Airdrie Puppy Pals

Dog Daycare and Dog Training

Welcome

Welcome to Airdrie Puppy Pals. Located in Airdrie, Alberta, Canada, we are an award-winning, local, family-owned dog Wellness Center offering Dog Daycare and Dog Training. Over the last ten years, through the love and support of our community, Airdrie Puppy Pals has grown from a home-based business to the 13,000-square-foot facility we are today.

Dog Daycare

We proudly offer a Dog Daycare program that focuses on building strong relationship and supporting the individual dogs in our care (compared to managing overall number). We know every dog and family is different so to support this approach, we start every Doggy Daycare relationship with an in-person Meet and Greet. During our Meet and Great we learn about each other to make sure we are a great two way family and environment fit. If not - no worries we are still here to help support and offer suggestions on how to set your individual Puppy Pal up for success. Here to help and offer support.

Dog Training

Our dog training services are facilitated and designed by our owner, Nikki Nordick. With over ten years working with dogs of all ages, sizes and breed and multiple credentials from three party industry leading organization, Nikki is happy to help support to reach and exceed your training goals. Our learn and play classes offer off leash and on leash learning and socialization games for dogs of all ages, where our courses offer a more structure approach on learning and mastering manners with distractions. For our friends working through fear, stress, unease, reactivity and even aggression, we offer private training virtually, in your home and at Airdrie Puppy Pals

We’re Social

Our main goal is supporting the dogs in our care and our classes. Some dogs in our care can be sensitive or unsure of strangers. To help support them, we do not have viewing windows or offer facility tours. We share many pictures and videos on our social media.

  • "Hi, I’m Duke! Auntie Nikki has been helping my mom with some of my not so perfect behaviours. We have done all of their classes as well as some private training. Mom says auntie Nikki saves her sanity some days and is the reason I know so many tricks! I’m way too smart for mom and she would have been lost without Auntie Nikki teaching her how to help me be a good boy. Auntie Nikki is so patient with me, even when I’m so excited to see her that I forget to focus on being a good boy! I can’t wait to see my APP family again!"

    -Duke

  • "I have so much fun when I get to play at APP it is so awesome to see all my aunties and uncles and play with my friends. Since day 1 I have loved learning and playing at APP. I especially love seeing my Auntie Nikki and learning new tricks and skills with my humans. If you have not tried out APP you are missing out this pup gives it a huge paws up. Come play with me and check it out for yourself!"

    - Murphy

  • "I love going to Airdrie Puppy Pals! I get so excited even hearing daycare, or Auntie Nikkis name. I can hardly contain my excitement when my mom and dad start turning into the parking lot. I have learned so much here, and enjoy all the time I get to spend with my Aunties, Uncles and furry friends. My mom and dad love how happy and tired I am after getting to spend the day or night here! I also highly recommend their training classes, Auntie Nikki is so patient, fun and I just know how much she loves working with us each class! "
