Pleasant Pooch offers various training programs including Board & Train, Group Training, and Day Training. For daycamp and boarding, dogs are dropped off between 7AM-10AM and picked up between 3PM-6PM.

Dogs are grouped by age, play style, and size into small play groups with designated nap times to reduce stress and prevent overstimulation. They also cater to special needs dogs, less active dogs, and dogs who dislike socializing by offering one-on-one time with staff.
