Structured Play
This is a place where lasting relationships are made.
Here, your dog will be introduced to compatible playmates based on their personality and play style. Our skilled dog daycare training staff will foster these relationships through encouragement and ensure mutual respect is maintained.
Resource guarding is never an issue with us. We do not allow any toys or items of value to enter our play rooms. This maximizes the dogs’ social time with one another and eliminates any occasions where dogs may become possessive.
Social Etiquette
Nothing ruins a relationship faster than a dog who does not respect boundaries.
Very few dogs are able to safely and effectively communicate to other dogs when they’ve had enough. Leaving it for them to “figure out” on their own can easily result in dogs escalating in the intensity of their corrections and becoming reactive.
Not only are our staff supervising play at all times, but they are also highly skilled at identifying uncomfortable body language and interfering to ensure all dogs remain respectful. Each staff member has been extensively trained to use a special pressure rod to create space and prevent unhealthy interactions between the dogs.
Run by Experts
The calibre of our staff is what makes Academy Daycare an unparalleled experience for your dogs.
Our dog day boarding facility is run by experts in canine behaviour modification. In our 12 years of running K9 Academy, our trainers have safely and successfully socialized thousands of aggressive, nervous, reactive and undersocialized dogs. We can proudly say that we have never had a dog fight or anything akin to one occur in our social groups—something very few dog daycares can say. It is because of our team’s skill that we are able to confidently integrate dogs of all temperaments into our daycare and provide them with a fulfilling social experience they would not have been able to receive elsewhere.
We are experts in understanding canine behaviour, identifying body language, training behaviour modification and administering first aid.
With our dog daycare services, you can trust that your furry friend will receive the highest level of care and enrichment in a safe and nurturing environment. We assure you that your dog will have a safe, enriching, and - above all - FUN day.

THE SPACE
Indoor: 8500 sq. ft | Outdoor: 1.5 acres
Our dog daycare training facility is divided into three different playrooms and our Day and Train space. Each playroom is comprised of dogs of similar size and temperament. We maintain a 1 person to 17 dog ratio in every playroom, and have additional staff on hand to monitor and assist as needed. The playrooms are fitted with high-durability rubber flooring to cushion and protect the dogs during play. The facility is temperature controlled with brand new heating and cooling system and is fitted with two industrial strength HVAC Air Filtration systems to circulate and purify the air throughout the facility. Each playroom is equipped with a cleaning and sanitation station for spot cleans and receives a full cleaning at the end of every day.
Our ample yard space provides each play group with tons of room to run and play during potty breaks.
