Dog Daycare
Every dog is different — and we love that. At Airdrie Puppy Pals, we plan each day around your pup’s unique needs, energy, and play style.
Our educated Dog Care Specialists build thoughtful playgroups, adjust throughout the day, and notice the little things that help your dog feel safe and happy.
Whether your pup loves a good wrestle or a quiet snuggle, we’re here to make their day fun, fulfilling, and full of love.
Group Classes
Learn, grow, and have fun—together. Our group dog training classes help you build confidence, improve communication, and strengthen your bond with your Puppy Pal in a supportive space.
Classes take place in our clean indoor training bay separate from daycare, with its own entrance, non-slip floors, and comfy seating. Whether you're just starting out or building on what your dog already knows, our team guides you with positive training you can use at home and out in the world.
We offer three main group classes:
You'll find more information about our classes on our website, and you could jump to our online calendar to view our availability and to register online.
Private Training
Sometimes the best support happens one-on-one. Private training gives you and your dog focused, personalized guidance every step of the way.
With years of hands-on experience and advanced education in dog behaviour, our owner and certified trainer Nikki Nordick helps with everything from leash walking and recall to routines at home and behaviour concerns like fear, barking, or reactivity.
Sessions are available at our Airdrie location, virtually across Canada, or in your home in Airdrie and Calgary.
Start with a complimentary discovery call to share your dog’s needs and plan the best next steps or book a session directly if you’re ready.
