Puppy

If you’re in Surrey, BC, and looking for a place that truly understands the importance of a calm, social, and well-trained dog, I can’t recommend The PackHaus and Doggy Doolil Daycare/PackLeader Academy enough. They focus on creating a home-like environment where dogs thrive, not just survive, and teach the right Calm Assertive Pack Leadership dogs need to be social butterflies that are welcome in all situations.

We believe no dog wants to hurt another. Even the toughest dogs just want to feel safe and respected. That’s why we vet every dog thoroughly before they join the pack. Trust is key — we trust the dogs, and they trust us. We do have breed restrictions, however. We use common sense in knowing what breeds should be avoided in most daycare settings. And in our daycare we don't allow any bully breed, like pit bulls, American Staffies, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Akita's, Huskies, Shar

But before you sign up, you might be wondering: How much is this going to cost me? Well, buckle up, because I’m here to walk you through the ins and outs of puppy training class prices, breaking down what you can expect to pay and why it’s worth every penny.

Separation anxiety in dogs can feel like a big mountain to climb, but with love, patience, and the right strategies, you and your furry friend can reach the summit together. Remember, every dog is unique, so keep trying different approaches until you find what works best for your dog.

For example, Doggy Doolil Daycare in Surrey focuses on creating a calm, well-socialized pack. They don’t just watch dogs; they guide them to build good habits and confidence. This kind of expert supervision makes a big difference in how your dog behaves at home and around others.

One of the sweetest things I’ve noticed as a dog handler is how happy dogs are when their owners come to pick them up. You can see the joy in their eyes and the wagging tails. It's the most exciting part of our day, because their favourite person just arrived and it's butt wiggling time! It’s clear the owner is their pack.

This gives you all the reasons why you should choose Doggy Doolil Daycare for your furry little friend.

After establishing the daycare, I became certified in Dog Obedience and began offering obedience classes and private in-home session in 2011. Over the years, I also read a lot of books on dog behaviour and then I obtained certifications in Pet First Aid and Animal Behaviour in 2018, enabling me to expertly care for and analyze dog behaviour in a pack setting of up to 25 regular dogs daily, within an open-concept facility free from kennels or crates.

When Mike arrived with 3 Labs, one white, one brown and a new yellow Lab, I was curious. He told me the situation and thought I should take him on. I told him I'd think about it, and within the hour, I decided to do just that. I had a new dog!

Introducing our Obedience / Packleader classes

It's where my tagline 'This is where CARING, SEEKING and PLAY makes FEAR, GRIEF and RAGE go away' came from. I monitor and control the energy here, making sure no prey/predator behaviour escalates to an uncontrolled level where dogs turn into animals and are hard to distract or control. I have seen this happen at dog parks, and it usually comes from distracted dog owners not recognizing that their dog is going too far and needs to be checked.

It was so warm yesterday that I decided to take out and clean the pool, and set it up for the dogs to use today. Now it's not as hot as it was yesterday, where the temperatures rose to 26 degrees but it's pool weather for sure.
