Professional Doggy Day School & Training in Mississauga
Serving Oakville, Etobicoke, and the Greater Toronto Area
Dog Day School is the upgrade for owners who want more training and mental engagement built into their dog’s day — not just daycare, a training day.
Every Day School dog gets the full structured routine — play, obstacle course, quiet time, outdoor time, kennel time — plus treadmill work and trainer-led group training.
Hours
Monday to Saturday, 7:30 AM – 6:30 PM.
How evaluations work
Every new dog starts with a 3-hour evaluation: drop off at 9:00 AM, pick up at 12:00 PM, Monday to Saturday. We assess temperament, play style, and arousal around other dogs to make sure Day School is the right fit.

The Day School extras

Treadmill / Slatmill work
Structured movement that delivers real physical exercise while building focus, confidence, and self-control.
Group training — 30 minutes
Group place training: dogs hold place calmly around other dogs, people, and distractions. The fastest way to build impulse control — plus sit, down, and door manners, all trainer-led.
Owners also receive practice-at-home videos of the exercises, so the training continues after pickup.
Day School pricing
Pricing starts at $64/day for multi-day packages. Multiple dog discounts available.
Is Day School Right for Your Dog?
Day School is perfect for:
✓ Owners who want a results-driven upgrade from daycare
✓ Dogs who would benefit from additional structure
✓ Dogs who need practice settling around other dogs
✓ Dogs working on basic obedience and impulse control
✓ Owners who want training reinforced during their dog’s day
All dogs must successfully complete our evaluation and qualify before attending Day School. Not suitable for dogs with aggression or serious reactivity that prevents safe group participation.
We’re located in Mississauga and welcome dogs from Oakville, Etobicoke, and the GTA.
