THE PROBLEM
Your dog deserves better than a warehouse with concrete floors and no daylight.
Many pet parents in Surrey often choose the nearest option, only to be puzzled when their furry friends return home stressed, stinky, unwell, or with even worse behaviours than before!
Let's change that for the better!
Small storefronts with no, or small windows or natural light, and cold concrete floors
Dogs monitored by young inexperienced staff — with no dog behaviour understanding
Chaotic, noisy, stinky store front day cares that mop pee with the same mop water all day
No transparency, keeps dogs in the back room with no access to daylight
Segregation of dogs, blocking what could be a friendship and an opportunity to grow
Other trainers who quit on tough cases because all they know is 'treat training'
THE SOLUTION
Three simple steps from hesitation to a happy pack dog.

The PupHaus in Surrey, BC, offers cozy living with couches, over-size pet beds, sheep-skins and toys and a big backyard with turf. Our daycare membership is structured, calm, and highly supervised and secure with cameras. And your dog won't get in unless they sit in a calm wait. And that goes for the pack too. No one enters in a high state of excitement. This is what makes us an exceptional daycare setup. You've hit the jackpot with this facility!
Most commercial daycares are unmonitored chaos, but a facility that enforces structural boundaries, gateway impulse control, and calm entries is actively helping you train your dogs' brain to find calm. And you need calm to train a dog! With dual expertise in Rescue Rehabilitation and Trauma placement care, we solve complex behavioral issues and replace fear, reactivity, and leash-pulling with calm, predictable habits. The Pack simply knows. Let Mimi assess your misunderstood dog. Join North Surrey's top choice for dog care and training now to grab your spot. There is only a few select spots. So don't miss out! The bridge is done and we will soon fill up! "All family pets qualify for a free assessment".

BOARD & TRAIN
Mijo, a 5 month old GSD learning to calm down.
You can't train a dog that is in a high state of excitement, and nervous or fearful of the world. Mijo came to me as a high energy reactive dog with zero skills on self soothing. Too frazzled to be in a home due to him crashing into everything, including us humans. He has no understanding of personal space. And he was too comfortable in his crate to want to deal with the world. After slow distance exposure to the pack and a lot of work waiting for his calm, he finally got it. Nothing happens when he is wild and thrashing around. But when he sits and waits, all kinds of fun happens.
And by day 4 he joined the pack.
Our next hurdle is his reactive behaviour to dogs and humans on walks. We can finally start working on the leash this week. Here is a video of some of the work I did to get him there.
This is day 6 and the third day in with the pack, and today he is standing on his own, without me to hide behind.

Our Clients Say...
Barky started training with Mimi when he was just 5 months old. Mimi, the 'pack leader', gave us so many insights into his behaviour that we never would have recognized on our own. She helped us address issues early, such as ignoring recall and jumping on us when we came home. More importantly, she didn't just train Barky - she trained us as owners too. Whenever she noticed we were forgetting part of the training or becoming inconsistent, she would remind us and explain why it mattered. That ongoing guidance made all the difference!!
