Meet Your Trainer & Care Provider, Mimi.
Unlike chaotic, overcrowded and noisy commercial facilities, or small store front locations with very little natural light and rooms with no windows, Mimi offers an exclusive 'members-only' stable daycare pack tailored for your peace of mind. Your dog will enjoy a cozy cottage with wooden floors, not concrete, sheep skins and pet beds and windows all around letting the sunshine in and conveniently located for North Surrey / Commuters: Bridgeview.
There is a large, fully secure and turfed and dig proofed backyard with 6-foot privacy fencing and double-gated safety locks and security cameras, a large covered deck with comfy couches and toys galore, managed entirely by a single professional. How? With over two decades of hands-on experience and 37 years of living and studying a pack of dogs. She's a real Pack Leader!
As a solo operator of her doggy daycare since 2005, holding certifications in; Dog Obedience, Behaviour Modification, Pet First Aid, and currently studying for her Canine Trauma-informed Care, she can provide a level of structured care, behavioural insight, and safety that ordinary doggy daycares simply cannot match. Your dog will come to socialize and will receive expert training without even knowing it's learning.
Mimi has lived with her own pack of up to 5 dogs for a total of 37 years of her life, and operates the daycare entirely solo, so your dog is under 100% active, expert supervision by a certified professional with 21+ years of experience in handling a pack of up to 25 daycare dogs — that are never left alone or monitored by untrained staff armed with a spray bottle.
Mimi is the founder of The PupHaus Dog Daycare & Training, and the instructor at PackLeader Academy. Her mission is to bridge the gap between premium canine care and science-backed behavioral education. She designed her training programs to draw on what she knows best. Puppies and dogs struggling with some form of trauma.
Alongside running her daily daycare program of stable, happy dogs, she also works directly with families through PackLeader Academy to offer specialized education for the early stages of your dog's life and for those rescuing or adopting dogs that struggle to find their way. This is the most important and beneficial thing I and the pack can help these dogs with. Learning how to fit in with the humans and dogs in their life.
Her comprehensive training programs include:
🐾 Puppy Classes: Foundational socialization and manners to get your new companion started on the right paw.
🏡 Private Sessions: Tailored, one-on-one coaching in your home or at her facility to target your specific training goals and needs.
🚦 Teen Programs: Specialized programs to help anxious or reactive young dogs and their humans learn to navigate the world.
Day Training: Combining Daycare with training to help puppies and teens thrive in a social setting while learning to dog.
Boot Camp: Board & Train is designed to have your dog living in our home and learning boundaries, limitations and rules.
By combining the hands-on expertise from her ethical training programs with their meticulously structured daycare routine, she will ensure that every dog in her care receives the highest standard of safety, kindness, respect, love, mental stimulation, and behavioral support. And any rehabilitation of a dog that she worked with would not not have been achieved so quickly without the support from her pack. She says she couldn't do it without them.
