BENEFITS OF OUR DOG DAYCARE IN EDMONTON 

Looking for trusted dog daycare in Edmonton? At The Urban Dog, we offer a safe, structured, and supervised environment where your pup can enjoy a full day of fun, exercise, and learning. Our West Edmonton dog daycare is designed to give your dog both physical activity and important socialization skills, while giving you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring hands.

  • Structured Play & Training Support: Our supervised dog daycare matches dogs based on temperament, play style, and energy levels, ensuring a safe and positive experience. We can also help address common challenges such as jumping, barking, shyness, and social skills, bringing balance and harmony to your pup’s routine.

  • Exercise & Socialization: Dogs thrive on activity and companionship. That’s why our Edmonton dog daycare provides supervised off-leash play, treadmill walks at a natural pace, and plenty of opportunities to meet and interact with new dogs. This helps reduce anxiety, encourages positive behavior, and supports overall well-being.

  • Relief from Boredom & Destructive Behaviors: A satisfied dog is a happy dog! Our puppy daycare and adult dog daycare programs give your pup healthy outlets for their energy, preventing destructive behaviours like chewing, digging, or excessive barking at home. With mental stimulation, play, and a consistent routine, your pup comes home calm, satisfied, and better behaved.

  • Comfort & Enrichment: In the summer, dogs can splash and cool off in outdoor pools, while year-round they can lounge on raised cots indoors and outdoors. We keep things fun, relaxing, and enriching so your dog always looks forward to coming back.

  • Clean & Caring Environment: Safety is our top priority. Our entire team is Pet First Aid Certified, and we maintain the highest standards of cleanliness using eco-friendly, pet-safe, non-toxic cleaning products.

  • Conveniently located in West Edmonton, The Urban Dog is open Monday to Friday from 6:30am–7:00pm, making it easy to fit reliable dog daycare near you into your busy schedule.

  • Please note: For the safety of all dogs in our care, we cannot accept aggressive dogs.

Dog Training in Edmonton

 

 

Christina is off with SuperDogs this Summer!🐾

Our trainer, Christina, is currently away performing with the SuperDogs team, so our training classes are on summer break and will return this fall.

Registration for our upcoming fall classes is now open. If the posted dates don't fit your schedule, please complete the Training Registration Form and select "Add Me to the Training Interest List." We'll be happy to contact you when additional classes and dates become available.

Many of our classes fill quickly, so we encourage you to reserve your spot early or join the interest list to stay informed about future sessions.

At The Urban Dog, we believe every pup can thrive with the right guidance. Our professional dog training in Edmonton helps dogs of all ages learn good manners, build confidence, and strengthen the bond they share with their families. Whether you're looking for beginner obedience classes, advanced training, or help with common behaviour challenges, our structured, reward-based approach focuses on practical skills that work in everyday life.

  • Customized Training for Every Dog: We understand that each dog is unique. That’s why our West Edmonton dog training programs are tailored to your pup’s temperament, energy level, and individual needs. From basic obedience to correcting unwanted behaviours like jumping, pulling, or barking, we focus on practical solutions that help dogs succeed at home and in public.

  • Our Beginner Obedience class is an excellent starting point for puppies and adult dogs alike, helping build confidence, focus, good manners, and the foundation skills needed for success at home and in public.

  • Obedience & Manners: We teach essential commands like sit, stay, down, come, and heel, while also improving impulse control and polite interactions with people and other dogs.

  • Behaviour & Confidence Building: Many dogs need more than basic obedience. Our training programs help address common challenges such as jumping, pulling on leash, overexcitement, lack of focus, and confidence around new people, dogs, and environments. Through structured training, clear communication, and consistent practice, we help dogs develop better self-control and confidence while strengthening their relationship with their owners.

 

At The Urban Dog, we go beyond the basics to help you raise a well-mannered, happy, and confident companion. If you’re looking for dog training near you in Edmonton, we’re here to guide both you and your pup every step of the way.

Dog Enrichment Add-On Services in Edmonton

 

 

Mental Stimulation & Confidence-Building for Dogs

At The Urban Dog, we offer structured dog enrichment add-on services in Edmonton designed to provide focused mental stimulation, confidence-building challenges, and problem-solving opportunities. Our enrichment programs are optional upgrades that can be added to your dog’s daycare visit or boarding stay.

Enrichment is not included in regular daycare pricing. These sessions are specialty activities designed to engage your dog beyond standard group play.

What Is Dog Enrichment?

Dog enrichment supports your dog’s mental health by encouraging natural behaviours such as sniffing, foraging, problem-solving, and environmental exploration. Mental stimulation helps reduce boredom, supports behavioural balance, and builds confidence.

Our enrichment sessions are carefully supervised and tailored to your dog’s comfort level.

Our Enrichment Add-On Menu

We offer a variety of enrichment experiences such as:

  • Snuffle Café (scent-based foraging activity)

  • Bubble Bounce (movement-based stimulation session)

  • Wobble Woof (confidence-building balance challenges)

  • Food puzzle problem-solving sessions

Each enrichment activity is offered as a paid add-on during daycare or boarding.

How to Add Enrichment to Your Dog’s Visit

Enrichment can be requested either in person on drop off or when booking daycare or overnight dog boarding in Edmonton. 

Contact The Urban Dog to add enrichment sessions to your dog’s next visit.
