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.

The most effective trick I have found is teaching your dog to walk beside you using the "heel" command combined with immediate feedback. This means the moment your dog starts to pull, you stop walking or turn and walk in a different direction, giving the dog zero attention. You only move forward again when the leash is slack, rewarding the dog for calming down with a pet or a treat and encouraging your dog to stay close.

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

I'm Miss Mimi and I still wrangle a pack of dogs here at my home based Doggy Doolil Daycare, which I founded in 2005.

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.

Is your dog anxious and struggling to adapt to any situation? Maybe we can help

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.

Please welcome Oscar the Frenchie! Hes a 10 month old Frenchie and the life of the party today. Its his first day here, and he's friends...

We are currently encountering a major issue in the dog behavior training field, which I have termed 'Dog Covid Syndrome' (DCS). But what does this term signify to me? Is your dog experiencing fear? Is your dog scared of people and other animals? What does DCS entail? Allow me to elaborate.

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.
