Dog Daycare
Every Puppy Pal is unique. At Airdrie Puppy Pals, we create enriching days where your Puppy Pal’s happiness and wellbeing stay at the heart of everything we do.
We plan each day 24 hours in advance based on the individual Puppy Pals in our care. This helps us build playgroups that match what we know about each Puppy Pal. Some enjoy a good wrestle, some love to chase, and some feel happiest with a quiet snuggle friend. As the day moves along, our team adjusts based on energy, mood, and how each group is feeling. Our goal is to make every day fun and fulfilling.
Our amazing team of educated Dog Care Specialists supervises every playroom and supports each Puppy Pal with attentive care. We are always learning, always observing, and always taking time to understand what makes your Puppy Pal unique. From the way they play to the small details that help them feel at ease, we notice it all because that is what we want for our own Puppy Pals too.
At the end of the day, we hope your Puppy Pal returns home happy, relaxed, and ready for their next adventure. That is what dog daycare should feel like, and that is what we love to provide.
Group Classes
What makes our group training classes so special? It is the chance to learn, grow, and have fun together with your Puppy Pal and with others who are on the same journey. Each class helps you build confidence, improve communication, and strengthen your bond in a supportive and positive space.
All of our group training takes place in our clean indoor training bay with its own entrance separate from our dog daycare. The space offers more than 2000 square feet with a non slip epoxy floor, temperature control, and comfortable seating for humans. This welcoming environment gives every Puppy Pal a clean and positive place to learn and build new skills.
We keep class sizes small with only four to eight Puppy Pals in each group, and we welcome up to two people per Puppy Pal. Whether you are just getting started or building on what your Puppy Pal already knows, our team guides you with positive training that feels simple to use in everyday life.
In our group puppy classes, we welcome Puppy Pals from eight to sixteen weeks of age and guide them through these important early weeks of learning and socialization.
We introduce foundation skills, support confident play, and create a safe space where your Puppy Pal can explore and grow with you by their side. These early experiences help your Puppy Pal build lifelong confidence in a positive way.
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.
Our level one dog obedience course called Minding Our Manners helps you and your Puppy Pal build strong teamwork while you practice around real life distractions.
We practice real-life skills like listening when distracted, walking on a loose leash, recall, and more all in a supportive group setting.
Private Training
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.
