Doggy Daycare – Is It Right for Your Dog?
Doggy daycare isn’t for every dog, and as a responsible, structured facility, we ensure all clients meet our basic requirements before starting. From there, we focus on building a lasting relationship with you and your pup, promoting positive behavior and a rewarding daycare experience.
Getting Started
🐾 Free Trial: A required, up to 2-hour trial session allows you and your dog to meet our staff and explore the facility. Trials are scheduled with flexibility, depending on weather and availability.
🐾 Requirements:
✔ Up-to-date vaccinations, including Bordetella (kennel cough)
✔ Certification of behavioral training completion
Our Approach to Play & Structure
Our daycare operates in multiple yards, divided by size and personality to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. Some dogs may need multiple visits before being introduced to a larger playgroup. Puppies must complete at least 10 half-day sessions before transitioning to full days, at our discretion.
If a dog is unable to follow our policies or exhibits ongoing behavioural concerns, we may require them to discontinue daycare services.
Daycare Hours & Booking
🕒 Monday – Friday: 7:30 AM – 6:00 PM
🕒 Saturday: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM (weather-dependent)
Starting January 1, 2025, we will offer:
🔹 Quarter Days: 3 hours or less
🔹 Half Days: 3+ to 5 hours
🔹 Full Days: 5+ hours
To maintain consistency, clients must book at least one day per week with a package or one day every two weeks for pay-per-day options. Bookings are first come, first served, and availability is based on size and personality groupings.
📅 Check with us for current openings before booking! See our price list below for rates. 🐶✨
Daycare Requirements
To ensure a safe and structured environment, all dogs must meet the following requirements before joining daycare:
✅ Signed Agreement: Owners must review and sign our daycare policies.

✅ Spay/Neuter Policy: Dogs over 6 months must be fixed or provide a confirmed spay/neuter plan.
✅ Behavioral Training: Proof of completion of a certified training program.

These steps help us maintain a fun, safe, and well-structured daycare experience for all!
Why Obedience Matters & Why Dogs Thrive on Routine
A well-balanced dog starts with structure, consistency, and clear communication.
Dogs thrive when they know what is expected of them. Just like people, dogs feel more confident and secure when their days have predictable routines, clear boundaries, and consistent expectations.
Obedience isn't just about teaching your dog to sit or stay. It's about building communication, impulse control, confidence, and the ability to make good choices in different environments. Skills such as responding to their name, coming when called, waiting patiently, and settling when asked can make a world of difference in your dog's everyday life.
At Pineo’s Pet Spaw, structure is an important part of a successful daycare experience.
We believe dogs benefit from more than just free play. Our daycare focuses on balanced social interactions, appropriate playgroups, supervised activities, rest periods, and enrichment opportunities. We group dogs according to factors such as their size, age, and energy level to help create a safer, more positive environment for everyone.
Why Routine Makes a Difference
- Builds confidence: Predictable routines help dogs understand what comes next and feel more secure in their surroundings.
- Encourages calm behaviour: A balance of activity, mental stimulation, and rest helps dogs learn to settle rather than becoming overstimulated.
- Supports better social skills: Clear boundaries and appropriate interactions help dogs develop healthier relationships with other dogs.
- Improves communication: Consistent expectations at home and at daycare help dogs understand what we are asking of them.
- Promotes mental enrichment: Sniffing, exploring, problem-solving, and learning provide valuable mental exercise alongside physical activity.
Daycare Works Best as a Team Effort
Daycare is most successful when the expectations we establish are reinforced at home. Practicing basic obedience, maintaining consistent routines, and rewarding desirable behaviours all help your dog get the most out of their daycare experience.
Our goal isn't simply to send your dog home tired. It's to provide an environment where they can learn, socialize appropriately, build confidence, and enjoy a healthy balance of activity and rest.
Because a happy dog isn't just a tired dog — it's a dog that feels safe, confident, and understood.
