About A Dog’s Best Friend Doggy Day Care- West

What they offer

This is the west Vancouver location of A Dog's Best Friend, on NE 78th Street, combining dog training with daycare and sleepovers. Its award-winning trainers use balanced, transparent methods with programs built around each dog and owner.

Training

Young puppies start with Puppy Kindergarten for socialization and foundational obedience. Play & Train blends private sessions with a trainer and social time in daycare to work on on-leash obedience and leash manners, and Courteous Canine covers the foundations of a well-mannered dog, including leash skills and beginning recall. For more intensive help, the board and train program works on obedience, house manners and harder behaviors in a real home setting, and there is a puppy version as well.

Before you start

Every dog takes a temperament assessment before daycare, sleepovers or training so the staff can place it in the right group.
