Puppy Training in Providence, RI
Congratulations!
There’s nothing quite like the joy of bringing a new puppy home.
Since 2014, we have raised over 550 puppies in our Puppy Day School program. Crossbones is Providence’s premier puppy training school!
Are you looking for a place to safely socialize and train your puppy to be the best dog he can be?
Is your puppy showing some undesirable behaviors that you want to fix?
Look no further! At Crossbones, we offer several different tiers of puppy training solutions. Our expert team of dog trainers will coach you through raising your puppy to become an outstanding adult dog you’ll enjoy for years to come.
Don’t wait for your puppy’s vaccines to be “complete!”
This well-meaning advice is now outdated. Puppies should start training as early as possible, before they are fully vaccinated.
Read the Puppy Socialization position statement by the experts: the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior.
Our programs meet or exceed the health recommendations set by AVSAB.
Our most popular & most comprehensive puppy training program!

Your puppy attends school here at our facility in Providence each weekday, playing with their friends and learning in training sessions with our staff. We work on potty training, crate training, sit, down, coming when called, walking politely on leash, greeting people politely, accepting body handling & restraint, and lying on a mat.
This all-inclusive program includes weekly report cards, weekly Puppy Teacher Conferences with one of our trainers who will coach you on what your puppy has learned, and access to our Flex Class program.

Receive one-on-one coaching from one of our certified dog trainers either in person at our facility in Providence, or remotely via Zoom. Your trainer will coach you to raise your puppy, and you follow their instructions and do the training yourself.

What Our Students Say
“Zipper has really changed and made progress – he’s much easier to be around, we are having more fun and less frustration as we learn the best ways to keep him busy, and we are finally enjoying our puppy! I know that he is enjoying class, he is excited to head out every morning!”
“These guys deliver! We brought our puppy, Rusty, to Puppy Day School and with love, patience and discipline they trained him and us! It gave Rusty a chance to socialize in a controlled environment. We get compliments on how well behaved Rusty is for such a young pup (not quite 10 months old) and are smart enough to give Spring Forth the credit. We can’t thank them enough.”
“They trained not only my puppy but also me, a first time dog owner. I liked the constant feedback I received from the staff – what are my pup’s strengths and weaknesses, what she’s working on, what I’m doing right and wrong at home, how we can help her if she’s a little slow in mastering a certain skill, etc. This is not something I can learn just by watching puppy training videos online.”
