Certified Los Angeles dog trainer Caroline Wu, CPDT-KA clicker training German Shepherd in AKC Community Canine class at Den Urban Dog Retreat

Day Training Classes

Drop-off training & enrichment classes daily.

WuFF Dog Training has partnered with DEN Urban Dog Retreat to offer members-only, small-group classes to enrich your dog’s daycare experience. Located in Northeast Los Angeles, DEN is Los Angeles’ premier wellness center for dogs. With over 10,500 sq. ft. of enlightened indoor & outdoor space, we are proud to offer a rotating schedule of positive reinforcement training & enrichment classes, from basic to advanced obedience & recreational sports. Dogs take turns learning & playing with each other for a well-rounded day training experience while you’re away.

A daycare assessment is required for all dogs attending class. Dogs must be sociable with dogs, people & new environments. Space is limited to ensure we can connect with each dog & foster their unique talents.

If you need support for reactivity, aggression, fear, resource guarding, or separation anxiety, or if you have an under-vaccinated puppy, please see Private Training options instead.
