Positive dog training in Providence, RI. Day school, group classes, private lessons, and more! We have the ONLY Monday through Friday puppy program in the city!

Crossbones Dog Academy offers dog training, an innovative Puppy Day School program, and Educational Daycare in Providence, Rhode Island. Our Puppy Day School program combines training and socialization to ensure your puppy grows into a well-behaved dog who is a joy to be around. For adult dogs, we have Intensive Training Programs. Our experienced, certified professional dog trainer works with your dog one-on-one while you're at work or school. Then, meet with one of our trainers for an evening lesson to see what your dog has learned. Our Flex Classes are held 6 days a week! Attend dog training classes when it's convenient for you, and start any time. (Really. Most of our clients start within 7 days!) We also occasionally host seminars and workshops to help you train your canine companion. For more details on our programs, visit our website! We have online registration for our classes & programs.

🚧 ATTENTION: Swan Street construction next week 🚧

We will be OPEN and our building will be accessible at all times! However, the top of Swan Street where it connects to Eddy Street may be closed during construction.

To reach our end of Swan Street:
➡️ From Eddy Street, turn on to Mutual Street, then take your first left onto Devine Street.
➡️ Alternatively, the marked detour may direct you through a neighboring business’s parking lot to access Devine Street.

This map highlights both possible routes in yellow.

Construction will be taking place during morning drop-off, so please allow a little extra time, be patient, and follow all marked detour signs. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Welcome to Educational Daycare, Eni! Eni the Great Dane finished an 8 week Intensive Training Program to teach her to listen to cues consistently, and self control. That training gave her the necessary skills to transition smoothly to daycare.   She’s strong enough to just pull to whatever she wants, so she’s going on weekly training walks to continue working towards staying with us and waiting for permission. She also loves toys, and we used them to teach her to keep herself in check, no launching please!

Happy 3rd birthday Maple! 🎉🍁 Maple is a Puppy Day School alum, who now keeps the tiny group in check when they get too rowdy!

Dual-wielding treats? Not a problem for our freshly-minted Junior Dog Trainer, Nate! He passed his latest dog training test with flying colors, taking this next step in the journey towards becoming a professional dog trainer here at Crossbones. 👨‍🎓

Nate splits his time between puppy training sessions and supervising daycare playgroups, helping everyone to stay on their best behavior. Here, he’s working on group sits with some of the dogs in our Small group, encouraging them to take a break from play to stay regulated.

Pups from left: Dorie, Lexi, Clyde, Volt, & Riot!

Swipe to see just SOME of what to expect this Saturday at our Neighborhood Pet Store Day event! ➡️

We’ll also have more surprises in store, because some of the deals are SO good that the brands won’t let us share them online or in advance. They’re top secret! 🤐

We’ll also have enrichment activity stations for your friendly pup to enjoy, plus raffles, gifts, and more.

Our Community Partner for this event is Rhode Island SPCA & they’ll have a booth at our event with some cool swag, as well as a wishlist of items in our store. So if your dog already has everything they could ever need, you can shop for some pups in need!

We know the weather forecast isn’t great, but the good news is our event is entirely INDOORS. We also have VENDOR SPACE available for local businesses who would like to join us! We know that WaterFire and many local farmer’s markets are being cancelled due to the rain, and would like to extend an invitation for you to set up your booth or table inside. 🛍️

All vendor booth fees benefit RISPCA, so it’s a win-win! Please help us spread the word about this to any Providence area vendors that may be rained out. We’d love to have them join us!
