Our Approach to Dog Daycare

---

Edmonton's most-thoughtfully designed daycare. We have separate programs for dogs based on size and have extensive options for training enrichment, food enrichment or activity enrichment.

For dogs who are nervous or fearful around others or in new situations. We offer a safe place for your dog to build relationships with us and grow in confidence with others.

For dogs who become hyper-aroused or overstimulated and don't thrive in a social daycare setting, our personal play program provides your dog with one-on-one enrichment activity (agility, fetch, flirt pole, sniffaris, etc) and enrichment rest time.

Our four-week or six-week 12-day Day Train program is an ideal way to help your adolescent or adult dog hone obedience cues and responses or other challenges that you're working on at home.

Our  four-week or six-week 12-day Puppy Kindergarten is a fantastic socialization and training support program which incorporates basic training and behaviour fundamentals to help your puppy have a solid foundation both socially and for future training. 

We practice a rest and enrichment model of daycare. We have small, supervised play groups and we alternate between play and rest throughout the day. This allows us to have play groups that engage and play and which prevents dogs from becoming hyperaroused or over-stimulated.

We have a variety of play spaces and play structures to support your dog's socialization and to give them the most diverse and enriching day.

Our responsibility is to support your dog’s

ability to be awake but relaxed and to get

the reprieve from play they need to rest, charge

their social battery, and get ready for an

additional round of activity.

 We have three positive-reinforcement trainers overseeing our daycare program, and all our care attendants complete hands-on and comprehensive dog body language and behaviour training. We incorporate agility games, sniffaris, obstacle courses and other structured play and rest into every day.

Not only do we separate dogs by play style, temperament, confidence and energy, we plan our play groups by size as well. 

Dogs play with others their own size and energy level. Whether big or little, dogs enjoy the fun and safety of play partners who match them.

 Each day your dog is with us, we'll send you a detailed email update informing you of how they're doing in their play program, how they're resting, and challenges or struggles they may be having, any recommendations we might have, and, if you bring a meal for them, how and whether they ate,
