Where the happiest dogs
learn and play!

Whether you're raising a brand new puppy or supporting your adult dog’s next chapter, we’re here to help your whole family feel confident, connected, and cared for.
You’ll find everything you need right here on our website, from up-to-date service info and pricing to online registration and availability.
Take a look around — and if you have any questions, we’re always happy to help.
Every dog is different, and that’s exactly how we plan our days at Airdrie Puppy Pals .
At Airdrie Puppy Pals, we create enriching days where your dog’s happiness and well-being are always at the heart of what we do.
How do we do it? We plan each day 24 hours in advance based on the individual dogs in our care. That lets us build playgroups around what we know about our Puppy Pals — who loves to wrestle, who prefers chasing, and who’s happiest with a snuggle buddy. As the day unfolds, we adjust based on energy, mood, and how the groups are doing. It’s all about making every day fun and fulfilling.
Our playrooms are always supervised by our amazing team of educated Dog Care Specialists. We’re always learning, always observing, and always taking time to understand what makes your dog unique. From the way they play to the little things they need to feel at ease, we notice it all — because that’s what we’d want for our own Puppy Pals too.
At the end of the day, we want your dog to come home happy, relaxed, and ready for their next adventure. That’s what dog daycare should feel like. And that’s what we love to provide.
Group Classes
What makes our group training classes so special? It’s the chance to learn, grow, and have fun together — not just with your dog, but alongside others who are on the same journey. Each class is a chance to build confidence, improve communication, and strengthen your bond with your Puppy Pal in a supportive, positive space.
All of our group training happens in our clean, dedicated indoor training bay, with a separate entrance for our dog daycare. The learning space is over 2,000 square feet with a non-slip epoxy floor, temperature control, and seating for humans. It’s designed to support a calm, clean, and positive learning environment for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds.
We keep class sizes small with just 4 to 8 dogs per group, and welcome up to two people per dog. Whether you're just getting started or building on what your dog already knows, we’re here to guide you with positive training that works in real life.
Puppy Class
In our group puppy classes, we welcome puppies 8 to 16 weeks of age and guide them through the important early weeks of learning and socialization.
We introduce essential foundation skills, support confident play, and create a safe space for your Puppy Pal to explore, grow, and build lifelong confidence — all with you by their side.
Jr Puppy Class
For social puppies 4 to 12 months of age, our Jr Puppy Class is all about continued learning, playful structure, and positive social time.
We guide each session with fun, reward-based training that builds on basic obedience and introduces beginner agility skills in a way that keeps your Puppy Pal engaged and excited to learn.
Minding Our Manners
Our level one dog obedience course is designed to help you and your Puppy Pal work as a team.
We practice real-life skills like listening when distracted, walking on a loose leash, recall, and more — all in a supportive group setting.
This 5-week course gives your dog a solid foundation while keeping learning fun, clear, and rewarding.
Sometimes the best support happens one-on-one. Private training gives you and your Puppy Pal the time, space, and personalized guidance you need to feel confident and supported at every step.
With years of hands-on experience and advanced education in dog behaviour, Nikki Nordick brings a thoughtful and practical approach to each session. Whether you're working on leash walking, recall, routines at home, or behaviour concerns like fear, barking, reactivity or aggression, Nikki will meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and care.
Private training is available at Airdrie Puppy Pals, virtually, or in your home. These sessions allow us to focus fully on your dog in a setting where they can settle in, feel understood, and make meaningful progress.
Every private training journey begins with a complimentary discovery call that you can schedule online on our website. This gives us a chance to learn more about your dog, answer your questions, and find the best next steps together.
