I can’t wait to go to school!”

We are the largest Dog Cen­tre in Toronto. Our Day­care oper­ates on a rota­tion plat­form, keep­ing dogs stim­u­lated and happy all day long. Our Day­care pro­gram incor­po­rates con­trolled play, exer­cise, out­door romps, men­tal stim­u­la­tion, social­iza­tion and rest, all of which are vital to the well being of your pet. We group our packs in 10–12 dogs per han­dler to ensure max­i­mum safety.

We are a state-of-the-art facil­ity equipped with ath­letic rub­ber­ized floor­ing (which reduces stress to joints and hips), year-round cli­mate con­trolled rooms, fil­tered water, three walks a day and web-cam ser­vice in our play­rooms (allow­ing you to visit your dog as often as you want through the Internet).

Come take a seat!”

Our staff are well trained pro­fes­sion­als and hold the well being of your pet in the high­est regard. (*please see our biog­ra­phy page for more on our staff). Your pet will even lounge in our com­pletely fur­nished den set­tings which were designed to emu­late their home envi­ron­ment in order to keep them happy and comfortable.

Dogs get a great deal of phys­i­cal exer­cise at dog day­care and even more impor­tant, their behav­ior often improves with the intense dog-dog and dog-human social­iza­tion. If you don’t always have the time to prop­erly exer­cise, much less social­ize your dog, day­care can elim­i­nate the prob­lem of an iso­lated, bored and under-exercised dog. Many of our clients say that their dogs are so happy and tired when they pick them up, they don’t feel guilty about going out that night.

Here are some rea­sons why day­care is so impor­tant for your dog:

Dogs are pack ani­mals and there­fore social­iza­tion is cru­cial for dogs of all ages. At The Orig­i­nal Dog House Inc; we ensure your dog will ben­e­fit from the following:

  • Social­iza­tion skills, both human and canine
  • Learn bet­ter house manners
  • Will be well exer­cised there­fore will relieve pent-up energy and stress
  • Your dog will have a lot of fun and make new friends
  • And you won’t be wor­ried about your dog being bored, destruc­tive, or lonely
