Training Classes
Learn, grow, and have fun together. Our group training classes offer a supportive way to learn with your dog while connecting with other families who are working toward similar goals.
At Airdrie Puppy Pals, we offer three group training options to support dogs at different stages:
All classes are held in our clean, indoor training bay, separate from daycare and designed specifically for learning. The space has its own entrance, non-slip flooring, and comfortable seating so you can focus on your dog and the work you’re doing together.
Classes are guided by an instructor who understands dogs and supports both ends of the leash. You’ll learn in an environment built for connection, clear communication, and steady progress alongside other families.
Every dog is different and we love that. When you join our dog daycare in Airdrie, we start with an in person meet and greet so we can get to know you and your Puppy Pal and make sure our daycare program is the right fit for your family.
Once your dog joins us their day is built around who they are. We take the time to match them with playgroups that fit their energy and style so they can relax have fun and enjoy the day learning and playing with their friends.
Our wonderful team of educated Dog Care Specialists carefully plan our playgroups and guide the day with a proactive approach. If we notice changes in behavior we connect with our APP families to talk through what we see and support steps that keep everyone set up for success.
We are more than a doggy daycare program. We give your dog a day that supports learning friendship and the things that matter to you and your family.
We offer private training and behavior consulting for families who want focused sessions shaped around their Puppy Pal. Private training supports everyday skills such as loose leash walking, polite greetings, and routines that make daily life easier. Behavior support is for dogs who show bigger feelings such as barking, reactivity, or worry around new people or other dogs.
Private Training and Behavior consulting is led by Nikki Nordick (CDBC, IAABC-ADT, CPDT-KA CBCC-KA, FFCP, a certified professional with advanced education in dog behavior and training.
Behavior can feel complicated. It does not have to. To get started we offer a complimentary phone call you can schedule at a time that works for you. This gives you space to share your questions and helps us guide you to the service that fits your Puppy Pal.
