Doggy Doolil Daycare is a cozy cottage daycare in it's 21st year and owned and operated by a professional trainer and behaviourist. Located just minutes from Surrey Central, they are accessible just off the 17, Scott Rd, King George Blvd, and the newly almost completed River View (aka Patullo) Bridge going to New West.
They strive 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 under a huge covered deck, and a clean Pet turfed yard, learning to share toys, treats and friends while getting plenty of mental stimulation.

Their philosophy dictates that pack leaders must be calm, assertive, confident, and consistent to ensure a dog's well-being and stability without hurting their fun loving spirit. By creating structure, setting clear rules and boundaries, and providing calm-assertive energy rather than relying on aggressive, over dominant, or the opposite, solely positive reinforcement, the relationships will grow, trust will form and true followers will take the submissive stance, form a pack of equals, and follow rules and boundaries set by the pack leader.

Yes, our dog daycare is licensed with the City of Surrey and we have insurance through Western Coast Insurance Co.

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.

We find that some of the best friends are small dogs with big dogs. They don't often care about size, but play style and energy. Seeing a large dog submit to a small dog to play is sweet, and the little one loves getting the upper hand. When they divide groups by size they are hindering some very good friendships to form.

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

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. Worst case scenario, take out the hose.

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. Your vet will make sure you have all that you need, so make sure you mention you will be bringing your dog to daycare or boarding.

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.

Yes, we offer a service called Bed & Buddies in home dog boarding service that offers open concept dog daycare throughout the week and weekend activities with the family dog, Sandy. No kennels or crates, so some training is required, or you can bring your own crate to maintain the dog while sleeping or napping.
