Has your dog visited our daycamp before? With the cold weather approaching, It is a great time to get them registered to visit. Book your dog's assessment today!

Our daycamp is different than the others.
- We provide enrichment activities for free.
- We ensure small groups so dogs aren't overwhelmed and can have more fun.
- We have 2 spaces available so that we can ensure the dogs are paired with their friends
- We have a dedicated day on Wednesdays for small dogs and puppies!

Booking an assessment helps us see if your dog is a good fit for daycamp. We will let you know if your dog is having fun, or too stressed out for daycamp. The dog's wellbeing, mental, and physical health are our main concerns and some dogs do not do well in that setting. That's ok, and we will be honest with you! That is also why we offer our Bootcamp services, so that your dog still gets out of the house, has mental stimulation, but on their own terms, not in a group setting.

Visit www.dumbledogs.com to book an assessment today.

Happy Howl-oween, everyone!

It has been a busy week so far at Dumbledogs!
Here's a snapshot of all the costumes we have seen this week to show you some of the hilarious and creative clients we have!
Our amazing clients were ready with treats at their doors to contribute to treat bags that each daycare dog is getting to take home, and we (and your dogs) are so grateful for each and every one of those treats 🐶

Thank you to all of you who have given us the pleasure of taking care of your little (or not-so-little) monsters, goblins, and vampires. We look forward to seeing the rest of you tomorrow!

Winner receives one free day of daycare!

We’d love to have your votes on our stories Friday evening so you can vote who has the best costume this year!!

Five years ago, we shared some exciting news: the opening of our Dumbledogs facility. Today, on our 5th anniversary, we’re thrilled to share another milestone using the same photo from that special day. We’ve signed a ten-year lease, ensuring that Dumbledogs will be here for the long haul.

With this great news, we’re also taking the opportunity to upgrade our facility. These improvements are designed to make the space even more comfortable for our community. We’ll be installing a new air conditioning unit, ceiling fans, additional electrical outlets extending to both ends of the rooms, and replacing old halogen lights with energy-efficient LED lighting.

We want to express our deepest thanks to everyone who has supported us over these five years. Your loyalty means everything to us. We kindly ask for your patience during these renovations, as there may be some disruptions along the way. We remain committed to promoting positive reinforcement training and dog sports, and we’re excited to continue serving you for many more years to come.

We have a few spots left for Frisbee Foundations class starting on Sunday!

Did you know that Canine Disc is not only an outlet for exercise, but It allows dogs to do natural behaviours like tracking, chasing, biting, and retrieving, giving them the opportunity to practice their instincts.

Your dog does not need to know disc already to join class. We work on engagement and building drive to get discs and even how to safely throw for your dog.

Disc can be played in your back yard and the only equipment you need is the frisbee unlike other dog sports that require more equipment.

There are many fun and easy disc sports you can play that are beginner friendly and reactive dog friendly too!

It's important to keep training with your dog because learning new skills and engaging in mental challenges can help increase their lifespan.

Just like physical exercise, mental stimulation is key to a dog's well-being.

Taking classes like scent work and trick training not only keeps your dog sharp but also builds their confidence and strengthens your bond.

Scenting classes tap into their natural instincts, while trick classes challenge their creativity and focus.

Consistent training creates a happier, healthier dog, and a well-exercised mind leads to a longer, more fulfilled life!

We have openings in both our scenting foundations and scenting advanced classes, as well as our k9 magic tricks class starting this week!
