to bark. We teach them about their voice and how to use it (and not use it).
Individualized Training
Do you not see the training type you're looking for in our packaged deals? Then opt for Individualized training. Here we assess your needs and the needs and behaviors of your pup and build a plan that meets everyone where they're at. Some examples include
+ Extra socialization and desensitization training
+ Addressing excessive behaviors
+ Learning to climb stairs
+ Walking with a child/teen
+ Riding in a bicycle
+ And more.
Advanced Training Techniques
Agility, Talking Dogs (teach your dog to learn basic language and answer yes/no questions), Service task work and emotional support work (for dogs already in service) for disabled caregivers.Looking for Service Dog Consultations?

6-10 sessions: 5% off

Enrichment
25-35 minutes
This session is focused on cognitive and sensory engagement. With a combination of sniffing and leisurely walking, your dog will also have a chance to sit and watch the world if desired. This is great for parents who don't want to stand around while their dog takes their time.
Exercise
45-70 minutes
This session is focused on physical needs being met. This is a great walk for dogs that want to walk-walk-walk and who like to engage their physical bodies more than a leisurely sniff. This is a great option for parents who don't want to walk 2+ km with their dog every-single-time.
jogging
35-45 minutes
Though these sessions are not a jog the entire time, they are more physically engaging with interval and pacing training. Jogging sessions may end with activities from either the Enrichment or the Exercise sessions.
Quick
15-20 minutes
We provide a short walk in a nearby park, or let your pup out to your private garden where applicable. This is great for a first or last pee-break, or for a moment when you're held up by NS and your dog will not be able to hold it until you're home.
indoor
15-60 minutes
We will play with your pup, engage in some simple training games, feed where applicable, and spend some extra time snuggling. These visits are possible in 15 minute increments and up to 1 hour; great for dogs that need some extra care but aren't in need of Daycare.
Extended Care Services

We offer 1-2 hour visits to spend time with your fluffy friends for feeding, playtime, and mild grooming such as brushing and nail clipping. For longer stays away, we also offer cleaning of your feline's and litterbox at no additional charge.
Training Consultations
These consultations to help you with specific questions about your dog. Training consultations are 30 minutes, and generally take place via Zoom.
This is great for folks that are mostly good at working with their own dog, but have more than a few questions, or are stuck on something specifically. Most times, there is little to no 1-1 interaction between your dog and us.
