Doggy Doolil Daycare is a home based daycare in it's 21st year and owned and operated by a skilled trainer and behaviourist. Located just minutes from Surrey Central, we are accessible just off the 17, Scott Rd and King George Blvd, the new Riverview (aka Patullo) Bridge going to New West.
Our philosophy is to keep your furry friend safe and happy in an open concept space without kennels or crates, socializing with dogs outdoors as much as possible, and learning to share toys. With a 3000 sq.ft turfed yard and a 400 sq.ft covered deck, the dogs get a lot of fresh air and exercise. For day that are too hot or too cold, we cozy up in the cottage to enjoy an air purified cozy spade with A/C or Sheepskin rugs and cozy beds and couches.
This is where puppies grow and learn from a great mix of breeds, sizes and ages. Open for all medium to small dogs under 70lbs with some basic training. New puppies can enjoy our pack of dogs teaching them social graces, rules and boundaries with the supervision of Mimi, the Pack leader. Dogs must be in good health and spayed or neutered by 1 years old. Some exceptions may apply.
Remember to bring your earplugs because the howling and whining starts only a few block away, as their excitement of coming to see their friends is hard for them to contain. Here they are truly living a tail wagging dogs life.
And everyone knows their name...

The owner/operator Mimi, is certified in Obedience and Animal Behaviour Consultation. She has owned many dogs and pets in her lifetime and at 61 she still wrangles a pack of up to 20 dogs on her own in her cozy little cottage and 3000 sq ft back yard

Our daycare is located close to the New Bridge, off 17, Scott Rd and King George BLVD, just minutes from Surrey Central and offers both indoor and outdoor space for our pack. There are 2 other daycare's that service N Surrey. One is a new daycare in Surrey Central and takes all size dogs and is an indoor daycare, and one is down closer to 96, and is only small dogs.

We operate an open concept daycare where all dogs play together, learn together and nap together. Our pack leader is a professional dog trainer and Animal Behaviourist, and leads the pack with calm assertive energy, so some training on your part will be required to attend our group. Our pack leader also teaches Obedience and Pack leadership, so if you want to look up her training site go to www.packleaderacademy.ca

Yes, our pack leader has her certification in Pet First Aid.

As an Animal Behaviourist, I assess for aggression and only take in those that struggle with fear based submissive energy, not the reactive energy. Our pack is a great place for rehabilitating certain fear aggressive behaviours. I don't allow for competitive dominant aggression fighting for top dog position, as I am the top dog here and the dogs learn that on day one. This leaves them all on the same level and ready to play.

We have recently set a limit to the size of dogs we accept to only under 70 lbs. So basically Labs and under. We still have a couple of giant breeds in our regular pack, but they started as pups and are going into their senior years now, so they are grandfathered in. They are great for dogs that are nervous around larger dogs as these two are very gentle with nervous dogs.

Our dogs are outside for most of the day unless its too cold or too hot. We have a 400 sq.ft. covered deck with comfy couches and pet beds, rubber mats for soft wrestling spots and a large 3000 sq.ft turfed back yard for zooming and running.

Morning ball play for those who want to join in and free play for running around and zooming in the afternoon.

Yes, after the puppies get their lunch, we all settle down for nap time from 11 am to 1 pm. We don't use crates, but train them to relax when top dog sits down. Puppies will figure out not to bother the sleeping dogs and learns to respect their naps.

No, only in an emergency, if we need to limit movement of a dog that has been injured, will we crate a dog. We operate an open concept space.

Yes, the basic cocktail plus Lepto, Rabies and Bordatella is required. There is some new information coming out on some vaccines that I am reconsidering, so ask me about it.

Yes, but we don't ask for it before 1 years old, or if the female is in her cycle, or the male is overly humpy. We believe the growth in the first year needs the hormones to develop a healthy strong dog. A break in attendance might be required until the time the dog has been altered.
