Doggie daycare has become increasingly popular as Calgarians’ lives have become increasingly busy. There really is no substitute for running free with a group of other friendly, appropriately matched dogs. Whether you work long hours or just want your pups to spend some time socializing, Waggin’ Tails can offer all the fun and games your dog is looking for!
At Waggin’ Tails, dogs are screened for temperment, placed into appropriate playgroups and supervised by professionals. We feel that it is important to the growth and well being of the dogs in our care to be segregated into appropriate playgroups. Dogs will be separated by age, size and play style because not all dogs have the same play styles! Some dogs like over-the-top, full-body contact sports while others would prefer a quiet friend to snuggle with. We fully understand that for each dog to enjoy their day with us, they should have friends who play the same way they do. We have a kennel room, dedicated to quiet times as required, as well as an area that can house dogs who can not be crated. It is important that the dogs receive quiet times throughout the day to ensure they do not get over-stimulated.
We strongly believe in positive reinforcement (reward-based) training and will only promote, enforce and practice those methods in our facility.
If you are interested in having your pups attend daycare with us, please call or email to schedule a FREE trial first day. We like to personally meet each dog that comes into our facility to ensure daycare is appropriate for them. When you come to the trial day , you will be required to bring copies of your pup’s vaccination records. All dogs entering our daycare must be vaccinated for rabies, parvo and distemper.

Late Fee Because our doggies are at home waiting for us, a late fee of $15 will apply per every 15 minutes you are late picking up. We close at 6 pm, so late fees will start accumulating if you have not picked up your dog by that time.
More than one dog? No problem! Discounted rates are available for additional dogs in the same household.
We appreciate our clients. To show our appreciation for telling your friends about us, we will give you a free extra day of daycare when they buy their first daycare package and mention your name.
The staff at Waggin’ Tails have all had numerous years’ experience in rescue and each have their own adopted animals. Each one of us is very passionate about rescue and to show our love, we will offer your adopted pup 15% off any grooming or daycare package on their first visit.
